Why for the Hawks? fills the PG and big wing/PF spot, still leaves flexibility for next offseason. Hawks still have $16 million to fill in the roster. Why for Spur - clears salary (if that's their route).

PG - Trae, Mills, Goodwin

SG - Huerter, Reddish

SF - Hunter, Gay, (#6)

PF - Collins, Skal,

C- Capela, Dedmon, Bruno

Pick #6 - have your choice and rework the position

Thoughts?

Looks good to me. Two solid, expiring, rotation vets for only cap.... Yeah all day.

Thanks a lot but I’m probably an idiot for thinking it and should be smacked around.

The Perfect Trade Target for Every NBA Team

Atlanta Hawks: Eric Gordon



The Atlanta Hawks scored 11.8 fewer points per 100 possessions when Trae Young went to the bench this season, signaling the team's clear need for more playmaking.

One player who could help while also providing some veteran leadership to a young team is Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon.

Gordon is coming off a dreadfully inefficient 2019-20, but he still showed flashes of explosiveness when healthy. In January, he dropped 50 on the Utah Jazz.

He, of course, wouldn't be called on to consistently provide that level of scoring in Atlanta. Young and John Collins will still be the top two options. But having a reliable ballhandler on the floor when Young sits could push the Hawks offense closer to average (it was 26th this season).

And with Clint Capela now on the roster, Atlanta may have a stretch 5 with whom it can entice Houston.

G Williams could be our Draymond...G Hayward could be our Shaun Livingston.

My thoughts - Let's break down the trade:
Do you think Hayward has positive value? based on contract status ($34 million and 1 year) and injury status? Boston is a team facing luxury tax implications - Boston should be paying us to take him. So if you sumise they are offering us pick #24 to take his deal, that leaves Grant Williams and #14. (Note: Mitch Kupchak noted that the offers he received for an expiring Kemba last year was a lottery protected 1st, I think that's a general baseline for guys like Dipo and Jrue, vets on expirings). So even if we offer the OKC 2022 1st for him, that leaves Grant Williams, #14 and #24 to get to #6?
Do you think Williams, #24 and #14 is enough to move to #6?
Making that trade leaves us with ~$6 million in capspace to fill in the rest of the roster.

NBA Rumors: Karl-Anthony Towns Could Be Traded To Hawks For Clint Capela, John Collins, De’Andre Hunter & Pick



In order to have a realistic chance of fully dominating the Eastern Conference and contending for the NBA championship title next year, the Hawks obviously need to add more star power around Young this fall. One of the dream trade targets for the Hawks in the 2020 offseason is All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to Nate Ackert of Fansided’s Dunking With Wolves, Atlanta may consider sending a package that includes Clint Capela, John Collins, De’Andre Hunter, and the No. 6 overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft to Minnesota in exchange for Towns.

Trading three core players and a lottery pick would undeniably be a tough decision for the Hawks, but it would be worth it if it means acquiring a player of Towns’ caliber. This season, he averaged 26.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks while hitting 50.8 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from the three-point range, per ESPN. Pairing Towns with Young wouldn’t make them the Hawks an instant favorite to represent the Eastern Conference in the Finals, but if they grow together and build good chemistry, they would have a realistic chance of challenging powerhouse teams [in the East].

We get the combo guard/secondary playmaker we desperately need. Plus still have a shot at drafting a young guy from a mediocre draft.

What are you looking to trade him for?

We'd like to shed him for cap space.
