Eye roll
Goddammit every fucking year
Seems like every year we get hot right before the deadline and we don’t make big moves. I wanted to see Capela moved for a better fit at C in Quins system but that’s not gonna happen now. Hunter is a negative asset and probably couldn’t pass a physical anyway. I don’t want to see Bogi or DJ traded so for me if we aren’t breaking up the core then we need to use the JC trade exception and bring in a difference maker.
It’s more likely we don’t trade Dejounte than trading him for the one player + two FRP’s the Hawks have been asking for.
This is why we’ll always be mid
If we trade DJM, we WILL be trading Trae the year later. There’s no way we become a top 5 team with just Trae and a bunch of mid players and a few conditional draft picks. He’s good but not that good. Another losing season and Trae will be gone.
We even needed DJM to beat GSM and he’s won at least 7 games for us this year.
As far as Hunter, Capela and Bogi, they should be traded for players that fix Quin’s system. IMHO.
Four game win streak negates a season and a half of mid ball. Galaxy brain front office and ownership

a mere 3 days away from watching every other team get better while we do nothing
Honestly if the hawks are able to get Hunter out of here for gallery filler then I would consider that a win.
If the hawks allocated that 20 million elsewhere we would be in so much better shape
If they are really letting four games alter their stance then they haven’t learned anything from the past. Remember when you said you regret the team standing pat Tony? And you are going to sell of pieces in the offseason anyways because you are cheap. Just get this done. Stop with the leaking that helps every team but the hawks. It’s been there through 3 coaches and 2 GMs. Hmmm. I wonder where it’s coming from.
Whose trade value do we think drops on the most in the second half of the season?
We literally all saw this coming
call it copium but i’m sure this just means they not trading dj for less than they think he’s worth which they are delusional for expecting to receive wat they gave but i don’t think this means capela isn’t getting moved
Good. Unless the Lakers put AR in the deal, keep DJ.
Here we go again…
Think people are missing the point here…
Lebron uses Windhorst as his mouthpiece. This is Lebron telling his FO to stop posturing and get a deal done. Murray is the most prominent out there but we have others that LAL has had rumored interest in as well (Capela is the one who jumps immediately to mind).
We may be reading a bit too much into this. Teams are offering a single first for Murray, that’s not a trade we should be taking.
This could just be posturing from our FO, trying to get a better deal from other teams; maybe we’re trying to diminish other teams’ leverage to get more picks/better players.
I would love this team to make some moves – but I don’t see them breaking up the team with current rumors. Think “breaking up the team” would involve one of the two scenarios
1. Trading DJM or Trae (Trae is almost certainly not happening)
2. Trading at least 2 of the following: Bogi, Hunter, Capela, OO, JJ (also almost certainly not happening)
I haven’t seen a DJM rumor yet that makes the team better now or over the next 3-4 years. There’s no incentive to not get better over that span since the Spurs have our unprotected picks and I don’t think we’re finding a guy in FA with the same impact for similar money. Also don’t think a couple of heavily protected FRPs make the team much better after that timeframe.Think he has more value in the future than his current market indicates
Id love to see a move that changes the roster involving both Capela and Hunter (since I do think we could spend money and get better there in FA) I just don’t know if there’s much of a market for those two
Could easily see just one of the guys from that second list being moved, but I don’t think that rises to the level of “breaking it up” – I just don’t see enough of a market for us to make more than 1
22-27 and in 10th place. I’ve said don’t trade Murray unless the offer is fair and that applies to every player but the Hawks should be searching for fair offers.
Getting to 6th at this point would be rather difficult and the Hawks definitely shouldn’t add in order to try to facilitate that.
I cannot comprehend the obsession with wanting to keep a team together that should hover around .500. The goal is to win a championship. This group of players has been together for years. Murray is a relatively recent addition but he didn’t change things as ownership wanted or expected. Also I doubt the Hawks can trade Murray for a comparable player and improve with a sidegrade because the new player would be a better fit with Trae.
The sooner ownership can admit that things haven’t gone to plan with trades for Murray and Capela and that drafting Hunter and Okongwu didn’t go to plan either can they move on and try to work towards improving this team long term.
That will do it to you when no one wants to trade any value for Murray
