Speaking of Bol, he's on the list of all time hawksquawk legends now.  Guys folks kept claiming were great but who weren't.  Christian Wood is on the list too.

There were rumors about Hawks/Detroit trade rumors at the deadline regarding Murray. Possibility of this being revisted ?

@Sothron @thecampster @NBASupes @Mikey @Vol4ever

I also thought Detroit was interested in Hunter.  They have cap room which looks like they're aiming for Tobias Harris with it.  Would they trade us Grimes and a future protected FRP for Hunter?  We'd keep salary relief, a future pick and an expiring 3&D wing.

We are mid playoffs. No information that comes out now should be trusted. Teams won't know what they're willing to do until they know who is available.

"We" 😭

Haven’t heard anything as such. They’ve been interested in Hunter in the past. Might be a spot for him. Suspect most of their cap will be used via trades. Though they are heavily linked to tobias Harris so maybe not

12 contracts + 10th pick and we're 32 million over the cap. If we do anything, it will be through exceptions and trades (rules apply).

If I’m not mistaken, we can’t combine the TPE with another salary to take back more salary.  I’m not sure how we can legitimately use the TPE when we don’t have many picks to trade.

This has always been my question. How exactly do we get another team to send us a $20M player that is worth having? We still need to send them something. And we don't have picks. So what?

It’s like they never intended to use the TPE to add salary.

Again, doesn't need to be only one $20 mil players.

Example, THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE: LAC is in LT hell. PJ Tucker has a 1 year $11 mil contract they might want to move since he's not in their rotation, Hawks take him plus LAC sends us 2024 2nd #46 and a future 2nd. LAC gets savings and an $11 mil TPE, Hawks get some toughness and vet in the front court. Hawks have $12 mil of the TPE left.

Target teams that are close to the 1st Apron and/or close to or over the 2nd Apron and looking for savings, or have FAs they can't/won't resign...SnT so they get a TPE and fake second.

How bout this? And we throw in a 2nd to the Bucks in 2028.

 

Hawks get:  Portis + Pat Connaughton 

Bucks get:  Capela + 2028 2nd round pick


Pg- Trae

Sg- trade DJ in another package (defensive 2 guard; Herb Jones type)/ Bogi

SF- JJ

PF- Bobby Portis

C- OO

I like it, but why would the Bucks. They still have BroLo. Both Portis and Pat have player options in 2025-26, so maybe it's a preemptive move by Bucks to get CC's expiring and clear their salary in 2025-26.

But this is a good example of the TPE use. Hawks take both Portis and Pat at $21 million into the JC TPE. Then by trading CC, we generate a new TPE $22 mil TPE which will now expire in 1 year.

Here's another example after watching Cavs play without their double big lineup.

They decide they want to scrap their double big lineup. They need a big SF, we send Hunter. Or maybe it's CC as they may like his expiring contract.

Allen into the JC TPE, create a new Dre/CC TPE.

The other missed thought here is that 5 of our 6 most expensive players are signed through 27 or 28.  This is your roster barring major trades.  If 5 of 6 put you over the cap for 3 years, you're going to need trade partners or you won't improve. Other teams know this about us.
