Do you think the Hawks will tamper with chemistry right now with how well they're playing?

[CsBanner18]

Hawks will likely not want to do the deal. I read that Lawson & Faried could be had for "godfather offers"  and that Nurkic is off limits in any trade...

Yes, if they can acquire a player like Chandler to solidify them as the best team in the East.

I don't see why Den would trade Nurkic or ATL would trade Schroder.

I included Lawson and Nurkic with the idea that a second trade could yield Cousins from the Kings. The Kings would acquire Afflalo; the Nuggets would acquire a slew of draft picks and perhaps a youngster like James Young, from the Celtics.

Olynyk has a higher ceiling than Nurkic, and Schroeder is stuck behind Teague.

Schroder is valuable peice on that team under control for cheap money but they trade that for Wilson Chandler? No chance imo.

Lawson, Harris, and Nurkic for just Bradley and KO? Maybe if you add two a couple of 1st rounders to it, but that's still probably not enough.

I agree.

First off, I think Nurkic is practically untouchable unless it's an offer they (cliche') can't refuse. And if Denver is going to trade those guys, they'll ask for either a young star player (which we don't have) or draft picks.

Especially that since they got 2 1st for Mosgov, they're going to need more than that to let Nurkic and Lawson go.

[Endless Paradise]

How in the world do you figure that Olynyk has a higher ceiling than Nurkic?

[ABOS (A bit of Sanity)]

Because he's on the celtics of course

[Ea2mon]

The Nuggets have said that their only untouchables are Nurkic and Harris. And I don't think the Hawks do anything to mess up what they have going for them right now either
