  4. Seems like every year we get hot right before the deadline and we don’t make big moves. I wanted to see Capela moved for a better fit at C in Quins system but that’s not gonna happen now. Hunter is a negative asset and probably couldn’t pass a physical anyway. I don’t want to see Bogi or DJ traded so for me if we aren’t breaking up the core then we need to use the JC trade exception and bring in a difference maker.

  5. It’s more likely we don’t trade Dejounte than trading him for the one player + two FRP’s the Hawks have been asking for.

  7. If we trade DJM, we WILL be trading Trae the year later. There’s no way we become a top 5 team with just Trae and a bunch of mid players and a few conditional draft picks. He’s good but not that good. Another losing season and Trae will be gone.

    We even needed DJM to beat GSM and he’s won at least 7 games for us this year.

    As far as Hunter, Capela and Bogi, they should be traded for players that fix Quin’s system. IMHO.

  8. Four game win streak negates a season and a half of mid ball. Galaxy brain front office and ownership

  10. Honestly if the hawks are able to get Hunter out of here for gallery filler then I would consider that a win.

    If the hawks allocated that 20 million elsewhere we would be in so much better shape

  11. If they are really letting four games alter their stance then they haven’t learned anything from the past. Remember when you said you regret the team standing pat Tony? And you are going to sell of pieces in the offseason anyways because you are cheap. Just get this done. Stop with the leaking that helps every team but the hawks. It’s been there through 3 coaches and 2 GMs. Hmmm. I wonder where it’s coming from.

  14. call it copium but i’m sure this just means they not trading dj for less than they think he’s worth which they are delusional for expecting to receive wat they gave but i don’t think this means capela isn’t getting moved

  17. Think people are missing the point here…

    Lebron uses Windhorst as his mouthpiece. This is Lebron telling his FO to stop posturing and get a deal done. Murray is the most prominent out there but we have others that LAL has had rumored interest in as well (Capela is the one who jumps immediately to mind).

  18. We may be reading a bit too much into this. Teams are offering a single first for Murray, that’s not a trade we should be taking.

    This could just be posturing from our FO, trying to get a better deal from other teams; maybe we’re trying to diminish other teams’ leverage to get more picks/better players.

  19. I would love this team to make some moves – but I don’t see them breaking up the team with current rumors. Think “breaking up the team” would involve one of the two scenarios 

    1. Trading DJM or Trae (Trae is almost certainly not happening)
    2. Trading at least 2 of the following: Bogi, Hunter, Capela, OO, JJ (also almost certainly not happening)

    I haven’t seen a DJM rumor yet that makes the team better now or over the next 3-4 years. There’s no incentive to not get better over that span since the Spurs have our unprotected picks and I don’t think we’re finding a guy in FA with the same impact for similar money. Also don’t think a couple of heavily protected FRPs make the team much better after that timeframe.Think he has more value in the future than his current market indicates

    Id love to see a move that changes the roster involving both Capela and Hunter (since I do think we could spend money and get better there in FA) I just don’t know if there’s much of a market for those two

    Could easily see just one of the guys from that second list being moved, but I don’t think that rises to the level of “breaking it up” – I just don’t see enough of a market for us to make more than 1
