Yeah, I think I will nominate @NBASupes and @Sothron for the positivity box next. Yall two have been so negative lately and If our insiders are negative like that, then there is no hope for this site. Here is some "The New Day" gif to cheer yall up

8 TO?!?!? Ouch. Its time for the Positivity Box.

With all of this negative energy going around here (I think we all need to take a break from all of this trade talk), I think we all should go to "Positivity Box" for a minute. @TheNorthCydeRises I think you need to go in first. I am Big E cleaning up

But seriously all of this doom and gloom does not fit this place. This team went through worse than this. Throughout the years from ASG to now, this team has dealt with a lot of issues. From ownership to quality of play on the court, it has been a trying time but one thing about it is that better days will come. I know that ownership gets alot of flax for their actions and its well-deserved but at the same time, what they are doing is not going to destroy this team forever, it is just a learning experience from them to see what they can do to improve (Believe me, the owners of the Braves and Falcons can tell you stories of their screw-ups). Right now, this experience is teaching them that if you want to have the Larry O'Brien trophy then you have to be fully on-board. If you are in this for a quick buck, then you might need to pass the ownership that wants to make it happen. At the end of the day, everyone should just calm down and look at the bigger picture or not and find somebody to place the blame on and having these media idiots wants to take Trae away from here.

I have to say that keeping JJ and Trae is a good idea. But I think the squad will be broken up very soon.

They started to do full court press and trapping, the curse of not have another playmaker is showing up again.

Look, we are going to off-load everybody except for Trae and JJ in the next few weeks, so let them get this in.

Yeah, that is the biggest fear right now, regardless if you like Trae or not. Trading Trae might give you assets but who is going to replace him, a player that wants to be here and wants to win here. That is the reason why that the Front Office needs to get their act together and make some changes.

Time for real talk. First of all, I know that some of us wants to trade Trae and on paper, that would be the best option, but we have to remember that Hawks is fighting for fans within the city regardless of what we say, he brings fans to the games (bottom line I know). Right now, he is producing 28/11 per night, who do you think will replace those numbers? I know that he gets on our nerves with his deep shooting and other stuff, but him and JJ (maybe OO, Bogi, and Murray) is trying to understand that system and win with it (It took two years for Bud system to show results, right now we are in year 1and close to half). Everybody makes mistakes and the ownership made alot of them, nobody is going to do the right thing when it comes down to building a team. I believe that this experience has shown them that if they have to be all-in and do what you have to do to win in this league or find somebody else that will (btw, this team is not going anywhere because Seattle will have a team soon). At the end of the day, this team does not work, and changes needs to happen up and down this roster, but I have faith that it will turn around.

Hah hah hah, funny. I was looking at Persona Anime and playing Persona 5R all day and did not pay attention to that crap show known as the Hawks. Besides the Phantom Thieves of Hearts could beat the Hawks right now. But I think it is time to blow it up and try again because this team is not going to work. Keep JJ, OO and maybe Trae (unless you get alot of good assets for him).

So he should hurt himself more? But it is one of those nights.

Trae is not even at 100% right now but you are you

Yeah you can tell that Trae is hurting right now with his shoulder, he needs couple of days to recover. @JeffS17 I think the reason why he playing like that because he is hurting and keep trying to complete.

and he probably would.

Trae would probably need a couple of days off, you can tell he is hurting.

I dont know why we want to deal with the Lakers, they dont have anybody on that team we need at this point. It feels like the media is pushing this more and more.

I know but too soon on the rebuild with JJ plan.

With what draft picks there, Terrell?

Let's see, crap day in Atlanta sports from Falcons getting blown out by the Taints and now losing the Magic in OT. Oh well, to the next game.

The Knicks would love to have a player like Murray, with him and Brunson I can see them doing damage against C's and Bucks but there is nobody on that team i would want but I wish we can send him to Brooklyn and they have better players and picks as well.

I can totally see NOP doing that as well or 76ers

I was thinking it could be a team that nobody would even think of (I was thinking OKC)
