Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[Winter]

Hawks fans saying their owners are a little impatient and impulsive. I think the owners do not want to miss the play-offs, when they do not control their own pick.

The fans themselves want nothing to do with AD, unless it´s literally for nothing.

I feel certain Atlanta does not want to include any picks. On the other hand, I think our fans probably expect at least two first round picks. That's a wide gap.

Some where in the middle may be a first and a second round pick, but I would think the Mavs would just turn that down. These picks are contingent on the quality of players, how badly Atlanta wants to part with Trae or Porzingas, and maybe taxes, contracts, and assorted issues.

A third team probably changes all this, but it's hard to visualize.
