The Hawks have made Saddiq Bey available for trade, per @BrettSiegelNBA

You are right.  It doesn’t make any sense on the surface.

I would test Martin for 1 SRP. He fills the need as a big wing. Probably not a long-term solution, but perhaps Mavs can resign him to a team friendly deal next season.

Jerami Grant
Kyle Kuzma (gross)
Daniel Gafford
PJ Washington
Isaiah Stewart
Chris Boucher

His defensive impact is not as it has been, not sure how much is on him and how much on Atlanta. But, he is still a very good player on a very good deal. Efficient 20+ ppg, can create, can pass. Just started his prime years. Definitely at least in the same class as Grant or Kuzma. How is it possible Atlanta is even considering trashy LA offer? Even, if they can get some sucker to pay a lottery protected FRP for Russell (which I doubt). Everyone would laugh on this board if Mavs would be offering 2027 and THJ, which is basically equivalent to what Lakers are offering.

I am sure Mavs can pull deals for Boucher, Stewart, Washington and Gafford with what they have. Not sure I would like the deal, though. None of them is imho a difference maker, just another 5-8 rotation player and Mavs have plenty of those as it is. I am not considering more than a couple of second rounders for such players.

(01-22-2024, 04:11 PM)omahen Wrote: He will demand an extension next season, probably at least MLE level. I haven't watched him last two years, but Hawks fans think he is worse defender than Trae. Shooting just 31 % from three this season (35 % career average). Not really much there that would convince me, even if he is available more or less for free

Looked into the Hawks on/off numbers a bit and Capela seems the common denominator for all their bad five man units.  He certainly does not function in small ball units, which we specialize in. On the other hand Bey works really well with Bogdanovic, Young and Murray. Also he´s a RFA. I doubt he´ll get more than Green, so question is what you pay and what you are willing to pay going forward. 

Ultimately with ourlimited  assets we have to focus on players like Bey. I also would like to sign or acquire all the guys that are 20/5/5 shooting 50/40/90, but for that to happen, we first have to acquire the Thunder´s 25 first round picks from the next five years.
