Hawks plan to use open roster spot to convert two-way guard Trent Forrest on a standard NBA contract, per league sources. Forrest has played 20 games this season, his second in Atlanta after being in Utah from 2020-22.

Sad. He’s so nice, and has great energy at games. Last one to leave his spot on Meet the Team night Monday. We talked about my family in Australia and my longtime friend named Patty Mills.
Guess I gotta find another new favorite now.

Why did it take the FO this long to make the decision. If they always wanted to convert Trent this should have been done 3 weeks ago when Trent hit the 50 game mark. This is something you can prepare and plan for, it’s not like it happened out of nowhere.

All it took was one good game from Trent & FO is shipping Patty 😭
Good note from Brad on CBA rules. I’m sure there are some contenders that could use a bench PG.

Feel bad for Patty. Not for being waived, but that the Hawks wasted his season. It was clear from the moment we got him that we didn’t need a small one way shooter, and that they would dump him. Seems silly to have let him wait this long to then just get waived.

Hate to see him go but Trent is more valuable to the team. Hopefully he can get picked up by a playoff team that needs vets

We’re so committed to defense moving forward. Big change in direction

Now we should cut Wes Matthews and get a forward who can actually play.

The Wife and I were excited to drive down to the Portland game to get a glance at Trae and Patty and now both are out/gone… Been a tough week.

At one of the Hawks vs Wizards games in DC this season, I was sitting next to an Australian guy who screamed “YOU’RE A FUCKING LEGEND, PATTY!!” when Patty hit the court. Patty seems like a great guy; wish him nothing but the best.

You see the situation is that if he was waived before now it would have made a cap hit that was non-guaranteed, but as of today his contract officially becomes a two-way contract so he can be waived and then if someone signs him we get compensatory 2nd round draft picks in next year’s lottery in-season tournament.
Don’t argue with me. I know I’m right.

I hope this doesn’t mean that Trent will be getting minutes over Kobe. That would be criminal af.
