NOLA pick and he’s yours ATL!
Not trading AD unless we get picks and Zacc. If the hawks fo refuse to give up draft compensation hang up the phone
Risacher and the pelicans pick or we hanging up the phone
give me that Pelicans pick bitch
Guess the waiting game has officially started? Is Shams speculating or is he asserting that Atlanta actually is targeting AD?
LFG. Risacher would be nice but if we can just get that pick, I’ll be pumped.
If Shams is already tweeting like this, I’m going to assume there’s already the framework of a deal agreed upon
I want that Pelicans pick. Period. That said, the Hawks can’t possibly be in win now mode if they’re trading Trae can they?
yeah no fucking way we get that pick now. we have no leverage
We’re not getting the Pelicans pick. Not sure who needs to hear this besides the 7 other commenters in here.
Idk on what world people think AD is worth a frp and Zak. Like AD has a 63mil PO. If the mavs dont trade him we are fucked.
5 years ago the sports world was hell bent on proving who won the Luka/trae draft day trade and now they are both on different teams…absolutely insane
Here we go.
Needs to be Risacher and their 26 first (from Cleveland). Anything less would be a failure imo.
The NOP pick is a pipe dream unfortunately.
At least now Hawks fans can quit saying they won the Luka draft day trade.
It’s an interesting trade because, unless more official trade details come out, it doesn’t seem any picks were involved. Wizards have 6 picks in the 2026 draft!. Could the trade be expanded and the Mavs get draft picks from the Wizards in deal with AD going to Hawks?
The number of delusional kids in this sub thinking the Pels pick is an option is hilarious.
They’re trading for AD. You don’t just trade Trae Young for CJ’s expiring contract.
I think we should really push for the Pels pick if this is the case
It’s exciting to see what comes after this, but I for one ain’t holding my breath for that Pels pick.
But then again, we’ve seen far stupider trades happen round these parts.
So who won the Luka-Trae trade?
Welcome home KP
“Next several months?”
Deadline is less than a month away
Shams keeps mentioning on ESPN, AD being that big name they are going after. You gotta get it done before Rich Paul starts making more of a fuss about an extension. If they have no intentions of extending him, which they shouldn’t, get the trade done. The more Klutch brings up an extension, the tougher they will make it on us. It’s the Klutch playbook.
