Not the direction I would choose to go but owning his rights if he wants to leave in the offseason at least gives us something to work with. 4 minutes ago, GameTime said: Soon as in 24 hrs? I hope so cus that means we aren't moving DJ in the deal and can add more quality pieces around Trae and Siakam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSays Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 No way we trade JJ for Siakam. Can’t imagine us giving up much for a rental. But we should honestly be sellers right now…not buyers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I’d rather give up hunter due to injury concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSays Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Dre/Mills/Bey (maybe the Sac pick too) for Siakam and then I’d consider the Pels trade floated on here for DJM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yungsta Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 If we trade for Siakiam, I predict its going to cost us JJ. Siakiam and JJ play similiar positions and the raptors are looking for young players with upside for Siakiam. They aren't going to take our trash. I wish the hawks would just stop talking to them. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final_quest Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Predict again that Siakam will say how excited he is to play here if a trade goes down. I don’t believe he’s a rental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jdawgflow Posted December 31, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 1 hour ago, JeffS17 said: Yes, definitely! Yeah, he has done some more stuff off ball, but I am assuming DJ thought he would be functioning as the primary ball handler more than he has been when Trae is on the court. I think there was either a miscommunication or a misunderstanding of them pairing up. Oh well, DJ isn't some negative asset so we should get back good value for him and take another path. 56 minutes ago, TheNorthCydeRises said: 38% shooting on 30+ ft 3 pointers, by the way. It was above 40% from that range. I thought I had seen the 40% somewhere. Corner threes would be great but spacing at the top of the key for bombs is nice too at that clip. I wish we had a low post presence to pass out to Trae for catch and shoots. That would help off ball a lot. Right now too much standing around from everyone. At least with someone down low who can work it would open up the 3pt line for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucastheThird Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 2 hours ago, TheNorthCydeRises said: DJ, when he has the chance to run the team on his own, has seen leads disappear and offensive production become stagnant. He is an average halfcourt offense PG. He's good at finding his own offense with the ball in his hands, but not a good facilitator in the halfcourt. When DJ excels in the halfcourt, he's creating and making his own shot. DJ is also good in transition as the PG. Quin is the coach. If he wanted to increase DJ's PG minutes, he could definitely do it. But no coach in his right mind is going to take the ball out of the hands of a player that can generate 25 ppg from assists alone. Reminder, this is a top 5 offense. If Quin thought we'd be even better with DJ in control, we'd be seeing more of it. How many 3 point assist does DJ have on the year? I need to look that up. I just want to state that my posts are not advocating for DJ to get more PG minutes. Just throwing darts in the dark at what I think the unspoken issue might be, if there is one.

Just curious what your standards are. It's harder to name five who don't. Most guys are at least average off the ball. The bad ones are Trae John Wall when he was in the league Westbrook D.

Popular Post warcore Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I absolutely hate this FO if they trade JJ for Suckem. He's already a great fit for this team and has impact on both ends. He's young as hell and still has another year on his rookie deal. It won't be nearly as expensive to sign him to his next deal as it would Suckem. And Suckem would be on the down hill while JJ would be entering his prime. 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheroatl Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) There is no f’n way JJ is getting traded. 20/10 guy on rookie scale don’t get traded. If anything happens with Siakam it will be for Dre and AJ. GM’ing 101 Edited December 31, 2023 by theheroatl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco102 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) lol...nothing's probably going to happen If it does, we are trading JJ, Bogi and filler for Siakam. That's how things work for the Hawks. Trade your best for trash and then next year wonder why you are floundering. I'd rather stand pat than to do that JJ trade.

I 100% believe the Raptors asked for Jalen Johnson. The Hawks would be dumber than dumb to trade him for Siakim. I could understand moving some of the other young players or maybe even OO (which I think is what would happen since they traded Precious), but you hard pass on anything concerning Jalen. Things haven't been going well, but it ain't bad enough to move JJ. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jalen weren’t on a rookie contract maybe it would make more sense but yeah I agree it would be a really dumb move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
