Potential Trade Targets

It would be somewhat of a risk for sure….but if we can get out from under John’s contract that would be nice. I kinda balked at this idea earlier, but JC + their pick of Sexton/JC gets us close ish? They’ve been playing better. We can make up the difference with picks.

Consolidation trades almost never happen, so if you can, I think it’s a great opportunity.

Collins + Clarkson is about as much as I would go.

This is all hypothetical but yes Jake Fischer reported just two days ago that Atlanta is interested and almost dealt for him this summer.

Yeah, old rumor.

Atlanta is going to do nothing (maybe minor moves) then re-evaluate in the off-season when they have more options.

You’re moving the goalpost. The entire premise to this was you saying they wouldn’t take that deal when they absolutely would if it was available.

How am I moving the goalpost?

They arent going to do a deal that doesnt give them a win now fit around Trae Young. Them getting some pieces to swing a Siakim deal doesnt fit. Just because it was rumored this summer they were looking into it doesnt mean they want it to happen, just means they looked into it.
 
Hawks are currently 13-19 and Cy thinks they gotta act like they got Lebron on the team.
 
Also hilarious to talk about how overrated Murray is and simultaneously think Hawks wouldn't accept an egregious overpay because its the wrong type of currency.

Yeah that is the price I was pitching. I would try and sub Ochai in for picks. I would want to buy super low if I was doing it.

There are very few trades between two teams directly that are win-now moves. OG/IQ deal was fairly rare. Normally draft comp, young players, are required from one team even if they are a third team.... but sure... I'm the one doing 2k stuff.

The reality is Atlanta is the 11th seed in the East... they are 5 games out of the top 6. Utah is 4.5 games out of the top 6. You tell me who is in win-now mode?

Yeah, that's why they arent going to do a deal now.

They will make the play in. Johnson is healthy again and they will probably go on a mini run at some point.

They will re-evaluate in the off-season and see what they can do (they could easily pivot off Youg). There is going to be a lot of movement in the off-season and their will be more options. It would have to be a mind-blowing deal to do a straight up asset grab that doesnt help you win now.
