I would say the bigger reason they are making this move is because last offseason they watched Horford leave for nothing. They want to cash in on these two leaving before they lose them for nothing as well. Not saying they think they would beat the Cavs if they kept this team together. Obviously it's not a chance they were willing to take.
They had ZERO chance of beating a healthy cavs team in the payoffs. ZERO. Just like last year their ceiling against the Cavs would be a 5 game series.

Hawks got 4 all stars for the same reason Nash and curry got mvps. Boredom and a feel good story.

So the fact that they could potentially lose 9 players in Free Agency, after losing Carroll and Horford in back to back off-season for nothing, has ZERO to do with this and any other trade?

What does this have to do with what I said? Also, if you go back to my original post on the Hawks I said they saw Horford leave for nothing, so they went to cash in on Millsap... This all doesn't change the fact that they had ZERO chance against the Cavs in a series.

Frye 3 missed 3's in 35 seconds...great rebounding by Love and then great shot by Kyrie kept them trailing after 3....and after a 22 point lead.

I blame COA for laughing at Warriors the other night if Cavs lose

Kyrie got 4 steps back in bounds before hitting that 3....either a bad call or a very late whistle

Think about how hard he was hit and no call then how little he touched them on that block. Ridiculous refereeing
