[NBASupes]

Just a FYI, Bogi will likely be traded next offseason during the draft as Atlanta will be over the 2nd apron.

Bey and JJ are the primary targets. Capela is going to a 3rd team. Minnesota wants to slower the cap for 2024-25 as they are extremely hard capped next year. 

I gotta admit I would be thrilled if that is all we gave up. KAT can replace the offense provided by all 3 pretty easily. I would just be worried about the defense, but Capela is the only good defender being lost and OO is taking his spot.

Yeah, what is going out is what I really meant.  If we only give up Capela, Gay, Bey, and JJ, this will be a great deal for the Hawks.  I expect at least one or two firsts will be included, though.

Appreciate you and the other in(out?)siders for providing good basketball distractions while the Hawks are away.

Feels wild that not only did we manage to draft a home grown SUPERstar, but we can potentially add another all-nba player to the team under contract AFTER an all star forced a trade to ATL.

Nice being on the come up  

[NBASupes]

The picks are what they are primarily targeting but Bey is their primary target player as well as JJ. They been wanting Bey and they really love JJ. 

I was shocked that NY wasn't in it but they are waiting for Embiid. That's their top target.

I saw him liking a couple tweets alluding to that too. Why would he leave money on the table?

The contracts for Ant and Jaden will be massive. Force their hand. They just want cheaper fits and premium draft picks. Bey is their guy is what I was told.

[GameTime]

So i'm guessing Murray took a "Heat Big 3 " paycut for this to happen? Exciting stuff.

Is Houston getting Capella

He doesn't want to be traded and he wants to stick as Atlanta building a contender.

They are one of the teams mentioned. It's gonna be a lot cheaper than it was during the draft. I am told the 3rd team must take on Gay and provide cap relief to Minnesota. Meaning a contract that can't go over this season or cap space period. I am hearing multiple 2nds but no 1sts which is why a lot of teams are interested. Houston does have the relationship with the Hawks that will benefit them.

[LarsV8]

We don't have many tradable contracts except KPJ. 

Unless it gets rolled into the existing Dillon Brooks 5 team mega sign and trade. lol

I think it's the ability to take on Capela and Gay. If Atlanta adds this to the JC deal, money doesn't have to equal.

Same reason IT and Demarcus Cousins wish they had.

We don’t have the picks to trade. And you said Capela will likely fetch 2nd rounders. So where are the premium draft picks coming from?

Us. 2024, we still got. 2030, we still got. A part of that is they want Gay attached to him and his trade market was better before the draft.
