I get that this is a rumor and it’s been mentioned a couple times.
Thing is, Hawks will probably get about 3 first rounders for Trae. Which would see then either:
– go in full rebuild assuming DJM doesn’t resign and they will rely on the picks they get from Young + Capela + Boggie to rebuild with probably Griffin and Hunter the pieces they keep and they know their own picks until 2027 might be great but go to SA
– Keep DJM and build around him if he stays, but their peak would only be play-in which makes those picks between the 15-20 range which isn’t as appealing of course but still makes them very valuable and is only an i jury away to be a lottery and therefore a chance for a top pick
Wishful thinking, but this trade looks better and better with time. All you can ask for with first rounders down the line is a chance
You can’t build around DeJounte. It’s already been tried. He’s a robin not a Batman.
Pass
Wait what happened? Why is trae unhappy with the hawks?
I kinda doubt that but we’ll see I guess
Players these days…
I don’t know about this. Even if it’s a rumor, doesn’t mean they have to trade him. After this season, Trae has 4 more years in his contract; and it seems like more and more league execs are willing to take a chance and ride it out until they reach a last resort and have to trade.
The Hawks are in a bit of a weird position. They could possibly lose Bogdanović next season because he’s got a player option. At the beginning of next year, he’ll be 31, so he might be looking for a longer contract. The Hawks might also have to start figuring out if they can at least extend DJM because it’d be a really tough pill to swallow to see him just walk after next season. Seems like they’ve been actively trying to get rid of John Collins for the last 2 seasons, but still haven’t found the right trade
Like I get it, but I don’t necessarily agree with it. While the Spurs might benefit from the shit the Hawks might be getting into, I really don’t like that star players can hold organizations hostage by forcing them into moves, and when the moves don’t work out, they bounce. Leaving the org crippled for years after they’re gone
I don’t know if DJM lurks here or not, but all I can say is: wow. Tough break, dude.
For what it’s worth, I was in a pregame Q&A last month with Kyle Korver and Landry Fields and Korver basically lol’d at this idea and said he hasn’t heard anything remotely close to that from Trae. Landry had a “you must be stupid” look on his face. Seems like what any GM would say but I kinda take their word for it. They love Trae in ATL and they’re clearly gonna get rid of McMillan, so I think this rumor is BS.
Crazy to think dj will be the face of the Hawks
Can see this being possible but why only give DJ a year to be a champion playing with all new people
Damn I guess Trae and DJM aren’t working together like everyone thought.
Besides DJM slagging the Spurs how has he been doing In Atlanta? I told myself I’d watch but haven’t followed tbh
Is this trae admitting he can’t be that guy?
lol source: some bozo
I don’t think Trae Young is an NBA player. He gets abused on defense and he doesn’t shoot a high enough percentage to make up for it. He looks really good when he’s making his shots at a high percentage, but that doesn’t happen enough.
