Personally, part of the plan should be to get Kobe and AJ some type of playing time. I think we really need to see what we have going into the offseason at our guard position if we are trading DJM. I’d like to see OO remain starting out of curiosity how he plays in that role. Most teams are probably looking at CC as a bench player, I’d like to see how he could have an impact there and wouldn’t mind him closing out games if needed. Hopefully Hunter can stay healthy and Bey can go back to the bench. Not a knock on him, but a bench with Bogi/Bey/CC sounds worlds better than what we have seen most of the year. Hunter’s health has and will be a concern for us not just for his size and scoring, but we are so thin at that position. I mentioned in another thread we are pretty much guaranteed a top 10 seed (no celebrating here by any means). We have been playing better lately, hopefully it is a sign of things to come and not just a lucky stretch. Keep improving and end the season with a clearer idea of who should and should not be here next year.

I mean we do see him working out with a lot of the top players in the offseason. I don’t think the league is out to get him by any means. It has been discussed here already, but some of it is who wants to play with Trae AND in Atlanta too. We’ve had this problem for years regarding players wanting to play in Atlanta. Trae has really started to mature as a player, I’m sure his time will come.

Good memory, I thought he was further north. They have the Grizzlies though and he hasn’t played there either lol. Seems like most of Paul Hewitt one and dones haven’t really done much for GT or Atlanta in general.

He’s been mentioned so many times over the years on here, I’m surprised we haven’t spoken him being an Hawk into existence. GT bias too @Phunkabilly, but he was there for such a short time lol. Probably just a short memory in his life considering he wasn’t from Atlanta.

@Dieselgo to the second page of forum topics and there is a topic along the lines of “somebody tell me about this mysterious tweet” or something. The message is in there.

I don’t think it is too farfetched to say 2 or 3 games, having us either a game under or a game over 500.

Looks like some nice pull ups. Thanks again for your weird images and whatever bad dream comes out of it @HawksNWaffles.

Good post and I agree with pretty much all of this. I’d still like to focus on the front court in the draft, but that’ll kind of depend on where we pick. Regarding the wrong, I’ve felt like we have been missing JC a lot this year. Especially considering we didn’t get anything back. Sure, it let JJ grow..but our depth has suffered because JJ has been out of the lineup with injuries. I think you hit all of the good spots, which is why many of us want to keep DJM until the offseason. I’d like to see if we can make a decent run and play good basketball with what we currently have. If you ignore Hunter’s draft position, he’s a good player. We all want more from him, but it’s pretty obvious we aren’t good when he isn’t starting and forcing Bey to start. Again, limits our depth and the impact our bench can make.

I would rather see Dre’ out there tonight, feels like his limited minutes would be more useful in this game.

Well we haven’t really had one and are still sitting at 10. I don’t see any of the teams behind us catching up, especially if Brooklyn goes into tank mode. Not saying we can’t get higher, just that we are probably in the 7-10 range regardless.

If the Nets are indeed moving players, that kind of cements us as a top 10 seed. Nothing exciting about that, but it puts us in the play-in tournament where we are 3-0. Kind of pointless to tank unless there is a “win next year” move on the table.

Well it looks like the LA and Atlanta trade finally went down.

For the record, I saw this online that North Carolina is 10-20 in its last 30 combined football and men's basketball games at Georgia Tech.

DJM having some resentment towards Trae, or the favoritism for him. The message is weird - “Things we do in practice aren’t happening during the games.” We only have two players who mainly have a chance to run the offense and the game.

Sounds like a Trae problem, especially if he’s asking to talk to the players and see if anyone is happy. Snyder wasn’t our coach for most of last year, so it doesn’t seem like it is all at him. For the record, I’m not pointing fingers at Trae for all of this. I know you have mentioned there is a reason that he signed his extension, but as @AHF recently mentioned, this whole thing just doesn’t make sense.

How in the world has Luka dropped 60+ on us?

Sad thing is Trae’s concussion came from his improved defensive efforts lol. Now as this team is sinking I wonder how he responds.

@lethalweapon3 my random thank you for still doing these when all of us (even the positive ones) are fed up with the team. Much respect to you!

The way the roster is constructed, we are not a good team without Hunter. Bey needs to be coming off the bench, and our lack of depth makes him starting even worse. Dre can be an infuriating player, but I know he’s not going to go 0-12 (0-6) for us. I’d gladly take Dre’s 15 points per game, defense, and 40% three point shooting.

Feel like this is the same start to the last time we played Cleveland. Got back in the game late, but the slow start was too much to overcome.

@HawksNWaffles your AI images make me laugh and freak me out at the same time lol.

Matthews was added for leadership, not so much for his on the court performance. Maybe Dallas was wiser with their money, maybe we are just cheap, but the expectations of said players are very different.

@JeffS17 do you still have season tickets? Have you seen him on the bench? Is he interacting with the team if so?

Just checked the score, awful.

These rumors keep getting worse and worse. I went nothing to do with Wiggins or half of those trades. If it makes anyone feel better, I had a dream last night where I was at a game with Kent Bazemore and he repeatedly kept giving me high fives for any random play and kept talking about his career. I blame the ‘Squawk for this happening.
