Whew, that's a high price.  But, if you can convince him to sign an extension, you might have to pull the trigger.

I say it would take DJ and Bogi or OO depending on how the salaries match in the trade.

Ya know it would not shock me if Mitchell was open to coming to Atlanta to reunite with Synder and play with Trae.

wouldn’t shock me at all.

They won’t take DJ with Garland

 

DJ and OO is unappealing to them with their roster

It wouldn't shock me if we were a requested destination because of Quin.

IDK but our POA defense with Trae/Mitchell might be even worse than it was with Trae/Murray.. lol

My guess out of the three options I listed before:

We choose option #2. We keep Trae, we draft Sarr #1 and we move Murray to NO for BI. 

Team outlook:

Trae/Kobe

Bogi/Kobe

BI/Hunter

Jalen/Sarr/Gueye (sorry if I spelled it wrong)

OO/Sarr

 

In that scenario I can see the coaches at least trying a frontcourt of:

Sarr

Jalen

OO 

And based on matchups is where one player is listed at a position. Coaches usually consider your position what you guard so Jalen and Sarr would rotate on the wing while OO mans the center. It would gives us crazy length and switch ability on defense. Offense...it would be a problem but if Sarr can continue to develop his jumper like I think he can that could be a killer frontcourt combination...regardless of Ingram or Hunter. 

If that front court worked could see them trying to put BI at the 2 and the length would be bonkers.

This is where I’m settling in at. 
I think the DJM + Trae backcourt was a total fail, and just breaking that up will have a big positive impact. I honestly don’t think either of those guys are particularly mature, and neither should be leading a team. But Trae is a generational talent though and I’d rather have him. 
Just need to add some strong vet presence to our bench/locker room. If Miami can keep bringing back Haslem, maybe we should bring back Solo

Regarding BI: I get the concerns, and they’re valid. But I think there’s more of a chance he becomes a bigger positive impact than many expected. He was a very underrated player just a couple years ago, and I think Quin and Trae will unlock more of his talents that have been lacking of late. He’s a good buy low candidate. And if they resign him, I hope Landry works out a better than expected deal like he did with OO and DJM. 

I kind of like the option here and think it could surprise folks. Hopefully Trae included and gets everyone hyped about this team again. 

[phoostal]

You can incorporate a 3 team trade with NO to get the deal done with Cleveland getting BI, NO getting Murray and hawks getting Mitchell other parts would be involved but that is the base of the trade

[ShooterSays]

Yeah because the Trae + DJM pairing worked so well let’s go even smaller!
