Hawkish Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 2 minutes ago, REHawksFan said: Agreed. And I'll also say, it should surprise NO ONE that other teams call and want to inquire about Trae. He's uber talented and highly marketable. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that other teams were the ones leaking to the media that the Hawks might trade Trae back in the season. This idea that "no one wants to play with Trae" is just idiotic on its face. This approach makes me chuckle. These adult dudes are like elementary school gossip starters. These are people that need to be sent to Mars first and tell them we will be there shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know the price may not be as steep as once thought. As for the Trae bit.....I'll just say I'll believe the Hawks trade Trae without him demanding a trade when I see it. You never say never in the NBA because this is a business above all else, but the business aspect is precisely why I don't see Ressler signing off on a Trae trade. He brings in too much money and is too popular as the face of the franchise. Why would Ressler choose to give that up? Not to mention the fact that the return for super star players is never equal value. I just don't see it. Yeah, I don't think ownership wants empty seats regardless of what I or others think of Trae on the court. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleachkit Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Not trying to be debbie downer, but if a KAT trade was imminent, there would be some inkling in the media. I'll own up to it if I'm wrong, but I'm highly skeptical we are on the precipice of a KAT trade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there, Sothron. We will hold down the fort. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media narratives are from the other teams involved 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 7, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Just now, JeffS17 said: The reason they want Trae is the reason Ressler should want to keep him, not necessarily as fans. We'll see if the chemistry is there on the court come October -- I don't care how many jerseys we sell. I just want the best chance to win. Trae is definitely historic already. But he has to be a revenue cow. It's hard to pull the trigger on that if I'm the owner. I read Carefully what Camp said, he said for a Major star. I would say only for players like Tatum or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be truth in both. I wouldn't expect legacy media to have the upper hand on info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSays Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Put a fork in it. Even if nothing else big happens this summer, it's pretty clear our front office wants a 3rd superstar and when one becomes available, we are well positioned with young talent to be at the front of that line. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that bit in the tweet is a face saving move by the poster. He knows it was junk so he's giving himself a way out with the Siakam wouldn't resign in Atlanta. Players don't turn down max/near max offers on what would a top 4 team. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Canadan guy from Canadan BSPN was on nbaradio yesterday. In explaining the rift between TOR's old and young players, he basically said Siakim wants out of TOR. Not sure how that fits what Stein and others are reporting but ... there's that. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalen on the bench and next to lineups where Kat is center would be amazing. I would rather trade Jalen than either Okongwu and AJ, and one has to be included in the deal. Okongwu and KAT is a dream pair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
