Atlanta Hawks Rumours

25 Sep 2016 16:43:29
Atl- Indy


Indy: Millsap
Atl: M Ellis+ T Young.

23 Sep 2016 19:53:27
Bucks Hawks

Moose for Splitter and Korver

Hawks add an extra big man who can score and keep Howard from logging to many minutes

Bucks add extra shooting and 2/ 3 combo player.

23 Sep 2016 23:17:39
I like it for my bucks, but realistically hawks say hell no.

24 Sep 2016 15:23:22
I like this idea.
could benefit both teams indeed.

22 Sep 2016 02:39:02
CLE/ OKC/ ATL

CLE get Millsap and Singler

Pg Irving/ Williams
Sg Smith/ Shumpert/ Singler
Sf James/ Dunleavy
Pf Millsap/ Frye
Ce Thompson/ Andersen

OKC get Kevin Love

Pg Westbrook
Sg Oladipo
Sf Roberson
Pf Love
Ce Adams/ Kanter

ATL get Ilyasova, Sabonis and 1st from OKC

Pg Shroeder/ Jack
Sg Korver/ THJ
Sf Bazemore/ Prince
Pf Ilyasova/ Sabonis/ Scott
Ce Howard/ Muscala.

22 Sep 2016 06:44:30
Make it be Kyle Korver to Cleveland and Kyle Singler to Atlanta.

22 Sep 2016 09:01:04
Millsap is worth more then that.

22 Sep 2016 10:43:14
Millsap is worth more, but he's aging and he's going a to be a free agent next year.

I like this trade for Cleveland
I believe OKC will be better with Love (The guy can still ball)

Not sure about Atlanta. the combo Millsap- D12 could be great.
But Ilyasova- D12 could also be a good combo and i believe Sabonis has some potential.

22 Sep 2016 17:20:55
The Hawks would rather have Kevin Love in this deal so they would probably try to cut out OKC. I have always liked the Millsap for Love idea. Cave get a better defender and better play maker. Hawks get younger and spread the floor for Howard.

22 Sep 2016 20:43:02
okc robs everyone else I like it.

22 Sep 2016 01:48:30
ATL/ SAC/ MIL

ATL get Rudy Gay

SAC get MCW and protected 1st ATL (lottery)

MIL get Kyle Korver and 2nd from SAC

i think this is fair for all teams. gay will be a fit with the Hawks will slide Bazemore to starting SG. Kings might revive MCW's carrer with their young bigs and Bucks get a vet shooter to help their youngsters . picks are sweeteners.

23 Sep 2016 04:06:23
USA take out the pics maybe.

14 Sep 2016 04:11:15
Pistons-Clippers-Hawks

Pistons- B Griffin

Clippers- P Millsap, S Johnson, 1st rd pick Pistons

Hawks- T Harris, 1st rd pick Pistons.

14 Sep 2016 14:14:56
Don't like the trade for the Pistons. Don't think its bad value wise (Pistons will likely stay in playoffs next few years so picks aren't great) but I don't like the fit of Drummond and Griffin and don't think it fits Van Gundy's system where he'd prefer a stretch 4 to compliment Drummond.

The Clippers I love this trade for. Millsap although older than Griffin I think due to his skillset would bring more to the Clippers on both sides of the ball. Stanley Johnson is a great sf prospect that could help sure up this position which has been one of major holes in Clippers for past few years.

For the Hawks this isn't a great return but given Millsap is going to be a FA and the Hawks have uncertain direction it wouldn't be an awful deal to get younger.

15 Sep 2016 09:29:30
Are you serious?

Tobias Harris (good and young player, starter), Stanley Johonson (bright future) and two 1st for Blake Griffin, a player who fights with employers and will be free agent next year? No thanks!!

21 Sep 2016 11:54:48
Kings way for Reggie Jackson to get to Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers rebuilt is choosing with Reggie Jackson as leading.

Butler J captain. asociated with Derozan and Jackson. as lieutenant . upper level in Lakers corner's

Contract long ways keep your eyes open

36.

14 Sep 2016 02:35:09
Hawks-Raptors

Hawks- D Carroll, J Sullinger, 2nd round pick

Raptors- Millsap.

