Hawks looking to trade

[JeffS17]

Something I haven't really seen at all, probably because the Cavs have been doing reasonably well, is Mobley availability.  I wish we could make a run for him in any DJ trade.  I wouldn't hate Allen either.  The Cavs have pretty big spacing issues with both of them on the court, so I do feel like it makes sense for them to move on from one of them, and it would strengthen their guard rotations by a lot.  That team never comes up in trade rumors though.

It will be a tank for sure but if Quin is that guy. He could turn us into a winner with less. 

Trae/Booker swap is still the best thing I've seen in terms of straight up player trades.  I genuinely think Trae could fix his attitude problems playing with a vet like KD.

He’s horrid and I’ve always hated his game.

He played for us a few years ago?

Every year, it's a lock this trade will happen, then it gets close and nope, they don't like the return value, but this guy might be moved, nope, they don't like the return value, etc

I wouldn't say a 'lock' since IT'S ALL speculation....but the constant 'half the team on the block' is tiresome.

Tony will never do this because he loves money 

But this is what I'll do with the Hawks to restock

Trade Trae 

Clint 

Wes

For

Ausar

Bogey

Wiseman

2024 Pistons pick swap with Atlanta. Atlanta gets most favorable 

2026 and 28, 1st unprotected

Draft Reed Sheppard 

Trade Murray for some of our picks in the summer to SA

  

I’ll try to stay nice, but

Trade Trae and Clint for essentially Ausar and picks, none of whom are guaranteed to be as good or Trae and CC. 
Wiseman is trash and BB’s age doesn’t fit the timeline for this team after the trade. 
Then we sit around for three or four years as the picks cook before we even find out how they’ll turn out. No thank you.

I'm glad you found the words to respond in a 'coherent' manner. I couldn't.

Hearing something with DJM is very very close. Can't get into specifics and it could change after they make some calls for final offers.

I really don't want Andrew Wiggins. I went through the Wiggins Experience in Minnesota before. One good to great game, three average to  bad games and the cycle repeats. No thanks. 

Agreed

Good Wiggins

 

Bad Wiggins

Might be a toss up between him and our last reclamation project, Kevin Knox.  Bagley ain't it.  But agree with @georgia in that he always looks good against us.  Just know it's fools gold (not calling you a fool, GA) and kinda shows why we're looking to overhaul our frontcourt and add beef. 

Bagley is much better than Knox.  Any minute with Knox on the floor is wasted time.  Bagley is a bust relative to his draft position and is fools gold for sure if you consider him a starter based on the number of starts he has gotten.  But I think he is better by a large margin than Knox and has value as part of a rotation or as an injury replacement (moreso if someone can get more out of him).  He should be viewed as an 8-10 rotation kind of guy whereas Knox is lucky to be getting minutes anywhere.

I'd take REaves on his contract in a heartbeat, but pretty sure the Lakers wouldn't move him. 

Have you seen him play Defense? No thanks.. Hawks dont need anymore horrible defenders..

[theheroatl]

Could we get Lauri Markkanen for Murray?

This just represents sanity from our front office.  There is no burning fire need to unload Murray.  You trade him when you have an offer that makes sense.  And you  have plenty of time to explore that before the trade deadline.  If the value isn't there, hold until the offseason when more teams will have the flexibility to make a move for him.

He has real value and that is enhanced by his contract.  He is the most attractive player we've offered up in a trade for a long time.  Make the most of it.

Update: It might be Clint not DJM

[hylndr11]

For dj may be GS, word out there Steph is pushing for moves to be made like really pushing, he is pissed.  Nothing obviously super valuable with them player wise though for us.  May be a 3 way they could pull something plus 1 of there good picks

Would also like to clarify think the deal is close to be agreed upon but it can't legally happen till Monday. You guys can make the assumptions what that means.

Haha, at ease, soldier.  Mr. Mikey is an outsider (sleeper agent)... shhhhh ...

The team would like to get back a good PF and slide Jalen to the 3. The team would like to get bigger (like 10lbs/2 inches per position) and that starts with Jalen over Dre. The interesting name I heard (and I heard several) was Marvin Bagley at the 4 next to Jalen. They think that's the kind of size/fit they'd like and they think Trae can bring out the best in a player like Bagley.

The team would be willing to slide BB back into the starting lineup at the 2 if the return on DJ is good.

The team would like to move on from Clint for a bigger, longer Center with potential. They would be willing to play OO at the center until the big center develops.

I'd be very surprised if we don't acquire an enforcer.

Trae/Caruso/JJ/Lauri/Claxton

We don’t have the assets now to make this happen, but if you unload DJM, Dre, and Cap…maybe…just maybe we would. Get enough cap space and just sign Claxton over the summer as an UFA.

This would be the perfect lineup around Trae imo with guys who are rumored to be available - size, shooting, and defense. This lineup has it all.

I hope it’s Herbert Jones but I fear it will be Rui Hachimura.
