6. #6 for Victor Oladipo (Hawks have moved on from getting guys on 1 year deals for #6 and I'm glad to hear that)

7. #6 for Boston 3 picks, pass for me

8. #6 for DeRozan (awhile back)

9. #6 for White and #11

I'm sure there are more. Hawks have capspace, a top pick and young players. We're gonna be in a lot of 'trades'. I Love this time of year.

5 is my biggest No, but I also really hope it's not 8 or 3. And no to 4, 6 and 7
2 maybe, and 1 is OK is we can't get a player we want with the 6th pick (if GSW pick Edwards with the possibility to keep him)
9 is my preferred, but only if it's White, I don't want Murray, he has less impact in individual and team defense than White, and we need more defense.

Trashy trades. I’m not trading just to trade. Keep the 6th, make the pick, spend wisely on productive vets and remain flexible. That’s the goal.

This guy is about to begin to get some credibility... or not.







To be clear, RegionHoopsRoss is explicitly alleging he has a source who has said it's on the table.

To my knowledge, the only other reference to a DeRozan deal was made by The Ringer's mock draft writer who only indicated it was something that he himself imagined would make sense.

I could actually live with Troy Brown, pick 9 for pick 6.

If Cam and Hunter reach their potential, and Huerter improves too, we have 4 guys on the 1-2-3 spots, so we really need only one more good player on these spots.
If Haliburton is there at 6th, pick him and it's done, then see if we can get Bertans, or even Millsap for a good contract (Denver had really their best defense when he was playing, even if his personal stats were not that great).
If Haliburton is not there, we can do the opposite by picking Okongwu or Toppin for example, and trying to sign Dragic, Rondo if he wants to, or trade for Rubio

In both case, we get a 5 good players rotation on 1-2-3, and improved the backcourt defense
The trade #9 if my preferred (but not sold on it) for a simple reason : if we get White, it brings the backup PG with some defense, even if he's better at SG on both defense and offense, so we get an asset with 11th pick for a trade
I prefer Haliburton than White, but if it's Haliburton or White+a player we can get with the 11th instead of not getting one at all, or the need to include someone like Huerter, we can end up being better.

If a player Schlenk is targeting is there at 9th, it would be a good deal.

I really hope he won't, especially for the second tweet
And hope Schlenk is aware of all the numbers on DeRozan proving his negative impact on his two teams and almost all seasons

The DeRozan stuff is from over a week ago from a different site......he's on a 1 year contract and 30 so that's unlikely we trade #6 for any rental.

Would this work?

Hawks get Kyle Kuzma

Pelicans get #6

Lakers get Jrue Holiday



I know the Lakers are shopping Kuzma around to get another wing player. Holiday seems like the perfect Lakers' guy, former UCLA player, 3D combo guard with elite defense, who has enough shooting to fit in perfectly with Lebron and Rondo.

Lakers can't take in all that salary. I don't see Kuzma with #6 value.

Lakers will have to throw in some contracts like Green, but Kuz is an 19ppg scorer on a rookie contact and could become at 24ppg scorer in a year or two.

Lakers will have to throw in some contracts like Green, but Kuz is an 18ppg scorer on a rookie contact and could become at 22ppg scorer in a year or two.

I doubt you'd find anyone willing to give even a top 10 pick or even lottery pick value for Kuzma.

Let's get it started!

no. This won’t work for atlanta. Kuzma doesn’t have near this value in general, and has even less value in Atlanta, where he’d just back up Collins. Plus the contracts are all out of wack for LA. There’s no deal to be made here.

Have to say, this sounds very appealing, which means it will never happen, of course. A first standard of any hypothetical trade that might happen is that it has to be very unappealing to me.



I like the addition of Smart. I like the options later in the draft. And/but as much as anything else, I like that we convert that $13.3m on our books to an asset that I feel greater confidence will, indeed, be an asset for awhile.

I'd be interested in this trade and then flipping 26 and 30 to Cleveland for Larry Nance. Now that Drummond is locked in for them, they need to cut some salary from their bigs. Would still give us money left to sign Harris and go after Grant.

Per BR: aka a Warrior fan

It’s not happening Warrior fans, give up ur done!

Atlanta Hawks Receive: No. 2 overall pick, C Kevon Looney

Golden State Warriors Receive: No. 6 overall pick, C Clint Capela

Lose assets for someone we can sign outright doesn’t sound Schlenkish to me

The only think Boson gets is a TPE, Hawks get a small asset for facilitating the deal. Boston gets a large TPE they can use to acquire another player. Or no deal and he is traded elsewhere.

#6 for Lowry.

I want us to stay as far away from Smart as possible. Dude is a hot head and not in a "passionate about the game" sort of way. He has had issues with our team the past several seasons including taunting our bench. stepping on Trae, trying to fight the refs, ect.