14 Sep 2016 14:39:29
I think Millsap would be perfect fit for Raptors but it'll take more than that to get him. I think they'll have to add someone like Ross, Powell, Poeltl or a future 1st to make a more convincing offer.

15 Sep 2016 02:55:47
That way too much for Millsap no way the Raptors pay Carrol, a 2nd, Sullinger and either Ross or Powell or Poeltl that a ridiculous thought to even think they would do that what a joke.

13 Sep 2016 13:01:31
Atl-LA-Indy-Cle

Cle:Millsap+ L Williams

Indy: Bazemore

Atl: M Ellis+ K Love

LAL: Shumpert+ 1rnd pick Indy.

14 Sep 2016 03:53:48
La would take that and run.

14 Sep 2016 05:09:23
I don't see Williams getting the Lakers Shumpert and a first. I would do it.

14 Sep 2016 05:55:58
La isn't giving enough and should be taken out.

12 Sep 2016 02:11:36
CLE/ ATL

CLE get Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver

ATL get Kevin Love.

12 Sep 2016 10:04:30
Millsap would be a better fit than K Love
But i think cleveland is gonne say no. Love is younger and on a good contract.
I also think Korver is donne. Cleveland could do this, If they believe he has one more year left.

12 Sep 2016 15:32:24
I can c Cleveland making this trade to get underneath the tax bracket. love and Thompson combine salary is like 45 million that's insane. there no big drop off in production wise between live and Millsap just age. Millsap does not have the injury history like love so that's a big plus.

12 Sep 2016 22:35:15
How is Kevin Love on a good contract he's been more of a role player than a star on the Cavs and he's getting 20+ million.

13 Sep 2016 15:56:33
Kevin Love's career has taken a turn, yes he makes $$ but his role has changed with Cleveland and he's not being used the way he should be.
LBJ will somehow have Love traded before the deadline, because we all know who runs the show in Cleveland.

10 Sep 2016 13:29:26
Cle-Atl-Indy

Cle: P Millsap+ 1rnd pick Indy

Atl: K Love+ M Ellis

Indy: Bazemore.

10 Sep 2016 16:03:55
I think Millsap would be a better fit on Cavs then love but love has more trade value cause he is younger and locked up long term. I don't think Cavs would want a pick but another player with millsap. I don't like Indy as part of this trade. Millsap and sefolosha maybe for love I think could get it done.

10 Sep 2016 18:30:47
Love has only slightly more value than Millsap though.

11 Sep 2016 04:24:54
I think Millsap would resign with Cleveland for a 100k 4y contract
The Cavs can use the pick in another trade, to get a deeper bench.

10 Sep 2016 08:10:14
DET-CHI-ATL

Pistons : Jimmy Butler

PG Jackson
SG Butler
SF Johnson
PF Morris
CE Drummond

Chicago : Paul Millsap, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Korver, 1st round pick Pistons, 2nd round pick Pistons

PG Rondo-Grant
SG Wade-Korver
SF KCP-McDermott
PF Millsap-Mirotic
CE Lopez-Portis

Hawks : Tony Snell, Tobias Harris, Taj Gibson

PG Shroeder
SG Bazemore
SF Harris
PF Gibson
CE Howard.

10 Sep 2016 11:55:03
Millsap would be a great fit for Chicago, the problem is he's 31 and a free agent next year. Butler is on a cheap contract for three more years.

The Hawks should also give the combo Millsap-D12 a chance, they're going to be good.

12 Sep 2016 22:39:56
So, KCP, Harris, one 1st pick and one 2nd pick for Jimmy Butler? No thanks!!

10 Sep 2016 02:29:14
MIL/ MEM/ ATL

MIL get Marc Gasol and Paul Millsap

Pg Delly
Sg Middleton
Sf Giannis
Pf Millsap
Ce Gasol

MEM get Jabari Parker, Kyle Korver and Greg Monroe

Pg Conley
Sg Korver
Sf Parker
Pf Zbo
Ce Monroe

ATL get Chandler Parsons and MCW

Pg Shroeder
Sg Bazemore
Sf Sefolosha
Pf Parsons
Ce Howard.

