I know its not much but man it feels good for us to be acknowledged. Maybe having D12 will give us a some much needed attention.

Plainview1981 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hawks are probably done making moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakin Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Guy suggests trading Scroeder + Milsap + draft picks or more. Don't know that we'd really be that much better. I'd love to have a star like Westbrook though. Might be worth it just to get the city excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we move Sap it will be for something good; thought I don't think it will be Westbrook this season. We prove ourselves to be a semi contender, 2nd in the East and/or Conference finals with D12 and company, next season we could be an attractive landing spot for another big name player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameTime Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Get Westbrook-Dwight Surround them with shooters OR.......

Guest Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hmmmmm...I'm still here ain't I ... Still think he could screw the team but the things is we do need a superstar and he might behave with Bud.... Dennis and Millsap and a pick is a lot but you might have to pull it.

RWF Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Westbrook is my favorite non-Hawk. Would be ecstatic to have him. But, there is literally no way Thunder would trade him for any package we have. To add to that, Westbrook probably would like to go to a LA or NY destination, and I don't blame him.

We have a better shot if/when Bud's Dwight Howard redemption project works this season and next offseason he wants to leave the West and get to the Finals. We can possibly get Westbrook/Blake Griffin or Gordon Hayward/D12 next year. It all depends on Dwight Howard being a premier center in this league again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWF Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Schröder is the only young asset we have (and sadly our only hope for the future). We have done a horrible job collecting assets to trade for a star. For a team who wants to stay competitive, so won't tank for a drafted star, nor can get top guys to sign as free agents, you would think trades would be how we do it. Yet when you throw away draft picks it's hard to trade for a star when you have nothing that teams in need of a rebuild would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I doubt the lakers would give both of them up, ESPECIALLY since they're heavy favorites to outright sign him, but what if they're willing to drop Ingram and Russel? I wouldn't mind giving up Millsap and a first to get them to send Ingram our way. OKC-Russel, Millsap, lakers first, Twolves first LA- westbrook Atl- Ingram ****Im operating under the assumption Millsap bolts next year**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWF Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) OKC would just cut us out of that trade. They would be rebuilding if they traded Westbrook, why would they send Ingram to us for 32 year old Millsap? Edited July 5, 2016 by RWF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure OKC could literally afford going 3 years where they had zero fan support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to go to LA and NY for what the city offers but ATL can offer almost as much. Doesn't matter anyway because he's not coming to the Hawks.

Flight Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 If he committed to an extension I'd do it. Couldn't resist the possibility of having Dwight and Russell together in ATL. That'd be HUGE for the city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
