Despite the run, there has been no shortage of trade talks as Ben Simmons' name continues to be tossed around. But with the team playing its best basketball of the season right now, does GM Travis Schlenk need to make more moves before the NBA trade deadline?

Joe Casciaro, who is an NBA Columnist for TheScore, chats about the performance of the Hawks currently and why he doesn't expect them to be too active over the next two weeks.

"I don't expect a major move. This is the first time in the last two years that I can remember the Hawks at 100 percent full strength, and there's a reason people came into the season thinking the Hawks were one of the deepest teams in the league," says TheScore's Casciaro. "I would imagine the front office wants to see where this team can take it at full strength with all the pieces around Trae that they intended to be around Trae. I don't see them blowing this thing up.

"The Hawks are a very young team with a lot of upside, a lot of guys on long-term contracts under team control that can continue to grow in Atlanta. So I don't see a major move coming," continues Casciaro. "You have to let this team play through it, they haven't been healthy yet."
