Let's keep it relatively realistic please. No Luka/Giannis/Kawhi/Jokic/you name it.

I'll go first.

De'Andre Hunter. He's a 3+D type of swing who has shown flashes of shot creation skills. He's also a willing passer. Reminds me a lot of Mikal Bridges, only 2 inches taller and about 2 inches longer. Problem is, why would the Hawks trade him? Well, they need an elite perimeter defender to put next to Trae Young. The C's got an elite guard defender in Marcus Smart.

Smart + minor asset for Hunter + filler would be a valid trade salary-wise.

Who would be your #1 trade target?

Realistic? Horford and Hill for Kemba or the TPE plus picks.

I see no reason why Atlanta would want to move Collins or Hunter. They are two promising young players to go alongside Trae Young. Doesn’t make sense for them to trade either guy to Boston.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I second the motion. Collins is the best player, fit, age curve that might actually be available. After Collins I might say Marvin Bagley since I do think he has way more in him than what he's shown.

The not-available-why-even-ask-hang-up-the-phone guys I'd be interested in are Jaren Jackson Jr and DeAndre Ayton.

I don't have an strong opinion about any players that look to be available but what about Markkanen.

Edit: looks like he just signed an extension so the poison pill on extension would probably rule him out.

John Collins if he’s available.

Can someone share (considering this seems to be brought up a lot): other than the Hawks having lots of bigs, why would John Collins be available?

Vucevic, if the Cs are looking to make a championship push this year.  If not, the Cs will pick up a bought-out veteran.

In on Harrison Barnes (maybe see if we can sneak Bagley or Holmes in there too). Not sure what it would take though.

I've heard he doesn't like playing with Young, who dominates possessions. Not sure of the other reasons.
