The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Sekou Smith teases the Hades out of something us keypad commandos have been wondering about all season.
Word is they've got something brewing, a trade that could drastically change the look of this team heading into this week's Western Conference road trip and beyond. It wouldn't be right to share details right now. Not with the particulars still somewhat murky and no deal officially done (what I can tell you is that not all the talent is heading to the Western Conference. Some of it might head East).

What I can tell you is this, after all the moaning and groaning that's gone on around here over the Hawks sitting on their nest and not seeking out a spark to shake things up a bit, there appears to be a serious roster shake up on the horizon. And I mean SERIOUS!
Just to get your gears cranking, I'll lay out the theoretical parameters. Atlanta has about $11 million in small, expiring contracts and all its future picks except this year's first-rounder (which goes to Phoenix). The assumed needs are point guard and center. The bait could very well be Josh Childress, a tremendously underrated player trapped behind Josh Smith and Marvin Williams in the rotation.
