That they’re stupid and cheap. Btw, yall keep using this argument like no team has ever given up on a player and been wrong. I guess nobody should try to trade for Ben Simmons too. Cause why would the Sixers give him up right?22 year old elite defensive wing with offensive upside who still has two dirt cheap years left on his rookie deal - yet the team who's worked with him everyday for two years and needs low cost contributors is dangling him as trade bait
What does that tell you

What does that tell you
You are wilding . His defense isn’t good enough that his offensive short comings /inconsistency is worth all that especially on the Knicks . We need shooters and playmakers not another project when we got Obi and Quick and rookies coming in this year
They could choose cam over Heurter
I don’t think ATL fans would agree
Exactly no one else wants cam the way you do
Cam is still worth a first round pick and has better upside than anybody we’re getting at 19 or 21 but I would also give a first round pick for the cac if available.
If ATL had the money I’m pretty confident they wouldn’t entertain a cam trade but ATL is a medium size market team and they have a financial limitContext definitely matters, which is why the Simmons comp is terribleThat they’re stupid and cheap.

Context?
Ben's been a productive player in this league, the only reason he might get traded is because he had a WOAT playoff series that triggered his head coach & star teammate to throw him under the bus (ontop of the complicated fit with Embiid)
Cam's cap hits are dirt cheap the next two years, they're not saving any money by moving him. He's the EXACT kind of player they hypothetically need right now - cost controlled and productive.Cam is still worth a first round pick and has better upside than anybody we’re getting at 19 or 21 but I would also give a first round pick for the cac if available.

Name a lottery pick that's been as irrelevant and unproductive as Cam through two years that got traded and turned it around. If Atlanta felt like he still had that ceiling they wouldn't entertain moving him with three years left on his rookie deal. If these rumors are true he's Josh Jackson status, got fans on the internet still daydreaming over that prospect profile while the team that's spent years developing him knows it's over
Nikka our franchise power forward (who was drafted 7th) averaged 5 points & 11 points in his first two seasons and was considered a loser until he was in New OrleansDoesn't fit the criteria, the Lakers never traded him. Even through his struggles they rode it out the entirety of his rookie deal because they obviously saw something there.
