Too much for Davis!
Atlanta gets a steal
#3 I could see happening.

09 May 2025 14:26:15
ATL/MIL

ATL get Giannis Antetokounmpo

Pg Young
Sg Daniels
Sf Johnson
Pf Giannis
Ce Capela (or sign a fa)

MIL get Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu, Georges Niang & 3 unprotected 1st round picks + 2 pick swaps

Pg Lillard
Sg Trent Jr
Sf Risacher
Pf Kuzma
Ce Okongwu

09 May 2025 17:58:09
I don't know if it's enough but I think it's a pretty solid package. Capela a FA so sign Lopez-would need shooting anyway.

08 May 2025 03:21:56
Cavs get: Tari Eason, Dyson Daniels, Reed Sheppard, Terrance Mann and '27 and '29 frp via Suns
Rockets get: Donovan Mitchell and Onyeka Okongwu
Hawks get: Alperen Sengun and Jock Landale
Pistons get: Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 via Bucks, '27 via Nuggets)

Why?
Cleveland adds size and defense. They also save a ton of money.
Rockets add a superstar number one option and a good big man.
Hawks add a star big man who is a good fit next to Trae Young.
Pistons get some players who are familiar with Bickerstaff and some 2nds.

02 May 2025 13:12:14
Atl: Morant
Memphis:t Young

04 May 2025 12:59:22
No one wants Morant teams know trouble will lol low this guy.

29 Apr 2025 23:25:58
Rockets - Hawks - Bucks

Rockets: Giannis & Trae
Hawks: Ja Green, Sheppard & 2 1sts from Rockets
Bucks: VanVleet, Sengun & 3 1sts from Rockets

Rockets new roster

Trae Young
Amen Thompson
Dillon Brooks
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jabari Smith Jr

30 Apr 2025 16:54:09
That's not close for Giannis.

05 May 2025 23:31:16
Bro is definitely a rockets fan.

24 Mar 2025 13:58:36
Hawks - Kings

Hawks get Sabonis

Young
Daniels
Risacher
Johnson
Sabonis
- a team similar to what the Nuggets have

Kings get Okongwu, Mann, Krejci & 3 1sts

Monk-Ellis
Lavine-Mann-Carter
Derozan-Laravia
Murray-Krejci
Okongwu-Lyles

24 Mar 2025 21:18:09
Does Sabonis really fit Atlanta's identity?

25 Mar 2025 08:49:13
It's a risk giving ip 3 first for Sabonis

Not sure it's a good move for the Kings to. It's difficult to go in a rebuilt with Z Lavine. They wil probaly win+30 games and get a late lottery pick.

22 Mar 2025 15:56:08
Offseason

Suns-Hawks-lakers

Suns- rissacher, mann, kleber exp, 2 hawks 1st, 2 lakers 2nd, pick swap lakers & hawks

Hawks- booker

Young/bufkin
Booker
Daniels

Okongwu

22 Mar 2025 17:04:05
if Pistons offer Ivey and two 1sts for Booker u definitely do that.

05 Mar 2025 15:23:36
Off-season moves for raptors. Pending draft. For the purpose of this will assume no pick.

Raptors need to add much more size. Boucher will have to go. Ingram hasn't played yet. And Barrett is playing really well. The only thing I can see happen that makes sense is trading quickley and either Ingram or barrett for an allstart guard. Player like Booker or Young someone who can really take over a game for them. Hawks could use a restart Young and Barnes would be great. Let's do it

Hawks get Ingram quickly and dick and future first

Raptors get Young and Capela.

05 Mar 2025 16:12:54
I like the target for the Raptors, but you'll need to add more if you want to get Young.

05 Mar 2025 18:21:01
Atlanta could have gotten BI in the Murray trade if they wanted him.

30 Apr 2025 11:44:09
Obviously picks woukd be involved but I think it would work maybe Booker is the better fit.

11 Feb 2025 20:47:48
LAL short term center solution is to sign Alex Len, they can use a big body to cover (atleast) Jokic along with Hayes & Vanderbilt.

