@NBASupes, nothing on the Nets and Simmons???

 

edit - just saw he’s part of their future and not available. Interesting. 

I was going to talk about it on Around the NBA but Brooklyn sees him as a part of their core with KD.

I don’t mean to sound like a victim here (as the Hawks franchise) but why is it that whenever we are peaking and need a legit star, there’s no big time stars? 
 

Lavine

Beal

And even Gobert, this is a weak FA/Trade market for us. 
 

Just seems every time we zig, the league is zaggin on us. 
 

End of rant. 

While I do think higher of Gobert than y'all do, yeah. Outside of Gobert, I don't believe personally that Beal or LaVine are stars. They are in the same range of Iso Joe when he was killing it for us when he had him to me. 

 

Top 25 player, not a star. All star level players. Backups in the all star game types.

 

Not a fan of LaVine like that but I get it. I do like Sexton as a 6th man and been liked him as that.

Can someone with some sauces (sources) speak on this?

Probably just a random twitter troll that shouldn't be trusted.

If these things are true, putting it on Twitter isn't helpful imho.

It's why I, and iirc you concurred, think these shld go in the sr member forum.

I would hate to lock it down but it only takes 500 posts to qualify as a senior member.

Now that I checked my post count. 500 sounds like a good number.

@Sothron, what would you make if the Hawks did end up getting Russell from the Wolves?

He’s definitely someone I’ve thought about as kind of a middle to upper-middle class kind of move for Atlanta. Not a big star, but he’s had some moments. How consistent is he?

He's a lesser version of Trae on offense, not as bad on defense but not a good defender. I can't imagine him being ok with being moved to a bench role this early in his career.

@AHF if not mistaken web content like we have on here is protected by copyright protection. I think an admin reporting the Twitter post for copyright infringement could get it taken down.

Supes has a habit of throwing in things that I was told not to repeat at all. I can't say what that was in his last post so don't try to guess but I agree with you. I'm told thing with the expectation that a few Hawks fans on this board see the information. Note that I don't really spread this information on other platform with a few exceptions.

That’s an awfully low number for us members that’s been around for 10+ years.

I think 800-1000 post should qualify you as a SR member but what the hell! I don’t make the rules around here.

Just so you all know @Sothron @NBASupes @thecampster I never spread your inside info on other platforms. I wouldn’t do that to you guys!

My only concern is people reposting it for some personal glory can bring unwanted attention. Sources are not always in the org but are often 3rd party org employees with connections to the org. The repost to Twitter is irresponsible and selfish.

Was gonna post that I need to make a lot of posts in a short time to get to the cutoff, but then I realized I’m at 533.   LOCK IT DOWN!      It’s probably Texas Cuck.

Seriously, good grief. What a doosh nozzle of a move. I scrolled through dudes twitter feed, and while he did eventually provide a link to the original post here, it should have never been available to him. Should definitely move these types of discussions with delicate info into the more secure area.
