There goes Kyle Korver. There Hawks reportedly will receive a 2019 protected first-round pick and Mike Dunleavy in deal, according to reports. Think: Almost any Braves trade from the last two years.
...from a basketball perspective, a deal makes sense. The Hawks were on a four-game winning streak following Wednesday’s win in Orlando but their 19-16 record did not suggest to the front office, including coach and team president Mike Budenholzer, that the team was on track to do anything special in the playoffs. Korver was in the final year of his contract (just over $5.2 million) and was not going to be re-signed.
...it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Hawks begin the rebuilding process now and that dealing Millsap, who is coveted by contenders like Toronto, Boston and Oklahoma City, could bring back valuable assets.
Thoughts?
Predictions?
Concerns?
You guys hoping for a retool or a full rebuild?
Should we strip it all down to Dennis and KB24?
Who is the most important player now? Dennis?
Do we have any cornerstone/building block players at all?
Can we still make the playoffs if we lose Millsap and Korver? Do we even want that?
