I don't think Ben Simmons wants to play basketball anymore

It's either that or his body won't allow him to play basketball anymore.  Either way, he should be viewed as a $60M sunk cost at this point.

I was told DJ was out due to likely trade happening to avoid injury.

I hope so- curious to see for what.    I really like him but this just hasn’t worked.   Of course I’m not sure what will work either after watching the end of the game tonight

It's a shame he went the "I'm going to openly defy my coach" route. Unprofessional and disappointing.

As I told others, Murray isn't going to be moved within league circles during the trade deadline. Nor will Capela or Hunter. 

Bey will likely be moved to a contender for a 1st and there are a lot of suitors. It's all about the quality is what I was told. 

Don't expect many moves, Atlanta wants to upgrade the bench for the run to stay in the play-in game. I am told Garrison and Mills are both the two who are being primarily shopped as they are both expiring. The hawks are willing to move 2nds as well. I am told, the Hawks aren't looking to add addition years so these additions are vet rentals at best. 

I was told, the Hawks don't mind keeping Bey but the interest around the league is high on him.

Hope this is what is going on. I would much rather wait until the offseason to swing for targets like KAT than take poo poo deals like the Lakers are offering.

While I agree, I contend that the Hawks will not get KAT.  I just don't see this FO being competent enough to pull it off considering we don't know what the vision is for this team.  I've heard the hypothetical thoughts and they SOUND good. But the Hawks are always the bridesmaids...never the bride.  I guess we will see.  I think this is who we add:

Any other players out due to "hamstring" "soreness"? 

 

Not hamstring but out due to millennial sickness. (That’s me being sick of millennials) 

 

Can I get traded for that?

Oh man, I wish you could listen to kg02(17yo) and kg03 (16yo) and their friends hang out.  It's annoying AF!  And my kids are tame by comparison to their peers.

Im gonna be honest with you guys I had one person tell me hes being traded to a mystery team and thats why he was out and then other tell me that sat him cause of what he did the game prior. I got no clue whats going on with this situation right now.

A little of column A, a little of column B?

[Vol4ever]

I will believe a trade when I see it.   I have been told so much stuff that I.............heck I don't know what to say.  I was told some stuff during the game that don't match up.  Makes no sense to discuss it because it been hashed and re-hashed here.

Part of my thought is that I think we will still be able to get a 2029 pick for him if that is the best offer we are looking at right now and if we get it after taking out shot and failing next offseason that really doesn't hurt us at all.  So there isn't a ton of downside risk if we wait and take a big swing but a pretty huge upside if Landry is able to pull that off.

[Spud2nique]

Can we fire Landry and hire Brad Holmes ? I mean I realize he’s a football guy but he has passion while Landry might not have a heartbeat.  

 

Hawks organization screwed up twice big time. 
 

1. Lloyd 

2. Landry

 

The lazy killer L’s.
