Trade deadline discussion

****ing bananas.

Figure it out, Ainge. I think the fit would be awesome, and if it’s not, at least he’s young and still tradable.

I agree. Make him a priority. If people are really worried about Don, I think adding his buddy John is a good call. Regardless, he's a relevant player for the next 5 years.

Royce is a starter... we can give a distant first or use Bogey to get a first... that's a pretty reasonable price. I'm guessing he gets moved this trade deadline.

Bojan seems to fit the mold of guys that Atlanta likes. He's an upgrade over Gallinari. But the pick though...

Give em Bogey and Royce... tell them Royce is worth a first. Royce is kinda perfect for Trae. Stand in the corner and shoot threes when I decide its your turn. He's cost controlled for a few years.

Getting the first is kinda hard.

I wouldn't trade Royce. Once we lose a Royce, we are going to be talking about needing a Royce. He's fairly paid just playing too many minutes.

I think getting a young dude that could realistically get 20/10 on good efficiency with a block and shoot 40% from three (he’s basically been that for a few years, being frozen out of the offense notwithstanding) is worth figuring it out.

I think a getting young dude that could very realistically get 20/10 with a block and shoot 40% from three is worth figuring it out.

Exactly. Especially at that price.

I also think it bodes VERY well for him that Hawks fans are up in arms about the topic and do not understand why their team is dangling him for seemingly so little.

Some information on John Collins

RUMOR: Hawks' Trade Demands For John Collins, Revealed

The Atlanta Hawks are looking for a starting player and a first-round pick in return for John Collins if they decide to trade him...

clutchpoints.com

One team contacted by Atlanta regarding Collins told Bleacher Report the Hawks were only seeking a valuable first-round pick and a starting-caliber player in exchange for the talented young forward.

I wouldn't be against trading Bogey for JC, but with Bogey hobbled I doubt the Hawks are going to be super high on that kind of deal.

You can find those guys though. We might already have a half-decent replacement on the roster on a 10-day. Then there’s the possibility of dropping pick protections on the Favors/OKC pick and getting Kenny Hustle.

True. I just don't think you get much value for Royce in a trade especially on an Atlanta team languishing on the edge of the playoffs and has a few wings already.

I think we should be concentrating on how to get that "valuable pick" and attaching it to Bojan.

Whatever works, honestly. Don, Collins, and Rudy is a pretty buff big-3.
