My guy has talked around NBA circles of late

[NBASupes]

A lot of rumors going on right now and hardly anything around the Hawks. There is serious belief that Brooklyn and Philly won't agree on a deal. Brooklyn wants a lot of unprotected picks if Harden is moved for Simmons. It's not a match for match proposal. 

 

Atlanta tried to make moves but everything is a 70% on the dollar deal which they were willing to do for Reddish but not for the others. Don't expect any moves from Atlanta even though they want to do a deal but only the right deal. 

Atlanta has spoke to Toronto about Siakam and Dragic. If there is a massive move, it will be for one of those guys. JC is seen as a value player with a big contract at a position where those players are more common on the market. It's not the demand you would imagine honestly. Teams are looking for true centers more than JCs type of PF which is normal. We experienced the same with Millsap.

Thanks so much Supes for the update! Glad to hear ATL isn’t looking for anymore 70% value deals. We are so locked in right now and I think the players are fighting to keep this core together. Don’t trade just to trade!

But the on the other hand, if you are determined to win every trade like Ainge that can backfire as well.

This is likely the start of a dramatic trade deadline makeover for the Indiana roster. Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis are among key players who remain in trade talks.

Pretty good haul for Indiana! Let the blowup commence! This is a good trade for both sides.

If Ricky Rubio knee recovery goes well, maybe we can get him on the cheap this summer. He was balling before he got hurt.

Yea, this sums up my hesitancy for the Hawks to make moves. The best piece we can move right now is JC and as you noted we are never gonna get even equal value for a trade with him this year. Keeping him and his value contract make sense. Next year we can include Capella in a deal and I think that will open things up for us as far as possible deals.

I don't think he would be that much better than Wright tbh.

Let's lose the trade next year with Cap rather than give away the younger JC who is on a great contract for us. 

[sturt]

Let's just win a trophy with this group, and come back next year and win a second.

What do you say, Trae?

I think he's an ungrade running the offense. I doubt we resign Wright.

He's better at the Point that's for sure. But again, those are pretty few minutes as long as Trae is on the team. Wright can play SG (rubio can't) and he can knock down an open three (rubio at 32% for his career on threes). All in all I think overall value-wise it's similar. Rubio was having his best defensive season of his life but we would have to see if that knee injury at his age has an impact in his lateral movement coming back. 

PS I thought we had wright for one more season? If not than Rubio wouldn't be a bad replacement and he would probably come cheap.

Wright's contract is up this year.

That’s funny I got an ad on IG telling me that “the athletic” is saying Harden/Ben is possible.. 

You know what else is possible, aliens coming from a different planet and abducting  us all. That’s possible too.
