There’s apparently some talk about the Hawks trading with Memphis for Pau Gasol. The Hawks would move the 3 pick along with a few reserve players (including Josh Childress and Anthony Johnson) for Gasol. I can’t tell you how much I hope this happens.

But from what I heard from Atlanta today, it’s not happening.

Maybe BK is holding out in hopes that the demand drops from 3, Chillz to just 3 and fillers????

I was surprised, too. Either the assertion is bogus, or BK's getting some very attractive offers that make pale this one in comparison

he didn't say atlanta rejected it

he said he has sources in atlanta who say it's not happening; could be memphis rejecting it

[oiatlhawksfan]

yeah, thats what I was thinking.

Your ability to recognize spin from intended spin is noteworthy.

I would have thought that would be the deal we were looking for. Maybe BK is pushing Zaza, Speedy, #3, Fillers.... however, if we get Gasol and Law... I won't be mad.

We might get Gasol and Luke??

Luke and Pau?

Sounds like an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard.

Luke, Pau, Jessie, Jake, and Jo! with Boss Hog!

[TheDude]

even if we do reject it, still might be a good idea for BK....reject it and if Memphis doesnt call back during the draft to accept it (#3, scrubs), then BK always has the option of calling them and throwing in Childress....

i mean there are no other teams rumored to be in the Gasol talk to compete with.

I've been hyping Horford so hard that I actually think I'd rather keep the 3 pick and get a good young big man rather than trade Horford and Chill for a guy getting a max contract who may not end up being a signifcantly better player than Horford anyway.

[WraithSentinel]

I am starting to see what the Horford hype is all about. From teams below us wanting this guy so badly to those who know the game speaking of this guy.

[sinctybldh]

me too I would rather keep no 3 and get Horford.

Not surprised, Chillz is alot better then what you guys think about him as, he can become a good player, like I said earlier, he alot closer to JJ talent wise then many of you think, I know he won't get that type of money becuase of PT and who he plays for, but he always makes a impact something that no other Hawk does well, I'm not suprise at all, I would trade J. Smith and the 3rd, with filler, for Gasol though.
