Official: Salmons & '15 2nd round pick to Hawks for Williams & Nogueira

[ceez]

i'm almost hyperventilating at how ridiculous a deal this is

[planetmars]

Wow... this is crazy.. Lou Williams is actually pretty good.. really platoons the SG spot though. Atlanta must be looking at free agency hard this season to give up Lou and a first round prospect for cap relief.

This is better than Prince and 22.

[MACK11]

Yeah I have no idea how John salmons could get us Lou Williams and a 7foot shot blocking prospect!

Masai is something else LMAO

[planetmars]

Time to look at YouTube for Nogueira highlights

[ceez]

nevermind lou williams (btw i love lou williams) this trade is all about Bebe. dude's got crazy defensive potential.

This is... incredible. Thank you based Masai!

Lou is a great backup combo guard. Can score in bunches and is efficient, not a bad playmaker at all either. Also doesn't mess up 2015 free agency plans at all, as he's owed 5.25M I believe in 2014-15 and is a free agent afterwards.

Nogueira is another excellent prospect to pick up and should slide in as the backup center. Not sure if he can actually come over next year? But last year he shot 70% from the field in the spanish league and blocked almost 4 shots per 36. Excellent high potential pickup.

This is like one of those trades people post on this board and it leaves me going "why would the other team possibly do that?"

[imanshumpert]

If we can bring back Lowry, 2Pat, and Vasquez our lineup is looking stacked for next season.

Lowry/Vasquez
DeMar/Lou Williams
TRoss/Caboclo
Amir/2Pat
Jonas/Nogueira

I agree, but lou williams will do amazing job off the bench.

By the way, it's 9pm in T Dot.. Masai is working overtime.

Hawks definitely have some major free agent targets, no other logical reason for the deal.

I know, I feel like Ujiri would've done Salmons for Williams straight up but managed to hoodwink the Hawks into giving up Bebe as well.

[MACK11]

Anyone know when he's gonna come over?
