With the trade deadline arriving at 3:00 pm ET on Thursday, rumors continue to fly around in NBA circles. The Atlanta Hawks have been tied to a number of players in reported trade talks and, along the way, several of Atlanta’s own pieces — headlined by John Collins — have been mentioned as potential trade fodder. On Wednesday afternoon, however, those eager to see the Hawks simply cruise through the deadline without a major shake-up received some positive reinforcement from prominent national reporters.
As part of a half-hour television special — later released in podcast form — ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe discussed many different trade rumblings.
