What should the Atlanta Hawks do? | The Athletic NBA Show
The Atlanta Hawks the Atlanta Hawks I think they’re 14 and 21 now apparently everybody except for Trey young and Jaylen Johnson on the trade block um scale of one to five Josh where are you with the Hawks I’m thinking I I gotta go it’s a little different situation right CU they’re we
Don’t look at them as a champion we don’t expect them to play championship basketball like the worst but I still gonna be at can I do a 3.5 sure yeah 3.5 okay 3.5 I think moves need to be made I mean just watching them play like I do think that they need
A good Wing they gave 50 assists yeah that’s 50 assisted baskets to the Pacers in a regulation game yeah what do you what do you think about Draymond ending up there and then they can move Draymond and Dame on the H Draymond we we don’t want to set up
Draymond with another Jordan pool situation there is no way he he would enjoy playing with Trey young just zero chance you know they so I’m just thinking because then they can move Jaylen Johnson to the three which I think is a good a good spot for him at
The three I think they have to play him at the four right now either they need to bring in a legit three or they need to bring in a good defending fourman and be able to move Jaylen Johnson to the three this is such an unserious franchise
This they I thought I really thought and this is on me hand up my bad I thought Quinn Snider was going to take this franchise to respectability I saw them in the playoffs last season I like there’s something there they they are going to build something they’re going
To come back they’re defense is going to be better there’s something there it’s called four losses they are 28th in defensive offic 28th Trey young has historically bad they went out they know that their franchise Cornerstone is Trey young and they went out and got de Jon Murray whose defensive reputation far exceeds
What he actually is as a defender on the court who also kind of overlaps with some of what Trey does doesn’t give you right spacing next to Trey and the Clear Vision here is Trey Young the center of an offense surrounded by big long dudes who could play defense and they couldn’t
Get that right they went out and got dejonte who doesn’t fit and here they are 14 and 20 just disgusting it’s a five like Jaylen is fun though he’s he’s cool I tried to tell you about him um it’s a five for the Hawks this is dumb
Like this is like this team is not capable of playing they’re still in financial hell they’re in Financial hell everyone should go like it this is this is a team that made the Conference Finals kind of by accident right made the Conference Finals by accident like they they lucked into it
We get like we gota congratulations you made it and you and you push the Bucks a little bit but they made it because the Sixers short circuited at home in a game seven right since then they have been garbage this has been a disappointing team Trey young even talked aled about like early
On that next season about like yeah it’s kind of hard to get up for these games when you’ve been to the Conference Finals like that’s the job that’s how you get to the conference final right is by being good in those games they do not understand it doesn’t matter like it and
This is this man thought he’d won six rings because he got to the conference fin this is a top to bottom issue like this isn’t just with the players or the co like the entire organization has no idea what they’re doing like it’s just like they there
Needs to be an entire overhaul and maybe that like yeah keep TR like you don’t have to trade Trey or what but like build a proper team and I think they tried to do that um but man like this team is nothing to to like fear in any
Way because you know yeah they’re gonna score like amazing offensive team even worse on defense we’re GNA they right yeah like it’s just there’s there’s no way to take them seriously
