Trade Idea (I should be the Hawks GM and Owner)

Hey guys. We all know our front office and ownership are completely incompetent. As a sweaty armchair basketball savant (currently living in my parent’s house to avoid the IRS and because I have no in-person social skills), I’m feeling the urge to tell you all about my plans before the trade deadline via ESPN’s Trade Machine.

1. Saddiq Bey is a scoring MACHINE. He had a 51 point game at one time in his career, and is a lethal 3&D player in the league. Selling high on him to the reigning champs should allow us to get some young pieces to set us up for the future. I believe Jokic is a great backup option for Okongwu (DID YOU SEE HE CAN SHOOT 3s NOW??? HE’S BASICALLY GIANNIS AND BAM IN ONE PLAYER BUT BETTER). Jamal reunites with his brother, Dejounte, and should be a good young scoring player off the bench behind Trae. I don’t know who Michael Porter Jr is.

2. Patty Mills has been a phenomenal veteran for us, but it’s time to send him back to San Antonio. SA is in need of a quality point guard to feed their rising star big man, Zach Collins. We can take on the salary of rookie big man, Victor Wetbanana. Stringy and lengthy, he has talent to develop as a quality backup for Jalen Johnson (JJ 🥰😍😍 AWOOOGA).

3. With the acquisition of Jokic, Clint would unfortunately fall to 3rd string center for us. While it hurts to let him go, we get some good value back from Minnesota for Atlanta-native and gay-hater, Anthony Edwards. Naz Reid was added to the trade because I like his name.

4. De’Andre Hunter is expected to return in 3-4 years.

All in all, our lineup looks like this:

Starters:
PG: Trae Young
SG: Kobe Bufkin
SF: Anthony Edwards
PF: Jalen Johnson (😍😍😍😍)
C: Onyeka Okongwu

Bench:
PG: Dejounte Murray, Jamal Murray
SG: Bogi, Naz Reid (I have no idea what position he plays)
SF: MPJ, Garrison Matthews
PF: Wellbeyondya, Mo Gueye,
C: Bruno, Jokic

Thoughts????