10 Sep 2016 06:41:00
Mil doesn't give nearly enough.

10 Sep 2016 12:04:33
Milwaukee does give enough.
Two younger players, for two older players. And one becomes a free agent.

This Bucks team would be great. they could challenge Cleveland

I don't think Memphis would trade Gasol. Denver owns their draftpick, so they can't tank.

Not sure about atlanta, millsap is great and Parsons had some injurys. But a shooter Always fit D12.

10 Sep 2016 14:24:23
Monroe might be younger than milsap and gasol, but he's definitely not a prospect any more. He's no where close to the value of either of them, even including age. Gasol and milsap are top 10 bigs in the league. Not sure i'd consider Monroe top 50. Parker is a nice prospect, but not worth two all stars alone. Overall, no, the Bucks don't give up nearly enough. To get both of those bigs they'd have to include Giannis, which they obviously won't.

10 Sep 2016 15:25:08
comme on, Monroe isn't DJ MBenga
He's a 15-8 guy and he isn't the first scoring option.
He isn't the best defender, but he could still improve

M Gasol and P Millsap are both 31, become 32 soon.
Gasol is comming from some injurys and Millsap is becoming a free agent next year, going for one more big contract.

And i do believe in J Parker, before his injury, he was great, he was 1st in rookie of the year ranking, before Wiggins. Last year wasn't his best, but i still think he's going to be an all star soon.


If you only value on talent, M Gasol+ Millsap is better than J Parker+ Monroe. But if you consider the whole package, this is close to a fair deal.

But that's just my opinion and i'm a homer.

10 Sep 2016 15:28:20
Monroe isn't near the value of gasol, and after watching Parker these past 2 years and in the team USA scrimmages against his pears, he didn't impress me at all. Buck would be lucky if he could be as good as Milsap.

10 Sep 2016 19:05:16
Although I doubt this deal would actually happen I would like to say this. I think it's completely crazy to think that Jabari won't be as good as Milsap. Jabari is averaging double the points and the same number of rebounds as Milsap did his first two years. He's already light years ahead of where Milsap was at that point in his career. Jabari also basically had this be his rookie year, considering he tore his ACL like 20 games into last year. A lot of people who don't watch the Bucks think he's a dud, but you don't understand that he is doing exactly what the coaching staff is telling him to do. People harp on him for having no range, when in college he proved he did. For whatever reason, Jkidd doesn't want him to step out and take a lot of shots. People counter this by saying well look at his three point percentage... Then you say we'll look at the number of threes that was... For the most part the only times he takes outside shots is when the shot clock is running down or a half court heave. Once the leash gets taken off Jabari he'll impress a lot of people. Just give the kid a chance and let him play more than a years worth of NBA basketball before saying he only has the ceiling of a big who's played 10 years and has averaged 13.9 and 7.4. Jabari will far exceed this. Not to mention Milsap was finally the number one option last year and averaged 17 and 9... If Jabari was the first instead of the 3rd I think he could already be achieving this stat line.

10 Sep 2016 19:45:58
Milsap was a second rounder. Parker was the second pick. Of course milsaps not going to get thrown into the fire like that. Milsap these past 2 seasons has been underrated as an all star and top 5 PF. Stretches the floor, posts you up, passes the ball well, and most of all, he's a very good defender.

11 Sep 2016 05:38:23
You misunderstood the post. The reason behind it was to put an end to the stupidity behind the posts that are always on here about Jabari flopping. First, I simply said Parker has been far superior in his first two years and has showed far more all star potential than what milsap displayed in his first two years. And also Jabari can do all of the things you listed, however, he is still immature as a defender. I think with time this will get better.

11 Sep 2016 15:46:28
Of course Parker looked better than Milsap in his first two years, Milsap played 11 minutes less. I'm pretty sure the Bucks would be happy with 16-9-3-1.8-1.9 on 47% shooting.

