  1. Trade young to the bulls for lavine. Will be a good trade for both teams. Bulls need a pg. Hawks need a wing scorer

  2. I've been said this…It's simple what's wrong with the hawks if you're not a casual or a trae young apologist. He's a smaller more inefficient version of Houston harden who turns the ball over like a low 2k iQ player with a worse shot selection and worse defender than harden. He won't play off ball which would actually benefit him and his team so they run an actual offense not just PnR 95% to see if u can get a lob. Almost never running easy actions for collins or hunter to get them going they're annoying to watch offensively bcuz if they incorporated hunter more offensively and run less pnrs and more off ball actions they would easily be 6 games above .500 bcuz this would make everyone want to play defense bcuz they feel more involved offensively so they're defense would be better…

    dont let his assist numbers fool you dude only passes to get assist majority of the time and also he has the ball a lot… trae young is the obvious problem bcuz of attitude and the he way plays and he needs to add weight and do more off ball work.. either trade him or he has to change his mindset or they're never reach they're potential.

  3. Damn, I hate those silver headphones. IDK why but they make me (physically) angry. WTH? 🙂

  4. I wish the Hawks could be consistently good-to-elite for a long period of time. Would be good for the city of ATL. Otherwise, this (pro teams' lack of success) is why ATL has always been just a "college town."

  5. Would a Dame for Trae, Okongwu and Jalen Johnson be reasonable or maybe a 3 team trade.?

    Dame gets to play more off ball.
    Murray and Hunter defends the best offensive perimeter players.

    Murray
    Dame
    Hunter
    Collins
    Capela

    with Bogdanic as your 6th man

  6. Jaylon Brown, SGA are guys I’d look at only if a trade is demanded. If not, let them get a whole year together before we start trying to move our biggest asset.

    SN: I know that’s his boi, but don’t even look over there at Minnesota for Gobert. (Unless☝🏼, that’s what it takes to get Ant)

  7. If I was the Pels, you got draft assets give them Cj and a couple picks. Then Dejounte can move back to PG, he was part of the spurs system for years, now Quinn there from the Pop Tree can probably run the offense. the pelicans have enough wing and point of attack defenders, to surround Trae. Then him and Zion pick and roll

  8. Get Trae better players so he doesn't have to be the number 1 option and the Hawks will fly… See what I did there? But seriously, he's best when he's not the number 1 option. Try to get jaylen brown

  9. Murray is a better overall player than Trae. Not as good a scorer but he rebounds, defends and is an actual leader.

  10. I believe in Murray being their PG going forward, he’s a true PG has size, plays both sides of the ball. Whenever I see him play PG for them with Young out the team gels so much better than dribble the air out of the ball Trae

  11. What do people think the Hawks could get for Young on the trade market? What teams might want to trade for him? Legitimately, what team wants to take on a tiny guard who jacks up bad shots at the worst times and refuses to play defense who is on a max contract? Seriously, what front office thinks that they can build a winning team around Trae?

  12. Schlenk apparently didn't want to give up the picks Murray. But was overturned by ownership. One of the reasons he left.
