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

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.

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.

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.
30 Nov 2024 21:32:15
GRIZZLIES get Cameron Johnson
NETS get Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, and 2027 first-round pick
GRIZZLIES get Nikola Vučević and Talen Horton-Tucker
BULLS get Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, John Konchar, and 2027 second-round pick (via Atlanta)
Morant, Pippen
Bane, Kennard
Johnson, Wells, Williams
JJJ, GG Jackson
Vučević, Edey, Huff
26 Nov 2024 08:22:53
Por - josh green, g williams (out for the season), v micic, N smith 1st round pick, pick swap
Cha- j grant, m thybulle
Cha can atleast contend for a playoff position in the east and can surpise anyone with a healthy line up
Por meanwhile have to focus on tanking, rebuilding and development for they have no chance in the west
Cha
Lamelo Mann
Miller Martin Curry
Grant Thybulle
Bridges Salaun Gibson
Richards williams diabate

Got another trade to try and offload beal from the suns.
Hawks
Bradley Beal
Suns
De'Andre Hunter
Clint Capela
Would actually not be that bad for any of the teams.
22 Nov 2024 17:53:18
The Hawks are also unloading contracts, not taking more.
22 Nov 2024 15:25:05
Thoughts on another trade
Spurs - Trae Young
Hawks - Harrison Barnes, Devin Vassell, and all the picks for Dejounte back.
11 Nov 2024 17:43:49

04 Nov 2024 14:12:33
Hawks-Pacers
Cody Zeller for James Wiseman
Pacers get a backup center since they currently don't have one.
Hawks waive Wiseman and open a roster spot. Go sign Dennis Smith Jr. or Markelle Fultz to backup Trae.
06 Nov 2024 09:46:13
I like this for the Pacers.
To bad Wiseman had that injury, he looked good in practice.
03 Nov 2024 17:29:07
