    What I mean is that he is average 28/11 but he has a very high Usage Rate and he has to work hard on defense as well. It can wear him out, so I think we have to maxing out the team potential while reducing his usage rate.

    I think that Haliburton's camp called us and told them to not pick him at that position because Trae was here and whatnot. Plus he wanted to be the starting PG. But I have to agreed that the ECF finals run was fool's gold and we decided to double down on it not trying to improve from it. From finding another player that can bring the ball up to finding another scorer that can take pressure off from Trae (it is insane that his Usage% is so high), and other stuff. It goes back to the question that I always ask, "How can construct a team around Trae, that is going to max out his potential, while be able to complete in this modern NBA." Until this team figure out that puzzle, this team is going to continue spinning their wheels in the mud and it sucks.

    and do you know why he has all of those turnovers because he has to deal with guys with stupid long wingspans and it is hard to position the ball correctly to pass it to the right person. That is the reason why the first thing you learn in basketball school is always keep your arms up.

    I am just enjoying this

    @everybody It is going to be like that sometimes and we can just look forward to the next game. Pacers is a good team and it is just a off night tonight

    Soth, I am sorry, but I dont think we are going to do a "Nique for Manning" trade for this. Right now, we are about to go against some very heavy hitters and we could be 10 games under .500 and I dont want to trade for somebody that is going to leave and we get nothing to show for it.
  7. NekiEcko
    Yeah, it is time to move on from them and go talk to NOP or any other team that is not the Raptors.
  8. NekiEcko
    That is right, you have pay to play. But I think this month is going to be the most important month for the Hawks, not only for this season but maybe the next couple of years. As of right now, this team is 13 - 19 (2 games behind Chicago) but we got to face OKC, Pacers (x2), 76ers and Magic in the next five games. In fact, only the Spurs, Wiz, Warriors (but they will be over .500 soon) and Raptors is the only sub .500 teams this team will play this month but everybody else......If we need to do something, it needs to be soon very soon, or we will be up the creek with no paddle.

    You got to pay to play sometimes I know that we hate the C's and Lakers but they are willing to take risk to ensure that they are going to be in that conversation for the Championship. Like how the C's was willing to trade Brogdan and Smart to get Porziņģis but they are still leading in the East or when Bucks traded for Dame as well. If we want to be in that tier of teams, we have to take risks as well. We cant just be looking at the bottom line on financial sheet.

    Shakes giving out insider information? Wow, this board has been going bananas since yesterday. But one thing tho, I understand that Trae wants to help this team, but he might want to keep his suggestions to himself and let FO do their own thing or he might be the next person that is traded (even know that I want him to stay).
  11. NekiEcko
    Yeah, I am onboard with that. Right now, I think this game should open up the eyes of FO and understand that this team is not playoff-ready or play-in ready. Tonight show me alot about this team and the problems with it from Murrary to Bey to Bogi and everybody in-between. I know that we dont want Trae to play hero ball but when everybody else is sucking at shoot, you have to do something.
  12. NekiEcko
    To be honest, seeing all of this is making me laugh I know that this team is having problems like every other team but saying stuff like "trading Trae" (even know that he was off) or saying that Dre would have made a difference (imo, Trae would have more reboards than him) is crazy and I have to laugh. But in seriously, change needs to happen and the Hawks is on the clock because the way they are playing, they will be working on draft position than getting to the playoffs.
  13. NekiEcko
    We will be trading Dre to another team if Herb Jones and Trey Murphy comes here (btw I like that trade because you will have good contacts coming here and draft pick that we can use to get another player or use it in a another trade) At the end of the day, this team has to do something and sitting on their hands is not one of them.
  14. NekiEcko
    I know that Trae wants this team to succeed but he can't play as the pseudo-GM, I mean he already did that and that is reason why we are in this mess right now.
  15. NekiEcko
    It is kinda fun reading all of these post about thinking about trade Trae, I mean we want to trade 30/10 player that brings people to the games (in a city that the Hawks is three or four in Atlanta Sports Food chain in Atlanta with Braves, Falcons, UGA is ahead) and even know that he might be small and maybe defensive challenge, we still talking about moving him because he does not fit the system. Even know that Quinn only been here for only one year and still working on put his offense into action. This team has a lot of issues, but Trae is not one of them and we want to trade that. Only in Atlanta, Only in Atlanta Right now, there has to be unify vision and patience as well.

    Merry Christmas to everyone This Christmas sucks so much because it was the first one that mom is not here on earth. I was crying all morning.
  17. NekiEcko
    @JayBirdHawk The thing is we dont know who push the trade. Was it Trae? FO? Little Nicky? Ressler? This team need another ball handler that can help push the offense since teams was zero in on Trae all of the time and at that time, DJ was that and he was very good defender as well. For me, soft rebuild would be my answer because this team needs to change because we don't have the right pieces around Trae and too small to deal with any team right now.
  18. NekiEcko
    You dont want to say that.
  19. NekiEcko
    It is always be like that. Frankly I dont really care anymore, i think my mom's passing is affecting me more than I think. On to the next one

    Happy belated Thanksgiving to everybody. I wish it was happy for me but it has been a very sad time over here since my mother was called home almost two weeks ago and I am still shocked and sad about it.
  21. NekiEcko
    However, the thing is that the fanbase was very patience doing those down years. Just imagine if we had that here, we will be screaming for the GM to leave and the owners to sell the team. Even know that I hate the Thunder (not because of the players), they have a very bright future and everybody draft picks. About Trae, I was thinking about it and even know that he wants to be the man and whatnot, I think it is time for him to have a shot-count like how baseball has a pitch count. I will say about 11 - 15 shots per game and with 3 - 5 3 pointers (only 1 for 30+ ft bombs) and the rest of the game, just being a playmaker.
  22. NekiEcko
    He will get better and we still in striking distance.
