Hawks Off-Season Trade Blawk
Posted: September 10th, 2025, 11:47 am
Jonny "Kum Bucket" Kuminga - A top perimeter defender with high quality efficiency, solid rebounding at the 3 (terrific at the 2), and strong stocks. How many guys are there in the league like him ? Very few. Great glue guy to build a team around.
Usman Garuba - Exceptional per-minute rebounder, doesn't shoot, and over 2:1 stock to turnover - what more could you ask for from a big guy?
Derrick Lively II - Stud. Blowout offers only. Will still likely decline.
Derrick Jones Jr. - This guy has really sticky fingers. Another quality team build "Glue Guy." Hawks suffered a noticeable amount after losing him to injury for 40+ days. On expiring.
Herb Jones - Quality depth piece and could help a particular team as a 5th starter.
Darius Adams - High-Volume scoring PG (Inside / JS are stacked). Unlikely I move him after Super Scout, but if Lively and Gorgeous are here then so is Adams. Which leads me to...
Shai Gorgeous - Arguably the best 2-guard in the league with added versatility. Lots of talk about his TOs but in his last season starting every game at PG he averaged 3.0 TOs per game. Will take a massive offer.
Feet - Absolutely not. All-time "vibes guy".
Cameron Boozer - "never gonna get this"
