ESPN trade machine - ominous glitch

If you put in a Hawks trade it inevitably gives us a minus return on the win/loss. Even trading Baze for an All-Star gets us a negtive win/lose.

What's up with that? The machine must have the same vision of the Hawks future as me :banghead:

How is that possible? So if you trade Baze for say Klay or Giannis straight up, we still end up with less wins?
what does the RealGM trade checker say?

Yep! Seems to be s system problem and the first team listed always loses. I was getting crazy trying to make a good trade

Just a guess - we over achieved in the first half due to an easy schedule and are expected to regress to the mean after the break:

Atlanta’s mark was accumulated despite being outscored by opponents for the season (-0.4 net rating per 100 possessions) and that forecasts a regression. Three notable projection systems have weighed in on what to expect from the Hawks after the All-Star break and, in a weird twist, all three reached the same conclusion.

...[for] the Hawks to finish with a 45-37 record and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. (NOTE: Atlanta would need to post a 13-13 record after the break to reach the 45-win mark)

Given that the Hawks essentially boast a net rating of a .500 team -- and the fact that Atlanta’s schedule becomes significantly more difficult in March -- the combination makes a great deal of sense.
Peachtree Hoops

Nope, it's more than that, so even we we overacheived and are adding top end Allstars still negative wins. Try it yourself...try trading for 4 of Warriors starters (Curry, Klay Draymond, KD) still negative wins. Trade Baze and Splitter for Lebron still negative in the win columns. That's just not possible.

Apparently the trade machine can see what our GM/ownership can't
