> The Atlanta Hawks were considered the team with the most trade interest in Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam over the summer.
> While talks for Siakam centered around De’Andre Hunter, AJ Griffin, and draft pick compensation never materialized, there was a young player the Hawks didn’t want to include that’s worth noting should the teams revisit trade discussions.
> The Hawks were unwilling to part with rookie guard Kobe Bufkin in trade talks for Siakam, league sources told HoopsHype. Coach Quin Snyder is said to be high on the former Michigan guard, who averaged 19.3 points on 51.9 percent shooting overall and 45 percent from beyond the arc with 5.6 rebounds in his final eight games as a Wolverine.

if Siakam had committed to extending, I would’ve done this in a heartbeat ngl. I’m sure the FO know more than we do tho lol
So they were willing to trade AJ over Bufkin? That’s interesting
That’s about the absolute max I would be okay with giving up, assuming he does not re-sign with the Hawks. So if they’re high on Kobe, I can see why they didn’t. But I’m also pretty low on Siakam so
Thank God is all I got to say, it would be such a poverty move to trade assets for someone who doesn’t move the needle
