Dedmon and Collins for Crowder, Zizic,
Cavs send their 2021 1st top 5 protected and the Miami 2020 2nd.
Collins could be used next to Love quite nicely. Dedmon provides rim protection and can stretch the floor a little bit
as Love primary backup on the 2nd unit.
This would make sense if we move Thompson in another deal for sure.
I'm pretty high on Collins and his activity around the rim would be very good for this roster.
The only hitch here is they might not have any interest in Crowder with Prince at the 3 unless they like Crowder at the 4(doubtful).
I would also consider moving Frye's expiring instead of Crowder if they prefer the cap relief.

KKen had a coniption fit and 'almost' got the ban hammer over there.

When it comes to going over to other boards, we need to be respectful. Calling out another fan base on their deals and what they propose on their board is just asking for trouble. We do the same as well here.
I'm not saying don't go over to their boards, I am saying that if you do go over just kindly state why Atlanta wouldn't do it (Atlanta is very high on Collins and feel he was a steal at his draft place. He has been very good both offensively and defensively as a rookie (top 10 in rookies in ppg, 2nd in fg%, , top 5 in rpg even though he plays 8 minutes less than the ones above him). Crowder is a nice piece, but I'm not sure if he is too much better than Prince now. The deal doens't make a ton of sense for Atlanta to give up a promising rookie).
Just think about the posts.

But what we can do is post those deals over here and talk about them here. The deal is bad...really bad. Collins has been tearing it up, just wish he could stay out of foul trouble and get some more playing time.

Atlanta passes. They don't have an IMMEDIATE NEED to shed Baze's or Plumlee's contract at the cost of including 1st round picks. Hawks won't be players for high end free agents this offseason, so they'll use the $25+ mil in capspace to sign value short term contracts or rent the capspace for 1st round picks.
Hawks aren't waiting 4 years to add a possible top 10 pick to their top pick this year. Collins and the 2018 pick starts the rebuild process now.

Yeah. You asked a good question and made a fair point.
I remember Schlenk stating that it took Budenholzer some time to wrap his head around not re-signing Millsap.
I imagine this would be just as difficult for Bud to endorse.

I'm sorry are we talking about Kent Bazemore? And we are talking about trading him would be as hard as trading Millsap?????
I'm sorry have I been watching the same Kent Bazemore who runs around the court like a chicken all day for the past 4 years and is having a better year this year because he's on our squad that features hardly any vets so he's getting numbers through his minutes???? That Kent Bazemore.
Bud won't bat a eyelid! I'm sorry but Baze is being showcased hard. Crunch the numbers all you want..once a headless chicken always a headless chicken.
That's on the court...Baze is awesome off it.

I don't blame him, I blame you for entering the discussion as if he's not just cleverly putting yet another anti-Budz opinion out there.