09 Sep 2016 02:15:59
BOS/ OKC/ LAC/ ATL

BOS get Blake Griffin

Pg Thomas
Sg Bradley
Sf Brown
Pf Griffin
Ce Horford

OKC get Kyle Korver

Pg Westbrook
Sg Oladipo
Sf Korver
Pf Kanter
Ce Adams

LAC get Paul Millsap and BKN 1st 2017

Pg Paul
Sg Reddick
Sf Johnson
Pf Millsap
Ce Jordan

ATL get Ersan Ilyasova, Jae Crowder, 1st rd pick BOS (2019) and 2nd rd pick from OKC

Pg Shroeder
Sg Bazemore
Sf Crowder
Pf Ilyasova
Ce Howard.

09 Sep 2016 07:54:49
I really like this trade for the Clippers
Millsap is a versatile PF and that pick gives them many options.

B Griffins is the star, Boston is looking for.

Atlanta should keep Millsap and make a run with D12, but this is a great return for an aging pf, that become free agent next year.

I think Korver is donne, so not sure OKC would do this.

09 Sep 2016 14:57:54
I like it pretty much all the way around. I don't love Griffins fit on Boston but I think they'd be interested and the price of crowder 2017 1st and 2019 first is good value (assuming he agrees to sign extension) .

It's a slight trade for OKC and maybe they'd prefer Tim hard away Jr. But Korvers shooting could be useful and they aren't giving up much in ilyasova and clearing space for sabonis and mcgary to play more.

Clippers I could see declining this if anyone but I think millsap is better pair with Jordan and would add another dimension to clippers and that pick could bring in a young next generation star (Clips don't have too many young promising guys)

The return for millsap won't match his production but I think it's the market value for a guy like him who is very underrated, aging and on an expiring deal. Crowder is also a good versatile piece young enough to grow with Schroeder and bazemore.

07 Sep 2016 04:11:00
Atlanta-Toronto-Oklahoma City

Hawks acquire Ersan Ilyasova, 2nd rd pick OKC, 1st round pick TOR and Jared Sullinger

Raptors acquire Paul Millsap

Thunder acquire Terrence Ross.

07 Sep 2016 08:44:42
The Hawks should keep Millsap. he's a great player

That Raptors team would be good.

Not sure T Ross is what OKC need, but they could do this.

06 Sep 2016 06:37:01
Hawks/ Lakers

Hawks get: Julius Randle, Timofey Mozgov

Lakers get: Paul Millsap, Tiago Splitter.

06 Sep 2016 09:10:59
Surely your taking the piss?

06 Sep 2016 14:22:16
Why would lakers do this?

06 Sep 2016 14:23:05
LA doesn't need an aging player.
Millsap will be good, so they win to many games
They will not make the playoffs
And they lose their pick to Philly

The Hawks need to win now. The D12- Millsap combo should be great. So why trade Millsap?

06 Sep 2016 19:06:43
Sorry but Randle and Mozgov will not get you Millsap. Randle may not live up towhat is expected from him and Mozgov would be good in the 90s. Millsap is one of the best players.

05 Sep 2016 08:44:41
MIL/ OKC/ ATL

MIL get Victor Oladipo and Kyle Korver

Pg Giannis
Sg Oladipo
Sf Korver
Pf Parker
Ce Monroe

OKC get Khris Middleton
sign Lance Stephenson

Pg Westbrook
Sg Stephenson
Sf Middleton
Pf Kanter
Ce Adams

ATL get Ersan Ilyasova and 2nd rd pick from OKC

Pg Shroeder
Sg Bazemore
Sf Ilyasova
Pf Millsap
Ce Howard.

05 Sep 2016 14:54:57
Rather have Middleton.

06 Sep 2016 04:52:42
I think it's a fun trade. No doubt have to see if MCW, Giannis, and/ or Parker started shooting better first. Fit isn't as good until then, but if shooting improves:

Pg - Delly
Sg - Korver
Sf - Parker
Pf - Giannis
Ce - Henson/ Plum

Pg - MCW
Sg - Oladipo
Sf - Giannis/ Parker
Pf - Teletovic/ Thon
Ce - Monroe

Reserves: Brogdon Vaughn (D league/ trade) Novak Terry

I think you'd end up trading some big men, idk who your targets would be though team seems stacked.