Then in the offseason they could target the likes of Turner, Gafford, Drummond even Capela

10 Feb 2025 23:24:03
Orlando: T Young
Hawks: C Anthony+ Isaac+ 1rnd pick Denver 25+ 1rnd pick Orl 25-27-29-31

05 Feb 2025 19:24:09
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter and Larry Nance Jr.
Hawks get: Max Strus, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs add a wing with size and a back-up forward.
Hawks receive a solid package and a high variable first.

05 Feb 2025 18:56:31
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter and Cody Zeller
Hawks get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs add a legit wing with size and a back-up big.
Hawks add a couple veterans and a high variable first.

02 Feb 2025 03:18:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter
Hawks get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)
Pistons get: Vít Krejčí

Why?
Cavs add a tall wing, and we duck the tax.
Hawks get cap relief and a few seconds.
Pistons add another shooter on a great contract.

02 Feb 2025 18:58:08
Can’t see this happening. You are offering two players that are substantially below the talent level from the Hawk’s you are getting in return. They cost about the same this year and could then leave. So it’s really just a salary dump for Cleveland. Lastly, the two draft picks are of little value since both will likely be near the end of the second round.

21 Jan 2025 11:21:58
Deal 1)Atlanta sends Capela (exp contract),Nance Jr(exp contract)Hunter or Bogdanovic if Bogdanovic add a future 1st. If Hunter no pick added.

Portland sends DeAndre Ayton,Jerami Grant

Deal 2)

Atlanta sends Capela,Nance,Hunter, Bogdanovic,Kobe Bufkin filler players contracts so the money works and a future first.

Portland sends Ayton,Grant,Afernee Simons. This allows Portland expiring contracts,removed log jam at key young acquired positions notably (C)Clingan and (SG)Shaedon

Helps Atlanta get bigger and stronger in the front court,Gives Trae a true pick and roll big that can shoot from the perimeter. Grant a grimey playoff forward depth at SF and PF. A legit scorer at (SG)with Simons although a little undersized

21 Jan 2025 14:09:57
First trade seems better but it can be simpler. ATL does not need Ayton, since they can have Okongwu at 14m as a starter.

ATL: Capela (exp), Bogdanovic (exp next year) and Krejci

POR: Jerami & D. Reath (to make money work)

Jerami's value given his contract and the season is having is low, and given his age POR needs to trade him. Cap Flexibility a 1st and a flier on a young role player is enough value.

21 Jan 2025 20:55:01
The Hawks are not winning a title with Okungwu as a starter. He is undersized, can't shoot, doesn't run the pick and roll with Trae like he needs from a big. Too many Hawks fans don't understand the importance of Trae having a pick and roll big that can shoot from the perimeter.

22 Jan 2025 09:47:07
Only problem is that Ayton can't shoot from the perimeter, he is overpaid and lacks the drive to be a 3rd optin. If Okongwu can bulk up a bit his size is not an issue (see Adebayo, Draymond, Tristan Thompson) . He has the defensive potential to be a starter on a championship team, while Jalen Johnson can be the P&R Big on offense instead.

22 Jan 2025 13:35:19
Ayton can shoot from the mid-range. I do see his lack of desire sometimes but his 7'1" frame against Giannis and other bigger forwards and centers is the biggest need. We just agree to disagree on Okungwu he is barely 6'9 his effort and hustle is great but he basically a young Capela which ain't saying much. Good role player good salary but you not winning with him.

08 Jan 2025 17:42:26
Here are some trades generated from the BasketballGM CPU for three Raptors players.

Bruce Brown:

ATL offers Bogdan Bogdanovic and Mo Gueye

DET offers Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, and Wendell Moore Jr.

MIA offers Terry Rozier


Kelly Olynyk:

CHA offers Nick Richards and Vasilijie Micic

UTA offers Patty Mills, Drew Eubanks, and Isaiah Collier

WAS offers Richaun Holmes


Chris Boucher:

MEM offers Brandon Clarke

MIL offers Pat Connaughton and Tyler Smith (is this legal?)

Which one of these is the most realistic?

10 Jan 2025 20:52:11
Not sure if realistic, perhaps favors Toronto, but Olynyk for Richards and Micic is a pretty nice trade for the Raptors.

