[Shams] Hawks interested in Capela

It’s not too hard. Just pay one (Ariza) when you have the chance.

 

Hunter sucks

 

I could see the Warriors asking for Covington in any deal, unfortunately.

 

Tell that to Washington, Sacramento, etc...

There is definitely a price that is too steep for Trev.

 

Not as steep as losing your young starting center and picks for a replacement.

 

So you think D Russel and B Heild are not good players because of their rookie years?

 

No. No he doesn't.

 

Are deals like this usually resurrected when the three teams involved publicly announce a 4th team getting in the mix? Seems DOA to me. Just too many cats to herd.

I can see Capela getting shipped to someone out East though, per your 2nd point.

 

For me, paying 15 million for Trevor Ariza is more steep than trading a guy that is unplayable with Westbrook and Harden in the starting lineup.

Clint Capela is simply not as valuable to us as he used to be, like in 2018 when our PG could knock down threes. (And even then he was absolutely decimated by Draymond green and GSW)

PJ Tucker was our starting C when **** got real.

 

I didn't know russel had a rookie season that was terrible. the numbers certainly don't support that

hield has yet to prove he's a winning impact player. a lot of people are hyped over him. I'm certainly not and even Sac of all people has regretted what they've done

 

I get all of that, but at this point, Covington is getting hyped like he’s the SF equivalent of Jrue Holiday

 

If we get Hunter/Reddish/Collins out of this deal plus FRP then why do we even need RoCo.

Cut Minny out already.

Deal with Suns, Thunder or Knicks instead. Their demands won't be as silly.

 

There is a reason he got traded for a poo poo platter after being the 2nd pick in the draft.

So now the criteria is a winning impact player?

 

a trade doesn't dictate whether or not someone is a bust. not sure where you got that from

and that's always been my criteria.

Both the Rockets and Nets have specifically expressed interest in Hawks big man John Collins recently, a league source tells Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. However, teams that have talked to Atlanta have been left with the impression that the team won’t move Collins unless it gets an offer it can refuse.

According to Kirschner, Houston wanted Collins as part of a Clint Capela trade as a younger, cheaper replacement, which presumably was a non-starter for the Hawks. Kirschner suggests Spencer Dinwiddie was mentioned in talks with the Nets, but says it’s not clear whether those discussions went anywhere.

Collins will be eligible for a rookie scale extension for the first time this offseason, and multiple league sources tell Kirschner that he’s expected to seek a max or near-max deal. If the Hawks decide that price is too rich, they could revisit the trade market, but for now, the big man isn’t being shopped at all. It’s “highly unlikely” that Atlanta moves any member of its young core – including Collins – at this Thursday’s deadline, tweets Sarah K. Spencer of The Athletic.

 

If you want to extrapolate a guy’s potential based on a rapidly moving target - go for it. Rookie seasons are full of noise and mistakes. You want to see growth, you aren’t looking for immediate impact. Ask any scout, I doubt they think Cam is a bust.

 

i really couldn't careless about what a scout has to say. me personally, nothing special.

 

yes, I can see you are pretty high on your opinion over experts.

 

Yeah let’s act like these so called “experts” always get it right
