  1. So entertaining when they play like this.
  2. Is this a real twitter post? If so Trae must know something.
  3. This is Diesel’s referendum to be clear. Lol. Seriously though, the only reason I get so mad at Dre sometimes is that I know that the only way we will be a championship level team is if he embraces his role as the best defensive player on the team. That means hustle plays, defensive rebounding, talking, and consistent effort. If he did that along with his other natural talent, we would be contenders with him and Trae. So far this season he seems to be doing that.
  4. So what is your decision on Dre based on these 6 games?
  5. Jalen Johnson is such a dynamic player. Now that he is making his jump shots, his game is really opening up.
  6. This team is playing some really good basketball. It just feels different.
  7. I noticed this too. They were picking up Trae at half court. The best thing about it though was that the entire team understood the spacing and started their offense like a 5 out but from half court instead of the three point line. I knew right away that Trae would take advantage of that with his passing or dribble penetration. That is the magic of being able to make shots from long distance.
  8. Brad is alright. Leave that man alone. Lol
  9. Boo. I knew you would clear up my cloudy thoughts. Lol.
  10. Shams Charania @ShamsCharania · Apr 17 Sources: New NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement numbers: - Non-Taxpayer MLE increases 7.5%: $10.5M to 12.2M - Room MLE increases 30%: $5.5M to $7.6M; max contract length now 3 years - New Second-Round Pick Exception: 3-4 year contracts up to minimum salary for third-year player
  11. Look in the notes you posted in the new CBA differences. I am pretty sure I read starting in the 24/25 season, teams will only be allowed to only give out a maximum of 3 years in a max contract.
  12. Correct but when you factor in that it will only be a 3 year deal instead of a 5 year deal then Mitchel will max out at about 200 million over three years vs 300 million in guaranteed money over 5 years that JB will get. The upside for Mitchell is if he is still playing at an all pro level after his three years, he could get another big contract. But if he gets hurt or starts to stink it up, he may not see that type of money ever again. I like the new CBA in that respect.
  13. I predict Jayson Tatum will be the highest paid nba player ever as he get a contract similar to this before the CBA restrictions kick in after the ‘24 season when contract extensions will be limited to 3 years. This is where Jaybird comes in and corrects me. Lol.
  14. Yes let’s Rise Up while being True to Atlanta while we Chop our way into the national media’s hearts. Go Dawgs!
  15. It will likely be more of an indication of how much the rest of the nba has improved. I don’t think people realize how many good players and teams there are in the nba right now. With the new format of play-in and in-season tournaments, even worst teams in the nba will be competing at a high level. I am willing to go out on a limb and say there will be no team in the nba that will have more than 61 wins and no team with fewer than 20. That means the Hawks would probably be around a 43 win team if there were no more major additions. To me, that is the most realistic positive outcome. Trae and Murray will have had a great season if that is the case. Now the real question is what playoff seed will they have with 43 or so wins? Also, I would still put my money on a Trae, DJ, and Snyder lead team in the playoffs to upset a lot of teams. I think there will be more parody in the NBA and we will have to be patient and supportive until the bitter end.
  16. Yeah play some defense. No reason he shouldn’t be a good defender.
  17. Caption “Do you want Deandre Hunter? Because I don’t” “Guys come on now he is not that bad.”
