I think that deal is dead because dejounte was the centerpiece. After signing this extension he isn't eligible to be traded for a year

Even if that deal dead we’re in position to add a major player either this summer or at the trade deadline.

Ughh

Who else are y’all hearing they use that exemption space on from the John Collins trade?
That DJ deal is big as it gives us room to add a 3rd star.

I think the Collins deal hasn't been finalized because it can be merged into.a larger deal to make it easier for salaries to match.

landry has been very active in trade talks :lupe:

This dude Mouhamed Gueye might be a player at 6'11 :whoo: and Bufkin got some of Trae's playmaking ability with some pretty stout defense. Hawks got some good young talent.

Gueye looks impressive.

We worked him out last year and targeted him. We traded up for him and signed him to a longer contract than usual for a 2nd round pick.

Shout out to the team scouts, that's a first round talent

Dude who does the Locked On Hawks pod said he thinks Gueye is more NBA ready than Bufkin after the draft

Man this ball movement is fukkin beautiful man.

Quinn gets a whole off season to implement his system, & he’ll have actual nba players running it. The offense should be vastly improved

I was just thinking this watching quin and Landry on the sidelines. They are on the same page. Trae and DJ are fully bought in.

There is a sense of urgency that I'm really liking. Everyone looks focused and you can see a culture brewing like when bud first got here

Idk why I didn’t finish typing, but yea I’m already excited for next season.

I love Nate, but he really didn’t want to be there & you could tell. I can’t wait to see them as an actual team with everyone on the same page
