Atlanta sends-Capela (exp),Hunter, Bogdanavic, Okungwu,2nd Rd pick
Portland sends Ayton,Grant, Brogdan (exp)
Gives Atlanta a bigger front line move Brogdan after trade to save on cap space draft Sarr 1st overall. Ayton would work better with the pick & roll with Trae, Murray,Grant, Johnson, Ayton.
Gets Portland out of the tax with smaller contracts to move so they can rebuild around their young talented backcourt faster. I think Hunter & Okungwu would work well with Portland guards the pick & roll that Trae runs does not work well for them.

Absurd trade for Portland could get far better offers for grant and ayton.
2.) 01 Jun 2024 03:22:16
For instance if Portland willing to trade Ayton and grant kings would give up huerter, Barnes, Mitchell, Lyles, vezenkov and this years 1 st round pick.

@Hyena 1 I hear you but I don't think Portland makes that type of trade with Sacramento. The Only real value from Sacramento is Sabonis & Fox which I know they aren't moving for Grant & Ayton also this moves puts Sacramento in the heavy tax apron. Secondly it returns Portland 2 guards to a guard heavy team with Scoot Henderson, Afernee Simons, Matisse Thybulle, Malcolm Brogdan. They have no room for 2 more guards. Harrison Barnes does not help them. Hunter & Okungwu would mesh well with their young backcourt. It's only a few teams willing & able to take on 60 million from just 2 players.
4.) 01 Jun 2024 14:10:48
To be fair kings should only offer the trade for grant not ayton but your offer regarding hawks offers nothing of any value to Portland. Barnes helps them if loses grant so how about Barnes huerter Lyles and a 1st for grant?
5.) 01 Jun 2024 19:12:12
@Hyena1 I think you are overvaluing Grant. He is a 30 yr old 3rd or 4th scorer on a title contender with 4 yr/ 150 million contract owed. Portland will find it hard to move that contract. Rebuilding teams are not carrying a player that age with that type of money. It's maybe 3 teams that would & maybe 5 that could. Sacramento ain't taking on that type of salary for 5 pt bump at that position between Grant & Barnes. Portland will have to take back less than desirable names if they want rebuild that squad before their rookie back court get to their next cont.
6.) 02 Jun 2024 01:32:09
I’m a kings fan and would do that trade immediately to get grant without having to give up Murray. Getting out of Barnes and huerter contract for grant would be an ideal fit for kings…. think this trade makes sense for both sides.