08 Jan 2025 05:56:56
Ok revised Hawks & Heat deal for Adebayo

Atlanta - Bam Adebayo, Keshad Johnson, Duncan Robinson

Young - Bufkin
Daniels - Bogdanovic - Matthews
Hunter - Robinson - Roddy - Johnson
Johnson - Krejci
Adebayo - Nance - Zeller

Miami - Zacharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu, Clint Capela, Mohammed Gueye & 2 1st round picks + pick swap

Herro - Rozier
Jacquez - Burks
Risacher - Highsmith
Okongwu - Love
Ware - Capela

09 Jan 2025 20:43:53
It's a fair offer. The first overall pick, plus some more players and assets. Might be a hard offer to beat.

07 Jan 2025 07:49:46
Atlanta Hawks could be a darkhorse contender if they can get an upgrade at Center. With Miami's looming rebuild, could Bam be available?

Atlanta needs to keep their core of Young-Daniels-Risacher-Johnson

- Adding Bam to that could complete a balance line up
- Okongwu is a young center/pf on a friendly contract that they can develop alongside Ware


Trade:

Atlanta - Bam Adebayo, Keshad Johnson
- sign or trade for a back up pg

Young - sign or trade
Daniels - Bogdanovic - Matthews
Risacher - Roddy - Johnson
Johnson - Hunter - Krejci
Adebayo - Nance Jr

Miami - Clint Capela (exp), Onyeka Okongwu, Kobe Bufkin, 2 1st round picks, pick swap

Rozier - Bufkin
Herro - Robinson - Burks
Jacquez - Highsmith
Okongwu - Jovic - Love
Ware - Capela

07 Jan 2025 16:11:43
If Atlanta wants Bam while keeping Trae, Dyson, Risacher and Johnson, they'll have to give up way more firsts.

07 Jan 2025 17:01:49
I just don’t see any possible way that Atlanta gets Bam and doesn’t give up Risacher. It just feels like the only option.

07 Jan 2025 17:57:41
@Bmiller66, I agree. They still have Hunter as well; just hope he stays healthy.

04 Jan 2025 11:55:09
My idea:

Grimes makes ++ 20ppg as a start, I like him a lot - but Butler is a beast in the play offs.

ATL needs a SG and hence we have a trade:

ATL S&T (extend and trade) Grimes at 4y 80m with 23/21/19/17m a year, Kleber
DAL Butler, Love, Burks, Johnson
MIA Prosper, Marshall, 1st, Capela, Nance, Powell, Morris

Next three in a row : )

04 Jan 2025 14:30:50
Johnson? From ATL? Are you kidding us.

04 Jan 2025 16:05:56
Johnson from Miami, to make it work (6 players out and 4 in) .

04 Jan 2025 18:47:52
The deadline to extend Grimes has passed. He will be entering restricted free agency after the season.

04 Jan 2025 21:21:39
No, Mavs can give him a ce.

05 Jan 2025 15:08:31
Just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic for Miami and Atl. Most of these players are dancing lemons, and Dallas doesn't need the headache who is Jimmy Butler.

20 Dec 2024 23:55:07
Report that the Nuggets might be more willing to deal MPJ for 2 starting caliber players rather than getting a star in return:

Hawks might be a good destination:

Hawks add: Michael Porter Jr & 1st round pick from Denver

Denver adds: Deandre Hunter & Bogdan Bogdanovic

Both these players are playing well for the Hawks off the bench and they can thrive as well playing alongside the MVP

Murray / Westbrook
Bogdanovic / Braun / Tyson
Hunter / Watson
Gordon / Strawther / Saric
Jokic / Jordan / Nnaji

21 Dec 2024 21:53:13
You have to say which first round pick it is because it could make all the difference in the world. A 2026 lottery protected? A 2030 unprotected? Otherwise, there's no possible way to even have an opinion.

10 Dec 2024 15:00:03
Hawks - Jazz

Hawks : Lauri Markkanen

Young - Free Agent
Daniels - Matthews - Roddy
Risacher - Bogdanovic
Johnson - Hunter
Markkanen - Okongwu

Jazz : Clint Capela, Larry Nance Jr, Kobe Bufkin & 3 1st round picks

11 Dec 2024 17:47:43
Seems a little light for Utah, depending on which picks are included here. I think Utah asks for Jalen Johnson or Okongwu.
