This is exhausting.  Simmons doesn't make sense unless you keep John and give up Capela and Bogi or make something work with Ayton and give capela, jc, and huerter.

I could definitely see a situation where

Capela, JC, Huerter -> OUT

Ayton, Simmons -> In

Idk if money works, but the players and their situations make sense

There is no Ayton if there is Simmons. Hard capped like a mug with Simmons.

Whoever said Trae gets what he wants isn't lying. 

Good cause Trae wants a championship.

Too much salary in for the Hawks vs how much they send out and we still have the issue of the Hard cap with any SnT with Ayton.

Outside of the rookie contract crew, Bogi might be the only one safe and that's cause teams want a 1st for him.

The idea of Simmons is so ridiculous now that we have Murray. 
 

And what about OO? If we’re so high on him, how’s that going to work?

It actually works way better than Capela and Simmons.

I would hope so because Capela and Simmons would be a disaster.

Yes, we really missed Solo after trading him

SO supes is saying we're trading Capela for Simmons.... suspect Huerter in too to match salaries. 

Makes sense from a Trae perspective.... only way you're gonna trade his boy CC away is bring in his other boy Ben. 

If we do get Simmons  by trading CC/Kev,  we have to flip Collins for a versatile big.

Turner and Vucevic ring a bell. Both on 1yr expiring deals.

Ben gaining 50lbs and going to play center

Actually this is the only way I’d like Ben with the Hawks. He could play center better than JC and even possibly Clint. Ben at the four with CC I don’t like b/c then you got 2 who won’t ever even attempt a 3 and one in Murray who needs to improve. 
This is why I’m hoping somehow Ayton can still find his way here. People were so high on Ayton coming out of college b/c he’s huge and could hit three’s. He still has untapped potential there and he can create his own shot. And still has room to grow and he’d balance out our inside outside shot creation. But then KD had to ask for a trade. Maybe we can still get in a three team trade where Ayton comes here. Rather have him over Ben.

Oh and people been talking ish about Ayton’s D but he rated at the 13th best defensive player in the league last year.

Does the same rookie contract rule that prevents Simmons and Bam from playing together also prevent Trae and Bam from playing together?

Can have two Designated players only 1 can be from a trade. We're good.

[jy23]

Ok I’m lost….we’re trading for Ben but Collins is still on the roster. Ok so what the hell kind of lineup are we planning on playing? Or will Collins be moved in another trade to be made later? Bc if this is it I’m confused as hell

@warcore 

From what I got, it's one of Kevin or Clint and JC. I am pretty sure all three will be moved.
