Kind of reading between the lines, but I think the key is that this isn’t a player who hasn’t been rumored for us but instead a package we haven’t seen rumored for a player who has been linked to us?

AJ has a good frame for his age. Defensive instincts aside, having a body that can handle the grind will help.

Regarding PG, I think our core could use someone who has been there and performed in big moments (albeit not a championship winner) and could command respect from the younger core. Not sure if KAT does that, though I’m all for him playing with Trae.

James Harden’s beard and Trae’s hair would make for quite the pairing.

For those of you that follow the league more, do you think Rudy Gay has a place in our rotation? His stats obviously reflect an older player getting 10-15 or so mins a game, but does he have any use other than a vet helping young guys learn the in and outs.

In that sense, I can agree (while still being disappointed) that we won't be hearing John Collins trade rumors all year long.

I'll let the offseason play out, but this is definitely a disappointing start. Best of luck to you, JC! Good player but even a better person.

I don’t see us getting rid of Bogi. It honestly feels like we are going to run it back unless it’s a DJM + talent offer to improve our team. I’m good with that knowing we have QS running the show. Thanks for passing on your info, @NBASupes.

The new insider thread started off with a bang, as expected .

@Spud2niquefor the record, that thread was a mess and the closing had nothing to do with you. Like @Sothronsaid, it was a monster thread that had about 100 different debates going on. I actually asked @AHFand the moderators to consider putting a rumor thread at the top, which they luckily agreed to trial, because once information was shared it would get buried so quickly. I'm normally on here at least once a day and I had no idea what was going on for awhile there lol.

Not saying it didn’t hit his mind, but the Spurs getting Wemby wasn’t a guaranteed thing.

I love the fact in the NFL and NBA draft people are just waiting around to make trades if you aren’t in an obvious position to make a pick.

Wait, this is news. You guys aren’t there for the De’Andre Hunter Draft watch party?

Their own first overall pick in the draft next year, or so they hope.

There were so many teams that were talented but didn’t fit well last year so I can see why. I mean, you had the Heat in the finals lol. With the parity in the league (which I love), a lot of teams probably feel they are a tweak or two away and are looking for some win/win scenarios for both teams.

I’ll give you the go ahead if that helps.

I’ve always said the perception is there because of highlights. Solid game management and getting guys great looks that don’t result in monster dunks don’t show well and that hurts Trae’s perception. They just show his deep threes and a random lob to CC, so most folks assume that is his game. Ja does more flashy stuff (no pun intended for his off the court stuff) so people just assume he is better.

Watching this coaching carousel play out makes me really thankful we went ahead and grabbed Quin during the regular season.

Do they think he can still play too or something? For a franchise that has some good history, they really have become such a joke.

There are about 40 people that post in here. We are all fans of the Hawks, a franchise we all love but when you tell people you are a Hawks fan they usually ask why. Everyone has emotions and is titled to their opinion, but we are all here because we love that team. We are a small and unique bunch and with our season over, there is going to be less to talk about. If something is making you mad or unhappy, I always say just walk away and come back when you are ready. Same to those folks causing problems. Just my random .02. This is a great community and everyone makes it that way in their own unique way.

And trying to explain to people, not on this forum, who casually follow the Hawks that Trae Young is not going to the Lakers and having to explain why 100 times.

@kg01what happens in prison?

Marcus has kind of matured as an annoying player to a good but semi annoying player lol. I remember him stepping over Trae a couple of years ago and that was a bad look. I respect his game now, he’s solid.

I love the way they play the game and they don’t have divas like Paul Pierce. A big reason I’m thankful for Snyder is I think we will see more of that style of basketball. Making the extra pass, good defense, etc.

The tough thing with the Celtics is I hate the organization, but I actually like the team. I wish they were the Kings or something lol.
