[Shams] Moving Young also provides Atlanta with added financial flexibility to pursue a large salary over the next several months – with Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis as a prime in-season trade target.

  1. Not trading AD unless we get picks and Zacc. If the hawks fo refuse to give up draft compensation hang up the phone

  2. Guess the waiting game has officially started? Is Shams speculating or is he asserting that Atlanta actually is targeting AD?

  3. If Shams is already tweeting like this, I’m going to assume there’s already the framework of a deal agreed upon

  4. 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?

  5. We’re not getting the Pelicans pick. Not sure who needs to hear this besides the 7 other commenters in here.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. At least now Hawks fans can quit saying they won the Luka draft day trade.

  10. 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?

  11. The number of delusional kids in this sub thinking the Pels pick is an option is hilarious.

  12. They’re trading for AD. You don’t just trade Trae Young for CJ’s expiring contract.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.
