Hawks looking to trade

I'm not going all prisoner of the moment on this team after a 4 game stretch when we have a 1.5+ season sample size that shows this roster is terribly flawed. Plus, we've given up 73 and 60 point games in the last week...yikes. We don't need to stand pat. We need to try and keep improving the roster.

I hope we make a play for defense by the deadline and and if Bey and Cap aren't in our plans after this season....get something for them.

Excellent post.

True.  Sadly capela injury is a killer.

Yes. But I’m really looking forward to a Trae/DJM/Hunter/JJ/OO starting 5 and some Bruno minutes.

Nah, Bruno is unplayable if we're being honest.  Sad/true.

Can't speak to this season, of course, but in the past, when given consistent minutes, he's played, not just good enough, but well.

Only time in his still young career that he got double-digit minutes per game was last year in HOU, and the guy put up a .111 WS/48.

If we're honest? That's strong.

This checks my first box...I like it. Claxton is also someone I have my eye on that I believe would be an ideal fit this deadline.

I'm guessing a Griffin for Grimes swap?

Grimes for AJ makes a lot of sense for both teams.

What is the rationale from a Knicks perspective? Honest question.

Same reason why Pistons trades Bey, not interested in paying him this offseason.

Would we plan to pay him?

Good question.

Once Messy Ressly realize he's due to be paid, that might arrest all tha momentum.

This is exactly the swap being discussed. Grimes *as currently constructed* slides into the last rotational player taking all Garrison/Wes/Patty minutes

I’d be happy with this. 
I’d question how well AJ could thrive under Thibs, but I honestly hope he gets his stroke back on track wherever he goes.

They won't have to pay him this offseason. He can get to RFAcy like Bey did.

Soooo, is this the attempt to lower his value OR is it gonna be the excuse to move him for a spam sammich.

Smells like smoke to me.  And I don't mean like bbq smoke that makes you hungry.  I mean riding behind a hoopty with a oil leak smoke.  Ugh...

Murray is made of the right stuff and Quin and him are fine. There is issues with someone in the organization and Murray but that's due to that person being a dumbass with power and no, it's not a player in the org.

[ShooterSays]

Sounds just like something BKN would put out there to try and lower DJM’s value. He’d be perfect next to Bridges and they desperately need to add someone.

Otherwise, they’re better just blowing it up, but they won’t in that market.
