This absolutely HORRIBLE for us. A-TRO-CIOUS!!

Love our organically built squad with a few shrewd, overlooked moves. At this point it is not broken, why tinker with it. Maybe next offseason, some moves to get ahead of expiring but Beal is definitely not the star to get us over the hump with our squad gutted like that and team future handicapped.

H*ll to the no. 8 years of season tickets to the wayside. I suffered long games and seasons for this particular satisfaction. Even more as a fan. That would set us back.

Send us all your team except Trae and we will send you Bradley Beal.  Boy, what a deal!

[turnermx]

Couldn't get much more lopsided than that.   Sounds like a Wizard fan dreaming.

Agreed . If we have to dismantle the team like this to get another proven star next to Trae I’m not for it ….I’d rather wait on Hunter, Reddish, Collins to show us if one of them can be that number 2 option next to Trae and I honestly believe Hunter is going to be the one that shows that before the other 2 next season however IF cam really finds his offensive consistency then he’s a lock at number 2 or may be on Trae level in terms of impact.

no pressure but we have 3 guys who COULD be the number 2 option. We have to wait and see what we have and not trade away this potential.

[macdaddy]

I'll be disappointed if we trade for Beal at all.   Is there a so called 'star' player who's done less in his career than Beal?

I think we seen in recent years the only teams willing to sell the farm for a star are desperate teams. Usually it's just not worth it. The Clippers rationalized their deal with OKC by thinking of it as two stars. The Hawks are not that type of team.

Bird, I saw your purposed deal to get the Hawks Harrison Barnes. Did you make up that deal or read it somewhere?

lol this is a joke, i wouldn't trade hunter for beal straight up even if hunter was taking the same cap space, much less when him and OO are on rookie deals aka extreme value right now to our roster.

[JeffS17]

We're the last team in the league that should be trading for superstars when we potentially have 2 of them on rookie deals right now.

[JayBirdHawk]

I keep seeing 'we need to consolidate' - after last season's injuries?  It was our depth that kept us afloat.  The only consolidation is for a SUPERSTAR - not a shuffling the deck chairs trade because that player is a 'name'

At some point probably - I think at possibly the trade deadline or at the end of next season would give us a good barometer of where we are. 

What we need is to sure up from what we have determined are our playoff weaknesses:

• Backup PG - another offseason saying this, we need long term stability here. Since Trae was drafted it has been a revolving door.
• Perimeter defense - hopefully a healthy Hunter and Reddish fixes that
• Rebounding

I would like to see what Nate's Full Offensive and Defensive philosophy looks like with this group, having an offseason and training camp to implement and work with the team.

Exactly. One could even make the argument that we have 4 potential stars. Trae obviously, Dre is the closest to reaching star status, there are reportedly some in the Hawks organization that feel Cam's potential is the highest on the team (even more than Trae), and then Onyeka is a potential top 30 NBA player. 

[Sothron]

There's maybe six players in the NBA that I would be fine doing the 3 for 1 kinda scenario in a trade. We're not getting those players unless KAT or some other superstar tells their team they want to go to Atlanta.

I truly feel if this team was healthy in the playoffs we win a ring THIS YEAR. NOW. That's how close we are. Hunter and Reddish healthy fix our wing defense problems. Nate has the luxury of rotating Bogi/Kevin/Cam/Hunter in and out as the 2 and 3. We even have a good young big man to back up Capela.

There's no way outside of a superstar I'm trading Hunter or Reddish. I truly think Hunter is a healthy season away from being on Kawhi's level. Cam could be a HOF if he taps out his potential. Why in the name of God would we just give up on all this talent and chemistry? 

For Bradley Beal?? He's a solid All Star player but not a superstar. He is no different on defense than Bogi. When Bogi is healthy he's at best an average defender. Beal is no better. He's a better player than Bogi, sure, but not on defense. And the price to get him would be gutting our team. 

Hell no to that.

Those idiots on realgm are just showing me why I shouldn't waste my time posting there. You got some ignorant Bucks troll that's now on an agenda against the Hawks and me personally and random idiots that think the Hawks are a fluke. Or, like this, we should give up our entire team for a guy like Beal.

So I just got a board warning on realgm for jokingly calling the Bucks the "Yucks". 

Like, seriously, I got a warning for making a joke with another team's name. I didn't even go for the easy word that rhymes with Bucks! 

Wow. I knew realgm was a cesspit but I didn't know it had gotten this terrible.
