The Hawks are working to shake up their roster, but a potential deal with the Pacers appears to have fallen apart after the teams were moving toward an agreement Tuesday night, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
Atlanta would have sent De’Andre Hunter to Indiana in the proposed trade, sources tell Fischer. Although more details on the deal aren’t available, the Hawks reportedly want to move into the top 10 in the draft. Sources tell Fischer that the Pacers weren’t willing to part with the No. 7 pick to acquire Hunter.
Fischer adds that Indiana is in the market for a starting forward, and he hears that the team has reached out to the Warriors about Jonathan Kuminga. He adds that the Pacers may wait until free agency and target players such as Harrison Barnes, Kyle Kuzma and Grant Williams.
The Hawks are among the league’s most active teams in pre-draft trade talks, according to Fischer. He states that Hunter appears to be involved in most of the deals, but John Collins, Dejounte Murray and Clint Capela could be available as well.
Sources tell Fischer that Dallas might be open to trading the No. 10 pick in a package involving Atlanta’s No. 15 selection, depending on who’s still left on the board. Fischer hears that the Mavericks‘ willingness to move down may change if Cam Whitmore or Taylor Hendricks is still available.
The Hawks made several offers to the Raptors for Pascal Siakam, including at least one three-team deal, sources tell Fischer. Rival teams believe Toronto’s high asking price is the biggest impediment to a deal for either Siakam or OG Anunoby.
The Raptors seem to be considering moves both up and down the draft board, Fischer adds. He hears from sources that Toronto, which holds the No. 13 pick, has talked to the Magic about No. 11, the Warriors about No. 19 and the Nets, who have Nos. 21 and 22.
Are there any hurt feelings between Murray and the Spurs? If not, he may be a great fit in the Wembanyama era… the Hawks can get two of their picks back, plus some extra second rounders or players as long as they’re not Vassell, Johnson, Sochan or Collins…
There wasn’t any animosity, they traded Murray so he’d have a better chance at competing and to open up playing time and see what they have in Tre Jones. I think they like what they say in Jones and he’s 4 years younger and a heck of a lot easier on the payroll then Murray would be in a rebuilding team.
I’m not trying to kiss butt but you are probably the most knowledgeable on here along with another guy and myself. I always agree with your takes. I don’t understand 80% of what people say on here . No disrespect to NameIsAlreadyTaken
Value of Kuminga and #19 is equal to 3
You can do 3-way deal
Today’s 4-14 has not much trade value
Pacers can make 4 years $90mm offer to Kuzma or Rui
They don’t need to give up 7
But then, they would have Kuzma or Rui.
facinated how everyone wants the Raptors to under value what they have in a 2 time all star and top tier defensive player.
If you were a GM what would you give up to get siakim?
Pacers are not going to get better for that number 7 pick. It’s the only draft leverage they have.
Holding out for better will backfire.
Neither Hunter or Kuminga are worth the 7th pick straight up either. Definitely not Kuminga (he feels like a rotation player + late/future first type of swap) and Hunter, who has had some health issues and is just starting a new 4 year deal, is also not enough for 7 straight up. Even if part of the deal was swapping 1st rounders, that still feels light because its a weak draft…plus everybody knows the Hawks are trying to jump into the top 10 with little leverage to do so.
I beg to differ. I think DeAndre has gotten better this year. Now, John Collins, is going the other way.
Buddy would be a prime candidate or a S&T for Kuzma with it being an expiring deal.
If the Pacers move the #26 for a future 1st that would give them more ammo to do such a trade.
Why would you need to trade for free agent Kyle Kuzma?
Only about five people know what they are talking about in this hoops forum
Anyone that feels the need to repeatedly post about how knowledgeable they are probably isn’t that knowledgeable.
Translation: he only ever agrees with 5 people, so they must know what they’re talking about.
I know more than you and I would bet money on that. Do you feel good always attacking people and liking your own comment on fake accounts
Atalanta email me. I have some ideas. They can fix this easy
Send them your resume, I’m certain you are the guy they have been looking for…of course it would be advisable to learn how to spell the name of the city before doing so. Good luck, I’m expecting big things from you.
Thank you sir
Hunter and 15 for pacers 7?
Does seem a little to one sided in ATL’s favour.
Especially considering salary cap matching meaning they likely had to give up Heild ????
Think if you did it
Hunter, Collins and 16 for Heild, Theis, McConnell and 7
That would be a better deal. Pacers get 2 good forwards and keep a draft pick in the first round. ATL move into the top 10, get back some good bench pieces and loveable contracts
I know every player ever!! Every team until 1950. I have books and books. Stop hating on me and try to love yourself please
AI has run amok.
