Hawks looking to trade

Well, you have to start from the fact that OG's numbers are much better than Dejounte's:

Then you have to factor economics into the situation.  OG is an UFA who you will have to pay a lot more for in FA and who could possibly walk.  Since DM costs a lot less and is under contract for 4 years, he must be worth less. 

Therefore, when you add it all up the return on trading OG >> DJ.

What OG numbers are better? And how does DJM being under contract for 4 years make him worth less than a UFA that you will have to overpay for? Did you just troll us?

I am HIM Sothron lol jk. But thank you for the corroboration. I don't even think my source follows these message boards and he certainly didn't tell me to keep this under wraps.

My two Hawks sources are livid, honestly, that some of this is getting out. I'm not asking you to keep it private but personally I'm sitting here like the Pulp Fiction meme where Vincent is looking around when I'm told to keep things private and other people are like naw, fam tell everyone

Man I want yall to have the same source but they're telling one of yall to keep it hush but the other one to let it all out.

When did he decide this?

The offseason.

10, 20, 30 games in?

About a month into this season is when he had a meeting with the FO about the roster. The talk about the team wants to rebuild around Trae and JJ started from that conversation. 

If Quin was our coach at the time that trade for DJM would never have took place.

Damn I don’t know if I’m more pissed off about these trade rumors with the hawks or the fact that the falcons are getting ready to hire the legendary coach who embarrassed us in the superbowl.

I can't imagine how that job interview would go....

Falcons: "So, tell us about a time in which the odds were against you and you overcame them, and how you overcame them"

LOL.  Exactly.   Why can't we pull a trade like this.   And for that matter why didn't we trade for OG.   Knicks just casually grab OG.  They gave up two good players to do it though and Toronto also got better.   Meanwhile we're sending out the 'hottest' trade prospect in the leage for 5ppg guys and picks in the next decade.  geezus

Now this is comedy gold.  So many layers.

Speaking of layers and comedy, I had a an eggcellent joke about Bawb being the source, and *ahem* the Watergate source, and a random night in the 70's.  But it was so over the line, it made me blush so I chose not to post. 

  Probably a good idea.  Nobody's called me deep throat since..... 

Heeey, come on, man. 

[Sothron]

Tony Ressler did lasting harm to the franchise by refusing the pay the LT. Year in and year out. They traded away two starters for practically nothing in back to back seasons. The other teams took notice. Once you get the reputation of being cheap and handing away players...that is hard to shake. 

There's a reason teams feel comfortable giving out bad trade offers to the Hawks. It will take the Hawks actually paying the LT under Ressler frankly for this stigma to go away.

Deest gif game strong all day. Love it.

Chris Haynes had a quote circling on twitter about Trae wanting to play for a contender and he hopes this trade can help them do that. 

the internal pressure has reached the media. Imagine a trade request will come soon maybe as early as the summer. He’s gonna find a way to get to San Antonio and hawks will finally rebuild like they should

I don't think that's true...Minny for the first time are atop the standings, anyone thinking they're making a trade at the deadline is delusional.

I agree but there was a bunch of talk about it.
