Immanuel Quickly + Dick + Mogbo + 9th + future 1sts for Trae? Not enough? Hawks need a rebuild badly

Trae Young

he is being sued for running over a kids foot leaving the arena because wait for it .... he is a knucklehead. Have you heared him speak by chnace?

Lol being sued by running over a kids foot on accident....He obv didn't go out targetting a kid to run over here...You sound insane....Also being sued and being guilty are 2 diff things....Its not like Melo is some Zion Williamson risk here or doing some off the court stuff and in the news all the time....He has been injured....If you don't like someone personally then thats you....He seems like a good kid to me....Just a hooper that loves basketball and hes a really skilled ball player as well.....If you can get someone that skilled at good value ....You do it...

He was speeding and driving recklessly and injuried a young boy. What if that was your son? He also has fines for anti-gay slurs. I sound insane? You sound like a cluless idot. Ujiji is not trading for this clown, so don't get your hopes up. The Kangz will or a team like that.

With the way your typing you sound more like the "Knucklehead" in this scenario Relax you have no idea who Masai likes...Masai showed interest in Ball during the draft....So if we do trade for him i will remember your username and have a laugh at you for having to cheer for someone you hate so much for so little reasons considering you don't know him personally...[/quote]

Keep it up with the insults you keyboard warrior. WTF are even talking about. The Raptors had the 29th pick in that draft. Its dinner time crawl out of mommy's basement your chicken fingers and fries should be about ready.

hawks are more likely to go all in than a rebuild. and imo it makes sense.
their whole starting lineup is young/youngihs players, young, Daniels, rishesher, jalen johnson, okwangu
plus they owe pick to spurs.

that being said, holy **** thats a lot to give up for trae.

Trae Young is a poralizing player. A Young/RJ backcourt scares me. I think the Magic are perfect for him or a team with a very strong defense.

"Throwing insults at everyone" Yet we are the keyboard warriors? Ok bud Continue being a Knucklehead around here...Can tell you havn't been following the team long if you weren't around when the Raptors/LaMelo ball rumors were swirling....You do know trades exist right?....Also asking realgmers who been around longer than you saying "Who are you" is not a good look

[S.W.A.N]

I think it would be crazy not to make noise.

2nd apron is making teams re-evaluate how they do business. Trying to have a 'big three' is almost impossible now, or is only going to have a very short window.

If Giannis is going to be traded, you absolutely need to be involved
If Jalen Brown is going to be traded ( I don't think he will, but Boston is going to be doing big changes)

There is a handful of guys that are going to be moved this summer that can be legit cornerstones to a championship team. Or at least have shown enough talent to potentially be that cornerstone.

Guys like Durant, I'd be less inclined to trade for, just because I don't think we are in that win next year mode that allows us to bet everything on a 1-2 year rental or guy that is on the decline and in the danger zone for injuries.

Anyone that has a 5 year window of elite play should be on the list. Then it just comes down to can we get a deal that makes us good enough to contend now, or improves us without emptying the asset pool.

Do I think it will happen... Nope. There are teams out there that have a butt load of assets and an immediate desire to get better. But we need to make sure Bucks don't make a trade without hearing our offer.

Not to overhype Mogbo, but I’m not trading/getting rid of any defensive players if we go after Trae. I’d definitely need Mogbo and Ochai on the roster.

[Pointgod]

This has been the story every off season, I'll believe it when I see it. All past reports after the fact leak what the Raps allegedly offered, and it was always lowballing. Every team in the league can be "looking for a big fish" but seldom do they pay for a big fish, that's the distinction.

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it. It sounds good until Masai realizes that no one is looking to trade a superstar for RJ Barrett and the 9th pick. And I don’t think many “big fish” are available. Other than Durant, who is actually available? At least they seem to be committing to a direction.

[Tripod]

I have been saying for a month that it wouldn't surprise me if Masai does a sneaky trade few see coming.

I cited his contract. If this is his last season running the Raps, making a big trade shows Kawhi was not a fluke.

So other teams see that if he comes available. Or Rogers faces big pressure to sign him after making a big deal.

And if he leaves, he cares less about "future" assets used in a deal.

So it's sort of dangerous having him as a 1 year left Pres. But it also be quite exciting.

Fwiw, I don't think it's Giannis.

[Mr Funk]

It's obviously going to be a push for giannis, but who else could potentially be on their radar? Durant?

Booker? Ja?

It's Booker. He fits the timeline, wouldn't have to give up too much, another good scorer/shooter and has a great relationship with Darko.

Barnes/Ingram/Booker is one hell of a big three.

Tbh sounds like Booker is not being traded....I think they hold booker and try and move Durant/Beal....The owner said a Booker trade will never happen for what its worth....I doubt hes available...

[WuTang_CMB]

Ya a lot of revitionist history here. Whole league was clowing us saying hurry up ur team stinks and trade these guys masai too patient. Lol

[RoteSchroder]

I had a dream that we got Jalen Brown

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Trae Young maybe?

He'll have to apologize to the Raptor lol.

That's too much tbh for us I'd love him on our team though but we need some defense back too, not sure how we plan on getting better defensively.
