Kev is a reliable, but expensive, bench piece.  This isn't the end of the world but I want to know what comes next.  

Very true.. Kev is great and it's always good to see rookies grow but the log-jam at SG.. HAD TO BE ADDRESSED

Oh my god, poor Kev man... dude is the ultimate team guy and he's getting shipped to the worst franchise in the league.  I need to know the protections on that pick because they must be heavy for Sac to do it... if they are minimal protections, I like the trade.

No loyalty to anyone now...this can't be Schlenk making these moves.

Billy Knight.....you back in charge?

This is a very good move for Kevin. He will get ample playing time with the ball in his hands, freedom to shoot.

And I get to watch him build chemistry in warm ups with his teammates.  

I’m sad to see velvet go. 
 

Kings aren’t being the Kings this year. They are making good moves.

This must mean Bogi is staying.  I am happy about that

Damn not sure I like this trade.

Same. Kev has more value.

What kind of 1st rounder is it? Their own?

So this move saves Atlanta about $4 million this year and both players are expiring next year freeing them up for another move.  This also returns one of the picks in the Murray deal. Remembering 1 of those picks came in the Cam deal.

These guys are desperately trying to avoid the tax...forget about Simmons or Ayton!

I don’t wanna make the goodbye red velvet thread

But I still feel an overwhelming sadness overall.

This sucks and I wasn't even that high on Kev.   Just expected to get a better return.    

I know we're not done yet and i'm still high on the team and the move for Murray but i don't really want to hear that we're 'willing' to go into the LT.  I think they are doing everything in their power to avoid it.   Which is fine but don't say that you're not.

I've mentioned it before but Trae seems to really likes Bogi, and it's clear his influence is present in these decisions.  This can't be the last move we make though

[Hawkmoor]

I didn't know Landry Fields was promoted to GM.  The Hawks making moves everywhere.

[Spud2nique]

C- trade unless we are backing it up with another.

[Wurider05]

I don't like this move at all. Huerter was the one Hawk other than Trae who showed that he wasn't afraid of the big moment and could take his game to another level if needed. To me he proved this more than Collins--who always shrinked in the playoffs. How exactly does this make us better? Damn!!

[bird_dirt]

I think we all kind of realized one of Kev or Bog had to go. Kev was more likely to get us a frp, while bog could have cost us a pick.  
Not a great deal, but not unexpected. Especially given how it would be good to recoup some picks we gave away.

Homegrown one of ours indeed.

I can't.... I can't see through the wall of tears ....

[theheroatl]

Keep in mind it is *possible*  Sean Marks said... I like the OO, Hunter, and Collins but I need another FRP. 

That could have something to do with timing but that is just a hypothetical

[Sothron]

This was done to make another move possible. All I can say.

[DawsonsCreek]

It seems like more moves to come, like you guys said. Bogi played better. I think we've seen enough of Kevin and apparently the Hawks did too.
