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

They recouped a first round pick along with some players.  Thats a win.

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

This puts us at 13 players (assuming everyone stays) and right at $151 million in salary (a smidge over the tax line).

Feels obvious that's the only reason we make this move.  Bogi's contact is a nightmare for our cap space now that we brought on Murray, so I wonder how we will deal with that this offseason or in the coming ones.

AJ Griffin might actually play his rookie year. I'm gonna miss you Kev!

Crazy to me that Huerter couldn't bring back some better players.   Are they even staying with the Hawks?

Holiday and Mo are scrubs. Having them on your roster is a negative.

I suppose Harkless was ok for Portland in like 2015, but that was a long time ago.

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

Travis still makes all final personnel decisions. Fields even says so.

Maybe its about the first round draft pick they recouped.

The other Holiday is probably unavailable.

I hate to see the "Red Mamba" go. The trade isn't that bad for me because I knew Bogi or him had to be moved after the acquisition of Murray. Justin Holiday played well last year and is a good defender. My only concern like someone said earlier is the perimeter shooting. I hope the "Red Mamba" does well except for when he plays us. 

Keep up the good work, Tony, Travis, and Landry.

Weren't they all together some years back? Who was it.. I forget. It is a good luck charm to collect the Holiday's.. kinda like unlocking a bonus level on the NBA FO game.

Harkless is eh. Holiday is actually a decent 3-D player that can guard 1-3. Don't have him touching the ball anywhere else but spot up 3's though.

Will have to see next move to judge this one.  Think it is 2024 lotto protected pick, top 12 in 2025, top 10 in 2026.

Why do I even bother posting Cap information.  The Ayton trade would increase our Cap by $11 million.  We are currently $6 million from the Apron and need 2 more players (min 2 mil each).  Basically we'd have to clear $10 million in salary now to get Ayton. Its not happening without dumping Bogi or JC as well.
