Not saying any of these are available but it'll trade like these or similar: Powell and #18, Prince and #19, James Johnson and #17, Will Barton and #22. Any of these teams looking to cut salary since the Hawks have capspace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe taking on a contract another team wants to unload. That would make sense if we thought we couldn't use our cap space on free agents and couldn't come up with trades for players we wanted (or maybe we want the player and the other team wants to unload them). Just spitballing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted October 21, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Some fairly harmless expirings that the Hawks could absorb (and then waive) in exchange for a late first. Boston - Poirier Toronto - Johnson or McCaw Utah - Davis Philly - Scott 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I would call it a Rumor specifically, it was more a response to a question by 1 of 20 Player Agents, an article by The Athletic. 4. Which franchise needs a major move this offseason? 6.5 — Philadelphia • “Philly is at the point where it’s a make or break year for just about everybody.” Regarding our Hawks Quote • “Atlanta has to take another huge step. And their challenge, the way that Trae Young plays as an individual is phenomenal, but I don’t know that they’re going to win that way. And I don’t think he’s willing to change his game. It might be kind of like a James Harden thing. Trae made the All-Star Game, everyone likes watching him play, but does that translate into winning? And they’re a young team and they need to make a step up. “You have to have more balance. I’m old school. I don’t think you can win with one dude scoring 40 every game, without a real good balance. I mean, Michael Jordan scored 40 with the Bulls before they put other talent around him and he did change his game. He scored 60 against the Celtics. But you create more balance. George Gervin was one of the most prolific scorers ever but never won. Wilt Chamberlain was averaging 50 and the Celtics would always beat them. It’s more team basketball. There’s a balance between excellent individualism of one or two guys, blended in with more of a team.” Full article: https://theathletic.com/2127698/?source=twitterhq 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kg01 Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 That's such fkng lazy "analysis". That "executive" could've written that about any scoring player. "I'm old school". STFU. There's nothing old school about recognizing there needs to be balance. Does he think he's breaking news here? Sorry, I'm in a bad mood. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheNorthCydeRises Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Random stats vs winning, when it comes to Trae: - Hawks record when Trae scored 30 or more points: 13 - 18 - Hawks record when Trae scored less than 30 points: 5 - 24 - Hawks record when Trae scored 38 points or more: 9 - 7 - Hawks record when Trae scored 21 points or less: 0 - 14 - Hawks record when Trae made 5 or more threes: 12 - 8 - Hawks record when Trae made 3 or less threes: 5 - 29 - Hawks record when Trae got 13 or more assists: 7 - 5 - Hawks record when Trae got 8 or less assists: 3 - 21 - Hawks record when Trae shot 37.5% or more from three: 13 - 10 - Hawks record when Trae shot 30% or less from three: 2 - 23 The narrative on Trae is crazy, seeing that the Hawks were dead in the water if Trae WASN'T balling out on a nightly basis. Also, we all know that this team started playing better once we got Collins back in the mix. Adding Jeff Teague helped too, from a playmaking standpoint. But a winning team needs multiple people playing well to win. And as we all know, we didn't have that on a lot of nights, especially with no Collins in the mix. Bottom line is that Trae had to ball out, in order for the Hawks to win, or even to stay competitive. This league better hope that our young wings don't turn from being raw and unseasoned, to being lemon peppered wet flavored. If they start playing better, Trae's assist numbers will skyrocket into the 12 - 13 apg range. And if Trae continues the trend of improving his 3 point shooting by 4%, he becomes a 40% shooter from 3. If that happens, it's lights out for the East. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
