My guy has talked around NBA circles of late

[Spud2nique]

I guess this is a message to everyone to play hard or we will ship you out. He could have waited till the trade deadline but im guessing he wanted the players to have DEFINED roles.

Hunter time. Our depth gets a bit more shallow but the projected high lottery picks need to step up now.

[ryandauwalker]

I'd love to hear how insiders are responding to this news and if they view a follow-up move as the catalyst for this... obviously, we have our own reaction, but more context would be helpful!

[marco102]

I'm upset.  I'm a Cam stan.  Woj reported Cam wanted a bigger role and I guess Schlenk said okay.

I'm waiting to see if this is the precursor to a bigger move.  If we can get Brandon Ingram or someone, I may be okay. 

Will I be okay? Am I okay? 

Somebody help! I'm having a breakdown!

Are we able to take back more salary after this trade?  It’s probably setting up another move.  

Saved about $1 million on the trade.

As far as packaging in a larger trade, it's easier to package a pick than a player.  We already have plenty of outgoing salary we can use.  So let's see where this goes, if there is another shoe to drop.

At the least, you can see how Reddish was truly valued internally.  Hunter is the guy.

Also Cam's looming extension may/could scare some teams.

I’m too frustrated with that terrible ass trade to say what’s really on my mind. There better be a massive trade in the works or schlenk mind as well start packing his bags now .

You and me both. I texted my guy pissed about this and his other text. He texted me last night, he got a bad feeling about Cam which is why I created that thread. He should have said it was for freaking garbage.

Your guy really sold you a bill of goods.  Here's what he said through you for the benefit of the sweaty readers:

Quote

He’s being told that Cam has drawn the most interest of ANY player on the market. As every NBA team has made an inquiry. I’ve been told the price is exceptionally high considering what they want to trade him for. I’ve been told there is a chance he could be moved but do not bet on it.

Quote

I am told every NBA team has made an offer for Reddish. None have made a significant one.

Exceptionally high price??  I'm not sure I can really read this stuff anymore, no offense as I know you just share what you hear.  But that bad info I'm sure fed into your prediction, which may have been a touch off:

Supes Trade Deadline predictions:

...

5.      Cam Reddish, yes Cam Reddish will NOT be traded. He is the most wanted man in this trade deadline period in terms of offers but if Atlanta continues to seek high value, the chances of trading Reddish is low.

Man, this is good stuff. You got more of this shit? 

This assclown literally happy af we literally traded one of our most talented players for middling assets and he's happy on, I told you so like you my two year old. Man get the f*** the out face with that bullshit.

Players should have defined roles.  That's the coach's job.  We shouldn't have to get rid of players because the coach refuses to do his job.

Simmons remains a target for Atlanta ahead of the trade deadline, a source told The Painted Lines. Simmons would have no qualms with going to the Hawks. Collins has been discussed as part of the framework heading to Philadelphia in trade talks.

If Collins is involved, I say No! 

He seems to be the only leader this team has right now.

I dont know but he will be traded by the deadline is basically what my guy implied. I am sure it will be for a overpay as that's what we do best and undersell our shit

You know for Simmons, he had to go.

Would you be happy if the Hawks included Bogi and Jalen with three first rounders (the one received from Cam) for Ben?

It will likely be an overpay so chances are, I won't like it.

That said, Simmons is a better RS player than Trae. He just sucks ass in the playoffs and turns into a 60-75 range player which is ashame.

Simmons on a new team may be better. I'll take the chance on him if that's all it took.

He's a top 10 RS player to me. He's way better than his rep which gets killed because of his massive fall in the playoffs. 

[NBASupes]

If the Hawks come out like this

Trae

???

Simmons

Harris

Sabonis

 

That gives Atlanta a fighting chance. After that, it's all about signing guys but that's already 120 million between 4 players. Eek!
