The Atlanta Hawks came into 2023-24 with expectations to be better than they’d been the last couple years where they ended up as low seeded first round exits. Trae Young and Dejounte Murray were going into year two as a duo, young players like AJ Griffin, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu felt poised for breakout seasons, and new head coach Quin Snyder did a pretty good job with the team in his short tenure last season. However, they’ve been bad and are sitting on the verge of the lottery a quarter of the way into the season. It’s been an incredibly disappointing start to the year, one that could lead to Trae Young leaving sooner than later. Let’s talk about it.

Pain. 😔
Trae puts up generational numbers like prime Russ but he simply isn’t a winning player, his tendencies are an Achilles heel for the team, Murray and him also redundant. I think as a third best player on a contender he could help but his weaknesses are hard to compensate for and his off ball game is pathetic for such a good shooter 🤷♂️
As a hawks fan. I have been suffering, but you gotta get through the bad to get through to the good 😅
Hornets next

Get fukt Trae!!
Team building tip: never have your two best players play the same position.
As a Hawks fan that also hears a lot from other fans, this is SO painfully accurate to what’s going on with the team and sentiments around it. We’re back to saying “Trae needs help!” Pairing him with size and athleticism is what’s going to help push the Hawks to where they want to go.
Massive W video.
Spurs won that dejounte trade. Spurs completely robbed the hawks of everything they have in draft capital. They got atlantas pick unprotected in 2025 and a pick swap in 2026 from atlanta. They gave up most of their future for dejounte murray. Absolutely insane.
This hasn't been talked about enough. W video
Trade Trae for Kyrie … this should be a contender
Cone, I kinda don't like but respect you finally giving my Hawks the video they deserve. On one hand, I don't like it when the Hawks who are my favorite team get negative things said about them, but on the other hand, it's good to finally discuss it when they've been playing really bad despite no one really talking about it, I mean we lost to a Cavs team that's without Garland and Mobley, (By the way the Cavs to me are boring, their colors and city and name are all boring, and even with Mitchell I wish LeBron would come back at some point), but yeah Trae Young has been great he's really turned his season around, this team makes no sense to me, Trae Young is looking like his former self, Dejounte Murray is a good number 2 and is having a great year, and Quin Snyder is a good coach yet this team is looking even worse than last year so far, now there are some things to look forward to like how we are missing Jalen Johnson and will get him back soon, that we play in an Eastern Conference whose bad teams are just straight up terrible, which means we still got a shot to at least make the play-in, and that we still got Trae Young who is back to his former self which feels good to say I like Trae unlike most people love watching him play, and I don't see him leaving, I feel like he is too loyal to Atlanta as well as the Hawks potentially turning this thing around, so yeah not a lot of positives but we'll see how everything turns out.
Great now the Cone Curse will ensure Atlanta’s playoff run 🥲
