    I know there is a lot of Oladipo hate right now, but I think a Trae/Oladipo backcourt could be a legitimate 2nd Round threat in combination with their frontline talent. Oladipo seems to be on the path to recovery. It's been a bumpy road, but it's not a huge stretch to think that he can get back to being a 2-way all-star SG with another offseason of work, especially under Nate McMillan. Their big problem IMO is that Trae Young isn't quite as good as everyone wants him to be.

    Would they shoot over their 1st? (Currently slated as the 18th pick)
    And an interesting young player that needs minutes?

    If they want to give us Bogdan I'll gladly take him with open arms.

    The beauty of the Hawks is that we can either take Bog, or we could form the deal around Snell's expiring. Lots of options.

    Hawks are a good choice.

    The Hawks management has a lot of pressure to win now and make the playoffs.

    The Hawks have payroll issues being able to afford to resign Collins so they want to trade players under contract.

    The Hawks need a veteran and a defensive wing.

    The Hawks have young players and assets to trade.

    Another benefit to a deal with Atlanta is it’s a music Mecca right now. Dipo would definitely consider resigning with Atlanta for the progress of his music career.

    he can sign high notes/falsettos over screwed and chopped beats

    I was in a rush to get back to work, but don't think I can make heads or tails of your postings half the time.

    Have a greater day

    Is there actually a group or where people just not willing to stake the future around that player under that contract?

    I don't remember anybody saying saying oladipo was more valuable than Simmons.

    This owner just talks out of his a$$. You already know everything he feeds media is lies. Because if we were really trying to win Prince and Allen would be on the Rockets still today.. they fill our two biggest needs as a team.

    I wonder if this is still legit.

    Dinwiddie is very popular much to CF's chagrin.

    I’ve never visited and refreshed a thread as much as this one. Greatest thread of all-time, hands down.

    Prince, LaVert and JA
    or
    Milwaukee 2023 Unprotected 1st and whatever we land here for Exum & Oladipo? (Not to mention KPJ)

    I don't think the bald man is going to be crying on March 25. Not Rafael Stone I mean. My bald man might be crying though.

    How about this fam?

    We also send Magic the Washington FRP and the Portland FRP. We eat of Bogdans contract and Hawks get EG for one year less, but excellent sixth man for their desperate situation that @Nook talks about.
