So short answer is hell yes, you and others I got a list here. I just took @SalvorMallow off though cuz cool

His track record of staying healthy is abysmal

Games played over the last 4 seasons

19-20 season - 24

20-21 season - 61

21-22 season - ZERO

22-23 season - 29

Fax.

People, at one point last year, Zion and Lebron had missed the same total career games to injury. 

Only, lebron had played 20 years to Zion's 4.  Let that sink in. 

It's not nothing.  And it's not 'just' him tryna leave NOP.

Gun to your heads guys, would you do:

Hunter, Bufkin, Patty Mills for Siakam (no draft capital)

And Siakam agrees to extend and trade.

Yes.

I think Siakam will end up in Sacramento. Kings are finally relevant and will go for a big trade to stay that way.

OG to the Hawks. 

What would you be willing to trade for him as an upcoming UFA? How much will you pay him in the offseason to keep him? His 30% max starts at $42 million in year 1.

Who would you waive for Nathan Knight?

 

 

I would waive Julian, of the ATL Dancers

 

Nothing personal.  But it'll open up a roster spot for Nathan on the dance team.

Siakam or bust!

I'm tired of other teams getting talented players, but Hawks fans talking themselves out of one because he may have a few flaws.

And it happens every single time.

 

A Siakam trade does not concern me, because more than likely this team is going to have to be busted up again, just to get the right balance in here.

To me, it's a win - win.

 

If we trade for Siakam, and he works out wonderfully and leads to a deep playoff run, the Hawks SHOULD sign him to a big deal.  That's the type of player you go into the tax for.

If we trade for Siakam, and he turns out to be meh, leading to another play-in / 1st round exit, you let him walk and use the cap room to retool the roster.

Give me this level of a player on the front line all day.

Trae - DJ - and JJ are off limits

Everyone else is on the block.

 

Pull the damn trigger Landry.

I think Trae should be on the block.

He can't defend and the DJ-Trae pairing is too small. We keep on gettimg torched defensively.

I’m ditching DM if I am choosing between them and not hesitating.  Don’t think he will be remembered 15 years from now except by NBA die hards.

Trae has been much better defensively than Murray.  The "Trae can't defend" stuff is stale.

We're getting torched defensively because our frontcourt can't defend or rebound.

At least Trae and DJ can double up what they give up on the defensive end, with good to great offense.

That is something that our frontcourt can't say.

I'm really nervous about Siakim's terrible 3pt shooting, hes shooting 21%(!!!) this season. If we trade Hunter for Siakim, we are going to have very poor spacing with he and Capella being complete non-shooters. I feel like this trade would make the game harder for Trae and Murray on many of our current actions since Siakim's defender will be able to sag way off of him.

Same here.

i don’t mind a Siakam deal but I’m not sure we are trading away the right player.

im sure I’m alone on this but I think Murray should be the player traded. We are too worried about positional basketball when we really only need to be worried about how we are going to win.

The only positions that matter is PG and Center.

SG, SF, PF are all interchangeable in this new nba era.

 

i don’t hate Murray by any means….i just think with us having such a small back court the only way it’s going to work is if we have a very long and physical front court so we can really have an advantage of a Trae & Murray backcourt.

I don't hate it if they are both committed to resigning. Will OO step up as the starting center? I'd love him to get more comfy with the 3 point shot.

We would have to pick up a center with the MLE or TPE. Any you have in mind? I wish we could get Zubac with the TPE.

The better question is will Messy Ressy pay up? These are the salaries for these guys next season.

Trae - $43

DJ - $25

OG - $42

Pascal - $42

OO - $14 mil

Bogi - $17 mil

That's $183 mil next season for 6 players.

I'd do it whether they re-sign or not.  Flush the system and reboot the frontcourt if they walk.  Even if it's cheap guys, so what.   Atleast you know they gonna work at the defensive end. 

And not bumfumble easy assist opportunities all game....

My only untouchables at this point are Trae and JJ. 

I'm convinced that the Trae & DJM backcourt isn't going to work so I'm *regrettably* okay trading DJM for the right price.

We have to make the most of our FRP this year before SAS controls our next 3. If that means shedding good players to maximize that FRP (DJM, Dre, and Cap), I'm okay with that. Maybe we get lucky in the lotto and shed some salary along the way to get a guy like Nick Claxton in free agency. Maybe DeRozan has 3 good years left or PG13 or Kawhi opt out. Give me a good draft pick and flexibility in free agency to try and right this ship in the off season before we have to pay up to SAS. Only really need a 3 year run out of these guys.

I wouldn't mind Trae, OG, JJ, maybe OO and go into the draft with a good pick and free agency with some money to spend.
