His contract is too big, but it's structured pretty well. His salary actually descends in value each season -- meaning he'll be making less annually at the end of the contract.

Making him eminently tradable down the line.

Perhaps.

I'm envisioning an offensive role for him similar to THJ in Dallas, feasting off the offensive attention Collins & Trae pull -- and making teams pay from deep.

He's easily a 20 ppg scorer in a fast paced offense next to Trae.

Now, I wouldn't give up much value for him. But the fact he'll be making less than $20 million per season by the end of this contract means he can be packaged in another deal down the line if it doesn't work out.

Isn't that what he's doing in SAC though, just not starting. Isn't that what he's upset about?

I'm not arguing, because I actually don't know. Just asking.

Sacramento is a clown show.

I believe that larger role on a more competitive team with a better-run franchise can keep him happy. Also...I'd offer him the starting spot at SG.

I like Reddish and Huerter, but they aren't ready just yet to play an integral role for a playoff bound team.

I disagree. I think it's more important to find out if our young draft picks can be the catalyst for the playoffs supplemented by an nba quality bench. Find out if they are part of the building blocks or not.
Now Schlenck did say, competition amongst the young players if he trades for one is a good thing. So just having Heild start particularly when he was demoted and not play defense is a non starter for me.

Every NBA Team's Dream Offseason Trade Target

Atlanta Hawks: SG Jrue Holiday



In order to be considered true playoff contenders in the East next season, the young Hawks will need to develop quickly or trade for an All-Star guard who's one of the best two-way players in the league.

A backcourt of Trae Young and Jrue Holiday would be among the best in the conference. A terrific defender, Holiday could take on the toughest assignment every night while allowing Young to save his energy for the offensive end.

Head coach Lloyd Pierce could stagger the minutes between the two, allowing Holiday to play some backup point guard, as well. Playing alongside Lonzo Ball with the New Orleans Pelicans this season, Holiday still ranked 17th in the NBA with 6.7 assists per game, second-best among all shooting guards and trailing only James Harden.

Holiday's 36.4 percent mark on catch-and-shoot threes would help improve Atlanta's league-worst 33.3 percent three-point shooting as a team, and his veteran leadership would also be valuable for a squad losing Vince Carter to retirement.

And that would be an easy pass from me. Not in this draft. The value to do that is just not there.
ESPN has a 3 way with Wolves/Knicks/Hawks
Minny gets #6 (From Hawks) and 2021 1st from Knicks top 3 protected.
Knicks get #1 (trade 8 and 27)
Hawks get #8 and #27 (from Knicks) for #6.

I don't think #27 is enough to move down 2 spots.
#6 and future 1st from Knicks gets to #1. So Hawks definitely shouldn't be adding Huerter or Hunter.

Schlenk burned assets to move up to get D Hunter. If he thinks Edwards is the man I got no issues with it.

Star based league, mid first round picks hard to nail as stars.

Atlanta isn't trading up and no, Ramsey is not better or going to be better than Edwards

you think every player is complete and utter garbage until they put on a Hawks jersey.
