Bill Simmons dishes on explosive Hawks trade buzz surrounding both Trae Young, Dejounte Murray



The Hawks could trade Trae Young AND Dejounte Murray and start over with the No. 1 pick, per Bill Simmons

“Some people seem to think both of those guys are getting traded is a thing I’ve heard…From different people that don’t know each other, who know things, [they said that the Hawks are] just like, ‘You know what, we’ve got the number one pick, this didn’t work, we got to the Conference Finals that one time, let’s just try to blow this up.'”

    Hope Trae/Hawks’ biggest hater just making things up. Don’t agree with this direction at all

    this dude’s opinion on Atlanta sports is worth less than fuckin dirt, who cares

  3. not-a-potato-head

    Pretty much the only consensus opinion from league sources that’s out there is that nobody knows what the Hawks are doing. I’d shocked if Simmons/his sources are the first to find out when the team does make a decision as opposed to Woj/Shams/a local reporter

    I would be absolutely floored if we hit the reset button without control of our own destiny via our picks. Especially when Ressler wants butts in seats from the gulch revitalization

    I’d be happy with trading either if the return is right. Trading both, however? How’s that going to work?

    This isn’t a reset draft. This is a draft where you pick up a solid player who can *possibly* develop into a star.

    Honestly, if the Hawks had all of their first rounders for the next 5 years, it might make sense to reset and tank. As is, though, this is kinda dumb.

    It’s Bill Simmons there’s nothing worthwhile, especially about the Hawks, coming out of his mouth.

    Trading Trae now would be a mistake, he’s young enough to try to make something happen now and trade him later if things don’t work out. And this draft lacks a prospect worth building around.

    I’m going to shout it out a little louder for the people in the back.

    THERE IS NO LOGIC BEHIND BLOWING A TEAM UP IF THEY DON’T OWN THEIR FIRST ROUND PICK FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS!

    Even if they actually do want to blow it up and start a rebuild, they can’t. Just think a little bit. Good Lord.

  9. Y’all hate this man so much y’all post him every time he’s says some goofy shit . Stop feeding him attention it’s working against y’all

    If you don’t tell people what you’re doing they’ll just make something up…

    Some people say I can sing like Taylor Swift and can take a dump fatter than an obese truck driver but that doesn’t make it true.

    No real sources.. GTFO.

    We’re posting and possibly believing Bum Simmons now? A noted hater in every aspect of the city and team?

    The only way a reset makes sense is if San Antonio gives us our picks plus their picks and we keep number 1. That’s not going to happen.
