Just checking in. This whole page is negative, but we're up 5. What gives?

On to the next, let's hope we start streaking!

[ ] I fell for it again.

Two days ago, I was saying to keep him if no reasonable offers came in for him. I've never been in the DJM must-go at all costs camp.

I'm all for keeping DJ and upgrading our front court + bench depth however we can. I'm not sure how we do that, but I'm all for this angle if possible.

I wouldn't call Landry a screw-up. He hasn't really made any bad moves that I can remember. We're all losing our minds over rumored trades that are coming from the media, Klutch, and opposing teams.

Depends on the picks and his willingness to play.

His trade will shape the next direction of the team; there is every reason not to take any return. I could give a d@mn how he pouts for the rest of the season. If we don't get an adequate return for him, he stays until the offseason.

I wish our FO were competent enough to get the message out loud and clear that DJM is off the market for anything less than our asking price.

This proposal would have the top picks going to teams that just missed the play-in in hopes that the rookie could put them in the playoffs.

I'm sorry but with national media finally saying we want 2 1sts and a good player for Murray. There is no way we just trade Trae for our picks back. All-NBA Trae Young is not going anywhere anytime soon.

That would be great, but given the reason they wanted Trae to stay home for the Heat game, they want to showcase Murray as a PG to the league. As long as he balls out, he'll be gone by the deadline.

Trae Young injury update: Hawks star placed in concussion protocol, out indefinitely https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/trae-young-injury-update-hawks-star-placed-in-concussion-protocol-out-indefinitely/ Welp we are definitely about to tank now. DJM probably will probably be traded soon to improve our draft pick.

Remember when we thought Big O would turn into a defensive monster Center? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I want more of this from Patty; I don't know how much more he has in the tank though.

Why was Quinn yelling at Bogi on that play? Multiple guys didn't run back on defense.

Nobody is saying he suddenly fits and to not trade him. We are only saying that the proposed trades do not give us back adequate value for his skills. We would rather pull him off the market and see what the team can do the last half of the season before we just give him away. Revisit trading him in the offseason when other teams know they will need a PG for their roster.

I'm not trading DJM for any other situation than one that brings in another star that pairs better with Trae and JJ. If that situation does not exist right now, it is on Quinn as the coach to get our team figured out and produce better rotations. We should not give Murray away just to get rid of him. That's stupid.

I look at the FGA and %. That to me is the quantifiable "Trae effect". Clint is not getting 8 shots a game on any other team and Robinson would be getting more than 4 shots a game playing with Trae.

This is a parody Shams account. Not a real report from him.

What OG numbers are better? And how does DJM being under contract for 4 years make him worth less than a UFA that you will have to overpay for? Did you just troll us?

I'm not waiting until 2028 to have another contending Hawks team. If the plan is a complete rebuild, then go ahead and trade Trae now. We will waste a generational offensive talent because our stupid owner and his son couldn't let the basketball minds stick to the plan. IF the actual plan is a total rebuild, then I don't know how much longer I can be a Hawks fan. I've been here through losing season after losing season. I still buy multi-game ticket packages and season tickets for some years. But I can't go through another rebuild after this. We lucked into one of the most win-win trades with Luka and Trae, and we are just gonna waste his prime years rebuilding and trading away all of his running mates.

None of that has been seriously said. You can shame us all you want, but a DJM trade with the return centerpiece being Grimes is a horrible deal. We feel he has more value than that, and we have the right to feel this way as fans. If we need to tear it down and rebuild a bit, fine let's do that. But just getting rid of DJM for minimal value is not how we start that process. You don't trade your second-best player for a role player. Keep him and remove other pieces like Capela, Hunter, Bogi, etc.

This meltdown brew is almost done. Messy Ressy and Landry are brewing up a storm.
