Pass.
Len is currently the starting Center (pending FAcy).
Hawks just drafted 2 wings in the draft plus Huerter last year. I think we are good on the wings. The plan is to develop them.
Brown is a RFA next season.

What about Len for Yabusele and 2020 MIL pick?

Why? And then how much are you willing to pay him as a RFA?
No, I'm really kidding.

Eggsactly. Sometimes @jamallo just be sayin' stuff.
Kidding @jamallio, don't go reporting me to the mods again. I know it was you!
On a serious note, we need to see what we have in Hunter/Reddish before making a deal like that.

We have a couple studs in Hunter and Reddish. Reddish is gonna be a 40/20/20 guy...-Supes
He is gonna be a Hershel Walker met Wayne Gretzky met Greg Norman...
I just hope he’s not Marvin Williams. I already got 2 Marvin Williams jerseys both purchased in 2005, I got a Cam jersey on its way...

I don't think they were his draft preferences! Or am I misremembering?

Jarrett Culver.
I heart Jarrett Culver.

He reminds me a bit of Bradley Beal...but is a better facilitator.
(I've even heard comps to Brandon Roy.)

Bleacher ReportThe Player Atlanta Should Already Be Targeting at the Trade Deadline
Myles Turner
The Atlanta Hawks are close to constructing their next foundation.
Trae Young is the defense-bending catalyst who might soon be elite as a scorer, distributor and pull-from-anywhere sharpshooter. Kevin Huerter holds down the other backcourt post with solid size and a better stroke. Rookie De'Andre Hunter checks the all-important three-and-D box. John Collins is the extra-bouncy big man who's nearly an automatic 20 points and 10 boards every night.
But unless Alex Len changes from who he's been through six NBA seasons, this roster still needs a long-term answer at the 5. Given that Collins is neither a floor-spacer nor a shot-blocker, Atlanta's ideal big man would do both.
Myles Turner is one of the few players who scratches each itch. Just last season, he tallied a league-leading 2.7 blocks and a career-high 1.0 triples per game on 38.8 percent shooting. Even better, he's signed through 2022-23 and young enough to fit the timeline of Atlanta's core.
While the Indiana Pacers probably aren't rushing to trade Turner, they haven't answered questions about his long-term viability alongside Domantas Sabonis. In fact, this frontcourt grew more congested when Indy added center Goga Bitadze on draft night.
If there is a price point that gets Turner out of the Circle City, the Hawks should do everything within reason to meet it.
