End of an era
Damn
Wow. While I’m ready to move on, thank you Trae.
dawg not even a second
end of an era…be well trae and sorry it didn’t work out
As a Hawks fan living in DC, I have a lot of emotions and need to lie down.

Ice Trae during the 2021 playoff run was a peak Hawks moment. He ended Simmons career and took out the knicks in the garden.
thanks for the memories and welcome CJ and Corey
Wishing him well in Washington.

im not ready yet
Nothing bad to say about Trae. It was time. Wish him well.
my heart hurts
Goodbye Trae the 14-15 Hawks originally got me into watching basketball and I stopped for a while but you got me back into watching basketball again. Thank you Trae wish you the best.
Later Trae, wish you all the best. Thanks for some iconic as fuck moments over the years
Yep, he left the bench a few minutes ago. We’ve been watching him all game for that move. 😢😢😢
he’s gonna be an absolute menace to play against when he comes back to ATL and it’ll be awesome
Damn Man.
Holy shit this all escalated so fast it feels unreal, not even that long ago he was praising everything about the Hawks to then mutually wanting out to then deal gets done.
It’s shocking how much Trae’s value has fallen. Couldn’t even get a pick. Any pick. For him.
Also Idk why the Wizards would do this. Their FRP is protected 1-8, if it falls to 9 it goes to the Knicks. They aren’t trying to win this year.
my stomach hurts
I’m gonna be sick
This what yall wanted?
Trae was traded for literally peanuts just so Ressler didn’t have to open the pocketbook a little.
Damn… it’s done 🫠
Trae was traded for a salary dump. Damn.
This is ridiculous
Bro, I swear if Trae’s prime suddenly turns into a efficient scorer, I’ll be sad af. Hope he gets paid man and wins a Championship in the future.
Onyeka is now the only player left from the ECF run…
My heart is broken man, never hoped it’d be Trae
Favorite basketball player ever, someone who got me back into the NBA when I was on the verge of giving up on the sport
I thought he’d be a lifer here. But all things must come to an end I suppose
Thank you for everything, Ice. You will always be 11 in this city no matter what happens. I hope you find your way back to us eventually. I’m glad you’re going to get your payday
i really dont know how much more the hawks can do to me man 🙁
Man I accepted it was happening but this is really hurting
Desmond Bane got 4 1st rounders and all Trae could fetch was some trash…
I really hope Trae can go on to solidify himself as a great player in the league.
I understand it was time to move on, but Jesus fuck this is terrible return value
