I don’t disagree. Kind of hard to trust the FO…so I’m a bit negative by default. But very good point. the thought is we can draft another star and it never happens so I can’t argue with anything you’re saying.

The biggest fear most of us have is that he’s going to demand out.

If Trae wants to be here we don’t need to stupidly send him away. So I hope he keeps this “high hopes” attitude.

HOW DO YOU DRAFT TRAE YOUNG AND DONT PUT DEFENSE AND LENGTH AROUND HIM FOR 6 DAMN SEASONS! This team lost track of the vision.

Don’t trust them or this owner. Once we trade Trae I will probably have to watch the hawks from a far. too much time and energy as a fan hoping this team does well…fails us every time.

Honestly I’m not really encouraged by what I’m seeing from OO. He looks like he regressed under Quinn. Don’t seem like OO is his type of player …I say trade OO too at this point. I would be ok getting a high lottery pick but I gotta be honest supes…I don’t trust this FO to make a smart move. unfortunately smart moves may not equal the best business decisions money wise.

I have no clue how fans are still showing up for this. The ice Trae effect will soon take a toll on this fan base with all the losses piling up. as soon as Trae gets that Atlanta Joe Johnson fan base attendance these owners won’t want shit to do with Trae.

No shock here. I believe it and I think fans who don’t believe it are crazy. We can’t fix this with Trae and probably will have to tank for 3-5 more years if we trade him. ive never checked out on the hawks but this is the first season I’m not watching games and definitely not attempting to attend them. Trae is at fault but so is the FO & Owners. They all share a big Blame for what this has turned into.

Trae equals money for this franchise but with the way things are going he will leave on his own terms in two years from now. i say trade him IF you think he’s out of here. i don’t feel like it’s all on Trae though…this franchise failed to make smart decisions. Nothing is wrong with a win now mentality but we made some bad contract decisions and trades. The owners have to blame themselves just as much as fans want to blame Trae. trae certainly didn’t do everything right but we are going to deal with this from most stars these days. Guys aren’t going to want to wait to win big or be relevant.

I had to do my own research on wiggins….I thought Wiggins had turned his career around after that championship season with the warriors but I see he’s back to minny Wiggins. i assume he really was playing well that season cause he was in a contract year. That’s the rumor and what warrior fans seem to believe anyways. Last season I see he missed most games because of spending time with his father which I completely understand. These guys are human and some people tend to forget that. If your parents are on their death bed it changes you. I know the feeling…. i guess for me I’m a little lost with Wiggins. Dude was absolutely amazing that last warriors championship season and even went to the all star game….then missed most games last season due to a family illness issue, and after he returns mid season last season up until now he hasn’t returned to all star Wiggins…..BUT are we sure this dude can’t get back to all star Wiggins ???? this board tends to call a lot or players ass but then when they end up in a different situation they are playing better than we expected. CJ Mccolumn, Randle, Jeremi Grant…..there’s others I just can’t recall. i just hope this isn’t one of those situations where we can get Wiggins but choose not to then he goes somewhere else and start showing out. We get burned way too often.

Unfortunately this is the biggest concern of mines. i wish I could predict the future. I think the hawks should work on extending Trae young’s contract as soon as it’s possible

I’m shocked about the amount fans on Wednesday night game. Encouraging but weird all at the same time ! and Embiid didn’t even play so this wasn’t fans coming to see another’s teams star.

Not to mention…Philly is in championship contention with Embiid. I would bet Harris is just as impactful and he’ll be on a better contract that meets his skill set. im not saying Siakam isn’t good but a trio of Maxey, Siakam, Embiid ain’t making the real contenders sweat. Hawks on the other hand is in a position where we need to comfortably make the playoffs so Siakam is more beneficial for us.

