With just one week until the trade deadline, teams around the league are looking for options to improve their rosters, and two of the names being mentioned are Hawks star Bogdan Bogdanovic and 76ers wing Matisse Thybulle
'Half the league' calling Hawks about Bogdanovic
Despite pulling off a blockbuster trade for Dejounte Murray in the summer, the season has not gone to plan for the Hawks.
)
They sit eighth in the Eastern Conference at 25-26 and have dealt with even more internal drama around Trae Young and head coach Nate McMillan.
There has been a steady stream of rumors coming out of Atlanta in recent weeks, mostly about the status of forward John Collins but while the Hawks haven't been able to find many suitors for Collins, their phone has been ringing off the hook about Bogdan Bogdanovic.
According to a report from CBS, "half the league" has been calling the Hawks to gauge the possibility of a deal.
At this point, however, the Hawks do not appear inclined to move the 30-year-old, who is averaging 15.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
He is one of their best 3-point shooters at 36.7 percent. It seems as though it would take a major offer to get the Hawks to reconsider their stance.
Warriors, Kings interested in Thybulle
Matisse Thybulle's defensive capabilities have never been in question; the 76ers wing made All-Defensive Second Team in 2021 and 2022 and finished fourth in the league in steals last season at 1.7 per game.
Whether he can do enough on offense to stay on the floor and make his defense worthwhile, however, has always been up for debate. While the Sixers tried to make it work in the past, they've been less interested in doing so this season.
Thybulle is down to just 12.1 minutes per game, and has only made spot starts here and there. With an uncertain restricted free agency approaching this summer, the team could look to move him at the deadline.
)
If so, he will have suitors, including the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Warriors have been short on defensive-minded wings since losing Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. in the summer, while the Kings could really use a defensive stopper as they make their playoff push.