Atlanta/Portland
Atlanta sends Capela,Hunter, Bogdanavic,1st pick
Portland sends
J Grant,Ayton
Upgrade Atl roster
Gives Portland movable contracts as they rebuild around the young backcourt
1.) 12 Jan 2024 07:49:42
Why would they trade Ayton?
They can built arround Henderson-sharpe-Camara-Ayton and R williams.
2.) 12 Jan 2024 11:36:31
@Gasupo great question. Not too familiar with the direction that the blazers wanted to go but I thought Moses Brown and R Williams was their future at center. I could definitely see Ayton as their future though.
13 Jun 2023 22:48:19
Atl- Phoenix -Pacers.
Atl-gets:
Myles Turner,Buddy Hield & (2nd Rd pick) from Pacers
better perimeter shooting.
Suns get:
Capela and 2nd Rd (32)from Pacers
Suns get cap flexibility. Better paint defender.
Pacers get:
Bogdanavic, Okungwu & Ayton.
Land the center they want plus a young PF.
1.) 14 Jun 2023 03:11:37
Does this make sense to Atlanta? Seems like they are sending OO for nothing.
2.) 14 Jun 2023 12:15:19
Well maybe it would be fair to kick the Pacers for a late 1st round pick (27th) overall instead of a 2nd Rd pick. But Okungwu doesn't have the value most Hawks fans think he has. He was severely over drafted, undersized, no offensive or defensive perimeter presence role player. You got to have something to pry Hield for Bogdanavic.
22 Sep 2022 14:40:28
Hawks send Capela, Bogdanavic and 1st Rd pick
Pacers send Turner and Hield
Hawks need to go all in. The Murray trade was good but they still don't have enough to get into 4th or better in the East.
Pacers retain a defensive anchor while they rebuild. Plus another 1st rounder.
1.) 22 Sep 2022 18:14:36
Not sure that Turner + Hield add anything more than what Capela + Bogdanovic bring to ATL. Not sure this trade gets ATL "into the 4th of better in the East" either.
2.) 22 Sep 2022 18:52:29
turner being able to space the floor gives their offense and pick and roll / pop and more options and unpredictability. also can unlock collins more as a roll man and turner never played with a pick and roll passer like trae nor has he had that type of spacing. Pacers should get a better return cappela and bogdonavich have less value to their team than others maybe send these to the lakers and get two unprotected firsts while taking on russ contract.
3.) 22 Sep 2022 19:02:29
I can see a Turner/ Capela swap with like 2-3 2nds coming from Atlanta, but losing a first and Bogdanovic for Hield isn't going to help them, despite how much I like Buddy.
4.) 22 Sep 2022 22:15:26
@Fredman I disagree. I believe Turners size helps in matchups that Capela struggle with. Turner is definitely a better perimeter defender and scorer. @AHooper is 100% correct Collins took a step back because Capela clogs up the lane because he can't make a dam layup. Bogi legs are gone Hield is a much better defender & better 3pt threat. Hield could be a starter if injury hit us in a long NBA season. I definitely think we could climb into the top 4 in the East with those upgrades. The contracts are even the only thing the Hawks would be losing are draft picks. The trade for Murray is "all in" move the draft will not be our friend for the next 5 years. We are locked into Trae & Murray extension. There is no turning back at this point. Go all and try to win a title with that squad. Capela & Bogi ain't gonna get you there.
5.) 23 Sep 2022 08:37:57
Turner better shot blocker, Capella better rebounder. Rather have the 5 rebounds than the 1 shot block.
Dukey said that Turner never played with P&R guard. That is false. P&R is about all Haliburton runs as a PG.
6.) 23 Sep 2022 13:44:49
Fredman haliburton got traded mid way through last year to Indy and Turner got injured. They haven't been playing together.
31 Jul 2022 18:56:22
Pacers trade Turner & Hield to Atlanta
Atlanta trades Capela, Bogdanavic, Okungru and a 1st rd pick
1.) 31 Jul 2022 20:04:32
Hield and Bogdanovic are about equal. Capela should have more value than Turner since the latter only has a year left. Why would Atlanta add a 1st plus the player who might have more value than anyone else in the deal?
2.) 31 Jul 2022 22:08:12
Great question. I think where we differ is Turner and Capela value. I don't value Capela as high value. He can't space the floor. I even value Turner as a more active shot blocker. I grade Hield over Bogdanavic who is 30 and especially because of injury issues. Also the Hawks foolishly extended capela so Indy would be on the hook for that and I know he is not a long term plan for them. I think a 1st evens the deal. But I definitely see your point. It's a legit position.
3.) 31 Jul 2022 22:29:54
I take this for Indy.
4.) 31 Jul 2022 23:06:27
Gasupo as a Hawks fan I would do it. I think the Hawks need to go "all in" and not half do it. I like Capela but his offensive limits clogs the lane and pushes John Collins further out. With a center like Turner you can spread the floor. Hield is more athletic than Bogdanavic and equal in shooting. I hate to lose Okungru but I don't think we resign him anyway. We would need to find his replacement with MLE money.
5.) 01 Aug 2022 00:21:08
Throw in John Collins and you have yourself a deal. Collins instead of Okongwu.
6.) 01 Aug 2022 01:43:13
No way @Shaqisback. John Collins will not be traded. The Hawks wouldn't trade Collins straight up for Turner let alone a 1st Rd pick ?.
7.) 01 Aug 2022 15:48:06
Okay @Dukey99. Have Atlanta up the ante and the trade should look like this: Capella, Collins, Bogdanovich, and 2 1sts for Turner and Hield.
You said they won't do Collins and a 1st, what about Collins and 2 firsts? LMFAO.
8.) 01 Aug 2022 17:21:32
You got jokes.
9.) 01 Aug 2022 19:41:52
@Dukey99 that I do, but you do as well if you think John Collins is worth a top 10 player. He isn't anywhere close to a top 10 player himself.
10.) 02 Aug 2022 12:52:15
Packaged with a player on a rookie deal and picks MIGHT get the Hawks into a Ben Simmons/ Draymond Green level of player.
11.) 02 Aug 2022 21:23:05
I definitely don't think Collins is worth a top 10 player. I said that's what its gonna take for the Hawks to trade him. And I don't blame them. He is a great "piece" which is why 20+ teams want him and his contract.
12.) 02 Aug 2022 21:25:00
Fredman the Hawks wouldn't want ben or Draymond I don't think their contracts fit their goals. The owners are cool with paying a little in the tax but not for marginal players.
16 Jun 2024 11:38:16
As a Hawks fan I can tell you we have some of the dumbest fans on the planet. They know nothing about basketball they just root for the team. Weirdest bunch I've ever seen. You would be hard pressed to find a Hawks fan that is disgruntled about the Hawks given Bogdan Bogdanavic 7 yrs worth of contracts totaling 140 million fans of teams like Boston, Mavs, NY teams would cuss them out if they signed players like that to those types of contracts.
16 Jun 2024 11:34:15
As a Atlanta fan it really makes no sense it doesn't make us a better team. It's like making a trade just to be making a trade. Not sure where the rumor that Trae & Murray doesn't play well together comes from. They are actually great together their strengths and weaknesses compliments each other well. The problem with the Hawks are Capela, Bogdanavic, Hunter& Okungwu in that order. They suck up 80 million & none of them average 15 points a game convert that 80 million through trade for a 20 or a night wing a rim protecting big who can pick & roll with Trae & we could move into top 5 in east. This draft nor trade does that for Atlanta.
03 Jun 2024 17:55:24
Reaves won't get you Murray. We already have Bogdanavic why add Reaves? They are both over paid bench players.
02 Jun 2024 21:09:05
It's not happening. Booker is not being traded.
02 Jun 2024 21:07:09
Doesn't make sense from the Hawks perspective. Davion Mitchell can't fill Murrays shoes defensively. While Hunter for Ingram is a upgrade the report of Murray and young not playing well together is simply not true.