@Mikey @NBASupes @Sothron @Vol4ever was just wondering…all the insider info has been saying Siakam wants to go to Philly but I’m curious does Philly (or really Morey)…want Siakam too ?…to a point where they’d pay him big money or again does Philly even want Siakam at all ? im wondering if spicy p is going to get a wake up call when he hits free agency that his value isn’t as high as he may think . If Philly rejects him, where does that leave him? if I’m Philly and I have cap space (I believe that’s the case for them)…I’m not thinking about Siakam as my first choice of putting talent around Embiid and Maxey,

Wow ! Guess I been under a rock …I thought Wiggins had changed since being in GS,

That’s the one we need right there !…Wiggins! Wiggins and a first rd pick for Murray and filler

Keldon isn’t that good defensively that’s what make this whole thing unexciting. ive yet to see a offer that brings us back actual size which we need. if the pelicans are interested in Murray as rumored the best offer to me so far is herb jones + 1st rd picks. FO need to really focus on size around Trae. That’s an extremely important factor going forward if we are going to keep him.

Well at least my thoughts on our situation lines go to exactly what I believed. i knew we were in hot water….its very hard to have any faith in this FO. Unfortunately so. Atlanta Hawks and Falcons are a mess right now but falcons have a way better chance at correcting their mistakes this offseason. Hawks on the other hand is just screwed unless a miracle happens.

Come on KG…Trae wants to win and he’s been loud and clear about that. our FO constantly let’s him and us fans down. It may not be Traes intent. He very likely does want to win in Atlanta but when is he going to say ok enough is enough. This FO can’t get it done ??? im pass the whole star commitment. That doesn’t exist in the nba anymore and stars now have leverage as early as two years remaining on their contract. folks who are big Trae fans like myself won’t like it but no one can really be all that surprised to hear that this “assumption “ could very be true. I would rather just prepare for it rather than it be some big surprise this summer. Only way to avoid it is getting another superstar

Isn’t it obvious …..Supes is basically saying this FO is not capable of putting a team together to Traes desires. @Diesel has been saying do really think a bunch of picks is going to make Trae happy (in so many words). the answer is unless the hawks really make a drastic improving move this trade deadline or this summer. Trae is out of here and I’m a huge Trae fan like @TheNorthCydeRises but Trae is in prime years right now. We would be foolish ass fans to believe Trae is going to keep giving the front office chances to put a team around him. for right now I believe Trae is truly committed but let this be another downfall off season ….Trae is done with ATL. We can’t expect him to be so committed and the FO and owners keep making trash ass moves.

My bad! That’s my biggest fear!….unfortunately the way it looks is that this has way too big of a chance at happening. We just gotta keep it real. I hope you’re right. I can’t see how Trae can be in love with any of this and honestly at this point of where he’s at as a talent I don’t even blame him. i have absolutely no faith in this FO!!!!….NONE im like @JayBirdHawk and may have to wait to watch the hawks next season.

Exactly. more than likely the DJ trade will not be a great one in terms of player returns. also this isn’t a pack filled draft class coming into the nba this offseason. I’m not really in love with any high prospect so getting more picks for this offseason is a very blah move but again expected. it would be nice if we could gain back some kind of depth out of the trade to help save the season however the FO track record isn’t good. the only way I wouldn’t do a move is if they think they could swing a big deal in the summer by staying intact.

This wouldn’t shock me at all. Knick fans are killing Leon rose for the OG trade saying he gave up too much but if he swings a deal for Murray they are going to very much be in love again. you mentioned a young player….well considering Barrett and Quickly got traded already and Obi Toppin has already been traded I’m trying to understand who’s the good young talent that could come from the Knicks plus picks .

Been around long enough. I don’t get too high or too low. You should know this about me by now. I just try to get as much info as possible from the insiders to put two and two together. What do you mean not JTB?….ive never shared an upset post about a big trade not happening. I’ve shared post on idiotic trades such as the JC and Huerter give away. as I stated above I just want to get as much info as possible from the insiders. Ive been following the hawks for decades and been on this board longer than what my actual join date shows. Any true hawks fan knows that this franchise never pulls off big trades but that doesn’t meant there’s no conversations taking place in the background. for me sometimes just reading some positivity that the FO is even trying to get better provides a little peace. Like hearing about the high interest and serious talks about KAT is great!…we know it ain’t happening but I believe the insiders sources that the FO tried it lol
