    Paging Neil Olshey....the trades have started. Feel free to jump in with all those players you valued so high to pay them a fortune and make something of it.

    This trade says Dwight Howard literally has less value than Miles Plumlee and Marco Belinelli.

    WHAT THE FUCK

    Crazy. I don't think this deal makes a whole lot of sense for either team.

    Does Cody Zeller come off the bench now or do they go big?

    This looks like a salary dump by the Hawks, possibly becoming a player in the FA market, and going young at the same time. That's if they decide against re-signing Millsap to another contract.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Howard has fallen off dramatically since his prime, plus he's the type of player this era has marginalized plus he doesn't like playing in the pick-and-roll, so he can't even be DeAndre Jordan. I'm not at all surprised that his value is super low.

    Howard run his mouth off how the coach decisions was in the playoffs so I had feeling he would be gone. So Howard instead of you running your mouth off about the teams you play for what you go practice your free throw so can stay on the floor.

    Hypothetically would you have traded Crabbe and Leonard for Howard (and salary filler if needed - haven't looked at contracts)?

    Or is this too easy of a question? I would have even if I never played Howard on the team. Man I guess I have soured on Leonard. Trading him at his absolute lowest point. Probably a good idea that I am not the GM.

    We might as well be gentleman and help the Hawks tank.

    Turner for Millsap and any draft picks the hawks want to unload.

    Millsap is older than Howard, so Millsap should be worth less than Howard in a trade.

    Your right, Howard is opting out. I thought he had another year remaining on his contract.

    Call it the fog of war; this has been a very confusing day.

    There's a lot of fecal humor spreading around. I think we need to call CDC to shut it down before we get an outbreak of giardia.
