Their pick will be a worse second round pick. Do we even know what 2nd we are trading yet? It could be Charlotte's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBac Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 We got a 2025 second round pick for our troubles. Saw a few middle school kids at an AAU practice earlier in Augusta, I should've took notes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojnarowski reports that as part of the deal, Atlanta and Brooklyn will exchange future second-round picks. http://www.nba.com/article/2018/07/13/report-brooklyn-nets-trade-jeremy-lin-atlanta-hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope we aren't losing an asset to dump Dennis. That would be such a Slinky thing to do. 10 minutes ago, Spud2nique said: I’d rather have a guy like Lin mentor Trae than a guy like Dennis. And I’m not even a Lin fan but I think he’s super smart and has done the most he can with the least amount of talent overall. He just finds ways and has an incredible work habit. Dennis must be done soon. @DS17Fanboy ur thoughts? Bruh, we finna lose the German contingent but gain a bunch-a Lin fans. Another trade we would've lost. Thanks, Slink.

I thought the point of having cap space was to use it to get assets, particularly since they aren’t using it to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I can rationalize this is by it being a part of a bigger deal because why would you help facilitate a deal that you, yourself, should be making.

The deal the Nets made with Denver is the deal the Hawks should have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 For those critics that want us to hit a grand slam this off season, pay attention, the grand slams were hit when Bron and George signed. Other than a poor free throw shooting Capella and a seriously injured Boogie, there was nothing but scraps left. Had Lin been in the free agent market he would have been viewed as a top five UFA. Provided he is 100% healthy this is a hell of a upgrade over Dorsey as a 3rd point guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud2nique Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Like I said a long time ago...I’m a Hawks fan nobody if we had signed Bill Laimbeer or Danny Ainge. Welcome Lin! We could have done a lot worse. This guy is a great vet mentor to Trae. He doesn’t get too high or too low and has been through media craziness in New York so he can advise Trae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
