"Surprised if Teague Doesn't End Up in Utah"

I will be honest though I thought about AB on another team and it made me sad so I'd be mixed if he was the one moved.

There is no god damned way they get Hood for Teague. Hood will lead the team in scoring in the future.
 
Nope it is like saying we have Hassan Whiteside and Gobert. I'm talking about redundancies in skill sets. If you are for moving Alec Burks who does things that no one else is doing then that would be like your example with Gobert and Lyles.

Go back in time to when Demare Carrol was outplaying Hayward. Same scenario sooner or later we are going to have to make a choice with all of our players. Imagine where we would be if we kept Carrol...I think the exact same maybe better off.

There have been plenty of players that have been invited to USA basketball that haven't made the team that are just good players. I'm not saying Hayward isn't good. I'm saying he is Carlos Boozer that he is not what we are making him to be. On another team he will just be another role player. Meanwhile we have people trying to move Hoods or Burks who are players that haven't come close to hitting their ceilings.

That's like saying trade Rudy Gobert because Trey Lyles is the future. Or like saying trade Michael Jordan because Scotia Pippin is the future.

Why can't we have both?

btw, nobody is on the same page with you about Hayward being a scrub. Why do you think he gets invites to USA basketball? How do you explain him actually being a good player? He can't be a scrub and a good player. When he's on the court he plays good. How do you explain that?

Then the GSWarriors better jump on trading Curry. Thompson makes him redundant.

He will be less valuable at next years deadline. We shouldn't spend on a guy we intend to trade for less in a year.

Yes, less. But what's a playoff push this year + playoff position next year up to the deadline (or beyond) worth to you? This core needs to feel legitimacy together. Soon.

I love the people who say we don't want to rent a guy for a year and a half... Most contracts are 4 years long now he's got 35-40% of his useful life left on that contract. Also, what if Dante isn't good and we resigned Teague because we wanted someone good... Also what if he doesn't go for crazy money in 2017 and stays even though Dante is playing well?

If the price is right we do it. Hawks have lost fairly badly on their more recent trades... Those are the teams you look to do business with. Start with Burke, a 1st rounder and cap fodder and move the discussions from there. I think Teague would do well here... Doesn't make us a title contender but you can't base that as the reason not to do a trade... Getting Teague moves the needle for us substantially for the next two years.

Actually most contracts are now 3 years long.
 
$ 8 Million, on an expiring deal, for a guy who can absolutely prop up a bench for a contender.





...If it comes to dealing Teague in a year... I think we could get a late-late first out of it. That's not nothing.

Yeah, but if Atlanta really wants to trade him and no one is putting up the assets, they might lower their price. It's only going to be less lucrative (in all likelihood) to trade him next year when he will just be a half a year, or 1 year rental.

I hear Tibor Pleiss and a second rounder are available.
 
What does Burks do that no one else can exactly?

Make really cool layups?

It's not get to the FT line, because Hayward has shown to be one of the better players in the league at getting to the FT line (while Burks can do that too, and possibly better than Hayward, it's not a skill unique to Burks on this team).

The only thing I can really say on Burks is that he can score out of an ugly offensive set and doesnt need a system. So when the rest of the team looks like ****, Burks can still score. But I'd rather have a team that can consistently run good offense, like Hayward and Hood can provide, and that consistency would increase with a PG like Teague.
 
And Atlanta does have a need for a guy like Burks.

They dont have any wings who can get to the rim and draw fouls. Hell, if they trade Teague they dont have anyone besides Sap who can get to the FT line consistently.
