NBA Twitter accounts made fun of fans' bad trade advice

Watch the Twitter magic unfold!

It’s NBA trade season, and that means rumors are flying, teams are frantically searching for new players and fans are praying for the best. Or, in the case of Atlanta Hawks fans, they’re giving unsolicited advice ... and lots of it.

In fact, the Hawks took to their historically fire Twitter account to joke about the armchair GMs who have something to say about everyone on their team:

And apparently it’s not just the Hawks with this problem! From this tweet, other teams started to sound off about their mentions, and the thread is complete gold. Because not only do NBA teams know trades better, they tweet better too.

The Magic agreed:

And so did the Nets, in meme form:

But the MOST exciting part was the very serious trade that resulted from a tweet conversation between the Hawks and Hornets. Watch how it played out:

OK, nice progress! Good deals start on common ground.

Ooh, something’s cooking!

YES! Unsolicited advice from the Clippers ... and using the NBA Trade Machine, too!

But should the Hornets take the deal?

The Hawks sure think so...

Drats. The Hornets drive a hard bargain. But the Hawks aren’t letting go without a fight.

Not a bad counter-offer. But is it enough to lure the Hornets back?

Not quite, but they’re almost there!

Woo! Success! Time to pop open the champagne and celebrate.

See what can get done when fans let teams sort things out on their own? So there was a moral here all along.

It’s an A+ trade, no question. Quite possibly one of the greatest trades in the history of the NBA, and CERTAINLY on Twitter.

But hey, without fans tweeting at teams, we wouldn’t have Twitter threads this great — so in the end, everybody wins!
