This is kinda all over Twitter right now but I didn’t see any posts here about it
[Example 1](https://twitter.com/HawksFanTV/status/1676412630653886465)
[Example 2](https://twitter.com/Dc3daM/status/1676417941422604288)
With the report that the [Hawks are interested in Pascal Siakam](https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/as-raptors-continue-player-and-coaching-staff-turnover-will-siakam-be-next-to-go/), could we be in for some major news coming soon? Or is this just random social media activity? Mildly interesting stuff
> In the last couple of hours, Trae Young followed Pascal Siakam on IG, while AJ Griffin started following Scottie Barnes

Elon doesn’t let us look at Twitter anymore.
They can follow eachother without wanting to play with eachother you know
What do they say about smoke and fire?
I’m undecided on how I feel about this one, but my gut tells me the Hawks need to make a move and shake things up. The roster as we’ve known it the last two years doesn’t have the ball movement or penetration we need to see from an nba playoff team. I don’t think Collins + Capela + Okongwu (any 2 of these 3) is a good pairing. I think Jalen Johnson will provide some more playmaking at the 3 and 4, but he’s not ready to start, especially defensively.
Trae/Bogi/Hunter/Siakam/Capela is a strong team. Or keep Bogi on the bench if they keep DJM as a starter. But something’s gotta give, either OO or Capela needs to go, and OO probably has a lot more trade value right now.

Cool
but who is tyler herro following
so hunter aj and siakam and probably porter is involved so far
griffin was already cool with toronto guys since his dad coached us and he was around a bunch
wouldnt it be funny if they all had a GC saying “yo what if we trolled people and followed each other all at once”
Ah yes before every trade is finalized the GMs tell the players to follow each other….
Masai is not telling Scottie he is trading Pascal in the middle of a trade discussion. Some players don’t even find out they got traded till the Woj bomb
Hardly definitive, but certainly worth noting. Thanks OP.
Damn, end of an era if this is real. Long term, I don’t know if Scottie and Pascal could play together so hopefully he gets to develop properly if this goes through.
Pascal Siakam… YOU… are an Atlanta Hawk
If they trade aj I’m disowning the hawks. I may physically move from Georgia.
Trae Young for Scottie Barnes trade confirmed
Oh boy
I wonder if players do this just to fuck with fans and reporters
I’ve heard that AJ was already following Scottie and people just are confused about mutual followers vs new followers on IG.
AJ’s dad was a coach for the Raptors so it would make sense for him.
Idk someone who actually knows how Instagram followers works can tell me if I’m wrong or right. 😂 really hope he’s not traded though
Context: They fuckin’.
It’s over ladies and gentlemen
SunKings are old news, meet the RaptorHawks
Imagine Siakam to Atlanta lol
“Mildly” is a reach
SCT BRN
Do people really just sit there and check constantly to know if these dudes followed new people or what? How do we know they hadn’t been following each other for a while now?
“X is following/has unfollowed Y” posts should be banned and the people/bots that make them should have their accounts deleted without notice.
if pascal was on the move we would know
If I were a player I would do this all the time. Start following random players. Start following random teams. Maybe even follow another team in another sport. Follow a restaurant in another city. Follow some luxury apartments in another city. Just a bunch of random bullshit to make nerds online freak out
I follow literally every player on the Kings and my agent hasn’t gotten a single call.
I mean it’s SUMMER. These dudes hang out with each other.
Trae to the Raptors, Sctbrn to Atlanta?
Means nothing
Dude this stuff does not matter at all
You guys are fucking weird
WHOA
Tyler Herro is clearly following the drip, the sauce, and the game itself!
ATL BE REBUILDING, TRAE AINT HIM
He’s probably following his own highlights on repeat 🤷♂️
He’s probably too busy following his own highlight reels.
Wow that’s crazy
This fucking sub goes on about Twitter follows and IG follows like god damn school children
“Follow Culture” is so weird to me.