29 Aug 2016 01:32:35
Kings/ Thunder/ Hawks

Kings - Jack, Hardaway jr, Thunder 2019 1st.
Thunder - Mclemore, Prince.
Hawks - Sabonis, Koufos.

Kings land a serviceable back up point and a so so SG and a future pick.

Thunder Get Mclemore who still has load of potenial and adds shooting and a future starting SF in Prince.

Hawks improve depth at the 4 and 5 and land a young talented guy in Sabonis who would be able to replace Millsap if he leaves.

26 Aug 2016 18:22:08
Atl/ Det mid season trade if Atlanta has no chance


Atlanta receives-Stanley Johnson, Henry Ellenson (maybe 2017 first or second)

Detroit receives- Millsap, Korver

Detroit gets to vets who have gone deep in the playoffs, and an all-star.

Atlanta gets young talent for the future.

Jackson/ Smith
Pope/ Korver
Harris/ Morris
Millsap/ Leuer
Drummond/ Baynes

Schroeder/ Jack
Johnson/ Hardaway jr
Bazemore/ Sefolosha
Ellenson/ Humphries
Howard/ Splitter.

27 Aug 2016 00:38:03
Atlanta don't get enough even if they get the first round pick next year because it will be low value after Detroit add Millsap and Korver.

27 Aug 2016 02:39:41
Salaries aren't close.

27 Aug 2016 05:31:26
They could add Barnes and Leure to make saleries match. But. Just doesn't make sense for Detroit to give up so many assets while there still rebuilding. If somehow there killing it and have a chance to compete this year or next they shouldn't make such a huge splash. Also Hawks might need more.?

27 Aug 2016 20:29:57
Hawks would never agree to this. Having Dwight down in ATL just means they don't want to rebuild. They want to win TODAY. This trade loses them their best player (in Millsap) and forfeits their biggest role player (in Korver) . DET however, would probably piss their pants for this deal.

26 Aug 2016 04:03:37
Lakers-Hawks-Clippers

Lakers get Blake Griffin and Prince

Hawks get Randle, Luc Mbah, Lou will and 1st Clippers

Clippers get Millsap and Ingram.

26 Aug 2016 14:50:59
Lakers wouldn't trade Ingram for Griffin.

26 Aug 2016 00:04:59
Clippers/ Hawks mid-season deal if Clippers are doing bad.

Clippers - Schroder, Prince 1st.

Hawks - Paul.

Clippers land quality assests instead of losing cp3 for nothing.

Hawks land a top 15 player and with one decent signing (Gallo? ) are contenders.

26 Aug 2016 01:58:31
Paul doesn't stay in Atlanta after the season, so Hawks don't give up Schroeder and a first for him.

27 Aug 2016 20:41:44
ATL would need to make a hell of an offseason pick up to keep Paul around. Chris Paul gets a long with NOBODY. so putting him and dwight together would probably result in a horrible 2nd half of the season.

22 Aug 2016 08:02:24
ATL/ DET

ATL get Tobias Harris, 1st rd pick and 2nd rd pick

DET get Paul Millsap

i think this could really work for both teams. Millsap is the glue guy this young DET team needs while ATL need to start piling up young talents on their roster. I think if they do good, Millsap could return to DET for 2-3 final years of his prime.

22 Aug 2016 08:44:24
I kind of like it for Pistons as they aren't giving up an awful lot although realistically not sure Millsap gets this team over the hump. Also, I agree hawks should rebuild although after getting Howard to replace Horford and losing Teague they shouldn't be that bad and will still be a playoff team so idk how willing they'd be to part with Millsap.

Personally I think Millsap would be a much better fit for Toronto who are a team more built to win now than Pistons and could use a player of his ability. I also think they could offer a semi attractive offer centered around Carroll (he had best years in ATL so maybe they'd want him back) and Ross or maybe younger guys like Poeltl and Powell.

22 Aug 2016 10:01:49
The Hawks shouldn't trade Millsap and give the combo D12/ Millsap a chance.
But Millsap would be a great fit in Detroit.
