Should have taken DSJ.

Paul Millsap is unlikely to return to the Atlanta Hawks this offseason as they pivot towards a rebuild with Travis Schlenk as general manager. Schlenk has suggested multiple times in the media that they may not be able to offer a contract to Millsap that beats a rival team.

The Hawks and Millsap have mutual interest in a sign-and-trade scenario.

"I know sign-and-trade discussions have already happened involving Millsap and the Hawks," said Brian Windhorst on The Basketball Analogy podcast.

The Houston Rockets have interest in signing Millsap and a sign-and-trade deal would help facilitate a move since they are short on cap space at present. The Rockets have been searching for a Ryan Anderson trade, but teams are requesting two first round picks to take on his salary.

Millsap could still sign outright with a team such as the Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets or Minnesota Timberwolves.

@pete clemenza Blake is going to start the season missing gms

Is this an official statement or a rumor?

 

[duckbutta]

Nah breh...we'll throw in a draft pick or two to make it worth while. Pop always finds a gem in the mid to late part of the first round!

I don't want to roll the dice on finding that gem. I want the big bosnian dude who saved your season and in the right situation could be almost as good as jokic

Ntilikina will end up being a better player down the line

I had Ntilikina ranked higher, I think he would have been better in Dallas though.

He's already a better shooter and defender but he will never be the athlete DSJ is. So baring injuries there is nothing holding Dennis back, aside from his poor defensive upside.

They bout to Max out Noel and probably sign Mirotic or someone to play behind Dirk.

 

[Geechiedan214]

Id put the Knicks in their.Im not a Melo fan but if they trade him they are really gonna have trouble scoring

I forgot about the Hawks. If Millsap and Teague leave I imagine their gonna go into a full rebuild

Bruh Teague been gone he was on the pacers squad last year

Take Mirotic please

The toe wont be ready till december, so he's definitely missing the start of the season.

Deal as long as you take Ryan Anderson



















Please just take Anderson. He short better at San Antonio than inHouston in the playoffs. That's a a positive that he'll be productive there

 

[tremonthustler1]

Heres an idea

Name a free agent and the next person after you predicts what team he winds up on.

I'll start:

Ian Clark

 

[Kang Deezy]

I don't think it's because the Lakers and Nets are going to be good, but because there are other teams that are going to be even worse.

Like who?
