    Yahoo Sports analyst Kevin O’Connor recently floated a major trade idea involving the Hawks, suggesting Atlanta could acquire Anthony Davis from the Dallas Mavericks in a blockbuster reset move.

    Here’s the full proposed package:

    Hawks receive: – Anthony Davis

    Mavericks receive: – Asa Newell – Kristaps Porziņģis – Luke Kennard – Two future first-round picks

    O’Connor’s reasoning: the Hawks could take a big swing by adding an elite defensive anchor and interior presence, while Dallas would pivot into a rebuild around Cooper Flagg with a young piece in Newell, added draft capital, and significant expiring salary flexibility.

    For Atlanta, it’s a clear “ceiling play” — but it also means parting with a promising rookie and multiple firsts.

    Hawks fans, what do you think? Should Atlanta go all-in for AD if a deal like this ever hit the table, or is the price too high for where the team is right now?
