AI GeneratedThe Atlanta Hawks are reportedly engaging in a shocking three-team trade involving the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets to acquire center Kristaps Porzingis. While the move significantly upgrades the Hawks' frontcourt depth and spacing, it carries a high risk due to Porzingis' extensive injury history.
Hawks fans, Hawks fans, we have breaking news.
Breaking news is out of Atlanta right now
and I have to bring you guys the news.
The Atlanta Hawks are making moves
right before the NBA draft
and it is surrounding the center position.
Now, again, this right here is a huge update, guys.
I'm talking about breaking news.
The Hawks just made a shocking Christoph Porzingis trade.
Yes, Christoph Porzingis is scheduled
to be an Atlanta Hawk.
We now have what I would like to call
a former Boston Celtic.
Threw that jersey away and the Atlanta Hawks
are trading for Christoph Porzingis.
It is reported so far that by Shams as well
and there's also like Jeff Fisker, Mark Stein.
It's being reported by multiple sources
that Christoph Porzingis will be coming to Atlanta.
Now, if you guys have been following Hawks Digest,
I dropped a video that said that they had a scenario
of Christoph Porzingis ending up in Atlanta.
Well, here we have it.
Here on June 24th, the day before the draft,
the Atlanta Hawks are trying to improve the center position.
Now, I will say, this is a huge risk.
Of course, we know the injury history,
everything surrounding around Christoph Porzingis,
but so far, because we're still waiting
for details to be finalized,
so honestly expect another video to come out
after this one from Hawks Digest.
But so far on the table, it's a three-team trade
between the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks,
and Brooklyn Knicks.
Now, the details so far of the trade
is, of course, Atlanta getting Christoph Porzingis.
We're also supposed to get a second-round pick.
Now, I'm assuming it's a second-round pick
in this year's draft, so we can still possibly go out
and get yet another center.
So I'm assuming that it could possibly be,
but we'll see when it happens,
when everything is finalized.
It could be finalized at any minute.
You know what I'm saying?
So just be on the lookout.
This is an exciting time.
This is breaking news.
So we're gonna definitely make sure we're on it.
But also, the Brooklyn Knicks,
they received our 22nd overall pick.
Yes, we've given up our 22nd overall pick,
but we still have our 13th overall pick.
So the Atlanta Hawks still are positioned
to take the right player for them at 13.
Then they still have the opportunity
to possibly get someone else in the second round,
maybe a Hassan Yang, maybe a Danny Wolf.
Who knows?
It depends on who's there,
but they definitely, honestly,
probably been looking at the draft boards,
been looking at the players
that they're looking at that they like,
and they possibly were saying,
hey, it may be a little rich at 22
to take Hassan Yang or Danny Wolf or Max Raynard.
You never know.
You never know what's going on behind the scenes
as people talk, as prospects.
We think they could be going this high,
but the rest of the league
may be thinking something totally different.
So maybe the Atlanta Hawks want to pivot
and say, hey, we can get more value
if we can get off some of these contracts
and pick up other picks, players,
otherwise like this.
But it's not over.
The Boston Celtics will be getting George Neang.
Also, the Brooklyn Nets will be getting,
like I said, a 22nd overall pick and Terrence Mann.
So the Atlanta Hawks will be receiving
a second round pick and Christoph Orzingas.
The Brooklyn Nets received the Hawks' 22nd overall pick
and Terrence Mann's contract.
So Terrence Mann will be off the books for the Hawks.
George's Neang, he had an aspiring contract
and it is going to the Boston Celtics with our 2031,
that's what the rumors are right now,
with the 2031 second round pick that we got
from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So there's a lot of moving pieces,
but you gotta look at it from a financial standpoint,
the Atlanta Hawks did get a little bit better
because if you think about it,
they got rid of two players, 15 mil,
and I believe around like eight, nine mil
for George Neang, and then they bring in
Christoph Orzingas' contract.
Now, I know he's making 30 mil,
but he is on an expiring contract.
In 2026, he is an unrestricted free agent.
So this is yet another expiring contract.
And if he can stay healthy,
because that is the biggest concern,
can Christoph Orzingas somehow, some way,
remain healthy for the Atlanta Hawks?
Because if he can, him being a backup behind double O,
coming in, being able to space the floor,
coming in, being able to give that pick and pop ability,
coming in, being able to actually protect the rim
a little bit with his seven foot frame.
We've been talking about we want a seven footer.
Yes, my biggest concern back in my video
when I talked about Christoph then,
you know, I said it was draft capital,
but mostly for him, it's can you stay healthy, young man?
And my thing is, I'm not sure about that,
but I do want players who can stay healthy.
That is my biggest concern, not necessarily his skillset,
because Christoph has really had to change his game
when he first came in.
I feel like he was a little bit more athletic,
but now when you look at it,
Christoph Orzingas is at a different timeframe
of his career, so you have to look at it like this.
If Christoph Orzingas can hold up, he's adding depth,
because we still have Moji, still have Dominic Barlow.
We'll see what else comes down the pipeline.
We're probably gonna add possibly another big man as well.
So you just have to wait and see
what exactly is gonna come down the pipeline,
but I'm telling you, this right here,
if this move pays off for the Atlanta Hawks,
you've added depth, you've got shooting.
The main concern I would continue to reiterate,
can this man stay healthy for the Atlanta Hawks?
We've suffered so many injuries since 2021,
and we are trying to get back on the healthy train.
So, Hawks fans, let me know how you feeling about this.
Are you guys concerned about Christoph Orzingas?
Do you guys like the move?
Do you like the fact that we got off
of Terrence Mann's $15 million contract,
and also Georges Niang's about $8 to $9 million contract?
But yes, we got off those two players.
Those two players also remain healthy
for the Atlanta Hawks too.
That's something you have to think about.
I already know it was a small sample size
coming off of the NBA trade deadline and all this stuff,
but they still remained healthy for the most part
and was available for you.
Can Christoph Orzingas come in and be available for you?
I wouldn't play him too many minutes if it was me,
because I want to keep him healthy, man,
so about 20 minutes a game, I wouldn't be mad at it.
But we'll see what happens,
because again, you don't want to necessarily hinder
any kind of development.
I just think that it's gonna be a time
where you possibly may even see Orzingas and Ocampo
on the floor together because of the spacing.
We'll see though, we'll see.
Waiting for the rest of the details to come out.
It should be coming out any minute now.
But Hawks fans, be prepared.
We're gonna go through full details, full disclosure
once everything is officially official.
Let's get ready, guys.
Let's go, Hawks.
Let me know your thoughts.
Peace and blessings to you.
We'll be right back at you.
And I'll hop.
