Even if they like someone in the draft they probably can get a better offer than #7 + Bledsoe somewhere else.

I am at the point that I trust Toronto's front office and their development.    I know there are some mixed evaluation and wings are preferred in the draft, but I just think Toronto would zero in on Duran.   Maybe I am wrong.   Adding him to a front court with Barnes, Siakem, and Precious just feels like the beginning of a monster front court.   Maybe they can ask for Nassir Little too.  He sort of fits the Raptors type.

That just sounds like an odd move for Hawks if Barnes is the main piece.  I just wouldn't get that.

I am really interested to see what the Hawks roster looks like when next season opens up.

I don't think JC is going to cost as much as people here have been speculating. We'll see. 

I truly think ATL needs to trade JC because he is unhappy and not a good fit right now. They aren't going to be able to maximize the return on his talent.

Quote:For Collins, Atlanta’s known motivation to move the talented forward has swirled around the league, with San Antonio, Sacramento and Utah—in a potential swap for Gobert—considered the most legitimate potential landing spots for the 24-year-old. Portland’s Wednesday night acquisition of Grant from the Detroit Pistons, and the Trail Blazers’ priority of dealing the No. 7 pick for Anunoby, would seem to make Portland a less likely destination for Collins, despite frequent trade conversations between the Blazers’ and Hawks’ front offices.

Quote:Should New York ultimately fall short in its efforts to lure Brunson away from the Dallas Mavericks, Malcolm Brogdon is widely expected to be the Knicks’ next point guard target this offseason, sources told B/R, not the splashier headline name that is Kyrie Irving.

Quote:The market for Pacers center Myles Turner is said to feature Minnesota, Toronto and Charlotte. New York has long registered interest in Turner as well, but the Knicks are only considered to be a serious Turner suitor if Mitchell Robinson departs in free agency.

Quote:Philadelphia has continued to explore Tobias Harris trade packages. The Sixers have called a healthy portion of teams to gauge the value for each of Harris, Danny Green and Matisse Thybulle, sources said, and have called several teams specifically searching for a first-round pick in exchange for Thybulle as part of a three-team deal framework to land an impact veteran rotation player.

Quote:Indiana, Utah, Boston and Detroit have all been described as teams looking to acquire picks in the back half of the first round.

Quote:Utah is searching for a first-round pick to move any non-Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert rotation player. Royce O’Neale has registered a bevy of trade interest from around the league.

Quote:Phoenix has called rivals to measure Jae Crowder’s value on the trade market, sources said, while the Suns have been linked once again to Eric Gordon. Phoenix held discussions with Houston to acquire Gordon, a former teammate of Chris Paul with the Rockets, back at February’s trade deadline. Phoenix is also said to be searching for a second-round selection.

Quote:Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic remains a hot name on the trade market. OKC holds his draft rights, and Nikola Jokic has been said to be a driving factor in Denver’s interest to obtain the EuroLeague MVP. San Antonio, Milwaukee and Chicago have also been mentioned as legitimate suitors.
