Guy must have built a mansion on some Indian burial grounds or something.
Lakers might be cooked. Can’t believe NO getting another lotto pick. Minny going to make the play in for sure between GS and LA injuries.

I have no idea about anything with this, but how does trading a coach work? We still have Snyder through next season if I understand correctly. Nate McMillan seems to be on the a very hot seat in Atlanta, I wonder if Snyder would be a target for them given how he got the Utah offense to be all-time around a lob catching big and a ball dominant guard.
Obviously don't think he would be a 1st round kind of target like Doc was for the Clips in 2013, but I wonder if he might be included in a larger ATL/UTA trade if it were to happen

Well, at least I don't have to pretend to cheer for the Lakers anymore. If the Pels win Wemby or Scoot with the pick then I will be so frustrated.

Why would the hawks give anything of value for a respected but middling coach who isn’t even the coach of this team?
I'm seeing Toronto might be blowing it up. Can anyone come up with a trade that makes sense for them and us?
I’d be interested in getting OG or Trent. OG would likely take a couple firsts. Not sure if it’s 2 or 3. Trent I would send out salary filler and a first for.

OG would be a dream. There is a lot of youth on the team and who wpuld be come available would be interesting.
Yeah, they definitely need to blow it up.
Hawks move Travis Schlenk to an advisory role and apparently one reason for this is that Tony Ressler wants John Collins traded (salary/production reasons) and Schlenk wouldnt make it happen.
So might be Collins is actually gonna be moved in this window.

We should be in the mix for him. We have a lot of contracts to help facilitate a deal.

Strange he mentions John Collins in the tweet... weird.

Let's hope not.
This whole Collins thing remains a mystery to me. IMO, you should only bring in guys like him if there's a very clear positional need. With Collins, it's more like... "This is our chance! Let's just get him and figure out the rest later. STOP BOTHERING ME WITH FACTS!!!"
It's not like he's an overall "asset" either. The Hawks have been dangling him for ages without any success. Why should we be the team that finally bites?
Besides, we need more playmaking and ballhandling, not bigs. The backcourt is a total mess now that Conley has pretty much fallen off a cliff after his injury.

"Advisory role". So basically he got fired but had too many years on his contract, so they would rather have him sit down at home and keep the checks coming (the KOC or DL special). I wish I could be a GM one day
I dont know what you mean... We literally dont have 4s. Thats why Rudy Gay plays so much. KO is also not exactly an allaround player. We also have only 1 forward who is a legit threat to attack the paint (Lauri)... Beasley, Fontecchio etc are more perimeter catch and shoot guys. I have some hope for Vando at 4 though.
At guard we got NAW, Sexton and THT behind Conley and Clarkson. Id like to see better defense and more playmaking from our backcourt, but forward depth is a way more pressing need.
Word is Collins hasnt been traded because Schlenk actually didnt want to trade him and was asking the moon and heavens. He might come on a discount now.

Future Jazz man John Collins just whiffed on a game-deciding rebound AND got buried under the Bulls' dogpile. Not great

At this rate Ainge should be able to acquire him dirt cheap if they are willing to take on the contract. I'd offer Gay+Vando+ one of the guards we aren't planning to resign. Take it or leave it.
His confidence might be shot at this point but fitwise he still has to be an upgrade over Vanderbilt. It's just a matter of stomaching that contract which is why he's likely considered "buy low" at this point. That player option in '25-26 isn't good. Hawks held on to him way too long especially if they were going to only feature their 2 high usage guards.
Otherwise I think Danny ends up drafting the same archetype (GG Jackson?) who will need 2-3 years of development.
If they do acquire someone like Collins they could focus their draft on finding playmaking wings in the Anthony Black mold.

The only thing worse then not tanking correctly is spending assets for a win now player that won’t help win games but have a seriously bloated contract. It blows my mind so many here are so hungry for Collins trade.
