Psychiatric medication can help. If you are having ongoing mental health issues that are causing you to miss work, it's something to seriously consider, under the care of a doctor of course. I don't see what's so controversial about my statement.

I think he was poopooing your over-the-internet psychiatric advice to someone you've never even met.

It is the league that pays the benefits not the team who employs him during the 10th year of service.  He just needs to pay him for a day if the FAQ is right.

This is what I was referring to.

You think Messy Ressi is gonna open up his pocket book for somebody other than himself or Lil Nicky? You're gonna be disappointed.

Atlanta Hawks – In addition to discussing Dejounte Murray and Clint Capela in trade talks leading up to the deadline, the Hawks have also made Saddiq Bey available, sources said. The 24-year-old forward is in the final year of his rookie deal at $4.5 million, making him a possible major addition to a playoff-contending team before he hits free agency. The Hawks acquired Bey for multiple second-round picks at the deadline last year. Possibly flipping him for a first-round pick or better would be a major win for the Hawks' front office.

De'Andre Hunter is another interesting name who could be traded in a cost-saving move for Atlanta to acquire future assets. A two-way presence on the wing, Hunter is in the first year of his four-year, $90 million contract. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, and Memphis Grizzlies have a need for an athletic, versatile wing like Hunter. While not expected to make a big change to their roster given their injury situation, the Grizzlies have shown interest in the Hawks forward in the past, sources said.

If we flip Bey for a first rounder, I take back everything bad I said about Lil Landry.

First I want to give credit to Demond over at We talk Hawks TV...   I noticed that the HS hadn't touched this subject and it needs touching.

What we see from Quin is par for the course.  He had clashes with his FO in Utah before Ainge..  What's important to understand is the pattern.  Here are some of the reasons for those clashes...

 

We frowned upon Nate... Talked about how Nate didn't play young players.   This is the M.O. of Quin Snyder.   He doesn't play young players.  Notice that second quote, his reasoning for not playing young players is that he believe that those players were not rotation calibre.   Somebody said, well Diesel that was Then...   Explain to me why AJ hasn't gotten any valuable minutes of play?  Or how about Bufkin?  Bufkin was called up from the G-League for the Cleveland game.  Trae has Concussion protocol, will miss a few games.. . and guess what happens to Bufkin?  Sent back to the G-League. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that Bufkin's G-League performance will translate on the pro floor.  I mean, his percentages are not stellar.  But I would much seen Bufkin on the road trip and us trying him out than to watch us play Trent Forrest and Patty Mills for 48 minutes.   We couldn't find 12 minutes for Bukfin?  We can't find 12 minutes for AJ?

People say that his offense is complicated and it takes a long time to get... I get that.. but I will say.. He was fortunate in Utah.  In Utah, he had Gobert and Mitchell.  That is a gift from the basketball gods.  A continuous defensive of the year candidate and a grade A scorer.   The signs are there.  Even reading what some Utah fans say...  They talk about the bad habit that Quin had of letting Mitchell be the offense in the 2nd half of games.  i.e., he can do what he wanted to do.   It leads to him having teams lose big leads.  We've already mentioned about his inability to make adjustments.  

I just think before we blow this whole team up and get all the draft picks in search of Quin's team... we need to ask ourselves.. Should we do all this for Quin?  IS he even capable of winning?

 

We played .50 ball last year, our roster got worse, and now we're playing <50 ball. I wish Quin could make a miracle happen with this sorry roster but it didn't happen.

What are they 6 games below .500.  3-8 without him?  Yeah you are right...Not difference if you are a hater but us people who passed math do notice

Soooo, we're losing games because of Hunter (specifically his lack of availability)? I guess we agree on that point.

Love it!  Double and triple down on your erroneous past judgments even when it is obvious that the problems of this team lies elsewhere.  This is the thing that frustrates @NBASupes and myself.

I don't understand what point you're making? Is Hunter contributing to this team winning or not?

The definitive answer is no because he's sitting on the bench in street clothes, just like usual. Why are you bragging that we suck without our oft-injured starting wing?

?????Didn’t watch game 42 last night. Who gets it? @macdaddy @SalvorMallow @JayBirdHawk

I didn't watch the game unfortunately but the box score looks weird.

5 assists and 0 fts for Trae.

0/12 for Bey.

0fgs and a paltry 6 rebounds for OO(he got son'd by their size?) 

Still no minutes for the young guys. 

Awful showing for us

Know how teams showcase dudes they wanna trade?  Well, we need to send Bey to the gleague or just hide him til the deadline.  My guy is playing like trash-poop.

Not sure which is worse, his shooting(sic) or his drives which literally end in a travel every time.  It's just up to the ref to call it or see a 'gather' step amidst all his shuffling without dribbles. 

Don't forget the steps out of bounds. Or his adhd defense. 

This has to be one of the worst fall offs I've seen from a player in a hot minute. He's completely unplayable.

Well i was skimming. theres like 100s of comments its tough to go through all and everybody types a different way. Ignore my comment supes you are correct! AHF post i read and I understand what he saying but he also is shaping it as if its a worst case scenario. He started off with mentioning if we do something trae will ask out (and so what if he does). Let him ask out and then they can really do what Quin wants which is a tear down.

Im sorry but this is BS. There's no way Quin signed with the Hawks to coach through a rebuild.

When I said a couple months ago, we are by far in the worst situation in the NBA in maybe in the last 30 years, I meant that shit. The only thing we got going for us is Coach Quin and win with a less if it fits and has high BBIQ. 

Brooklyn situation wasn't even as bad as ours due to the fact that they are in Brooklyn. Many players love NY. We are a small market in terms of NBA. We had no business basically restocking the Spurs dynasty. 

Move this f***ing franchise to Vegas and give us the Timberwolves or give us the Thunder or the Grizzlies. 

The hyperbole is thicccc in this post.

The lost to the Wizards is the low point of the season . I sense friction. Please Hawks don’t embarrass yourself on TNT in front of the whole country. I was planning on being at the game,but canceled my plans after that terrible performance Saturday night.

Hmmm...do we count that game as an embarrassment or not? Tough to say.

16 minutes ago, JayBirdHawk said:

At least we didn't give him Hunter money.  

I could live with his putrid defense if his 3pt shooting was on point, but his 3pt shooting just keeps going downhill since mid-November.  Currently 33%

 

28.6 3P% over his last 20 games.

He is currently the 7th worst 3P% of all players (85 total) who've played 20+ games and take >5 3PA.

If he's not hitting shots, he's basically unplayable.

@Diesel...is it time for the referendum on Siddig Bey yet?

absolutely

3 minutes ago, Vol4ever said:

He fell apart in the second half, having the ball stolen from him.  You can go off in the first half and get 10 pts in the second half and be the star player.  

You can when the other team's adjustments are ALWAYS:

• Sag off the 3 point shooters[sic] and pack the paint
• Trap and double Trae from half court
• Chuckle as the rest of the scrub team is unable to create any offense

Red hot . . . ice cold = lukewarm

Made the right plays down the stretch.  I think he had 4 dimes in the 4th quarter.

 

Whatever, look at his full-game production. Nobody else was producing this game besides JJ. How many wide open 3s did he create that Bogi and Bey bricked? Have you noticed defenses are starting to sag off Bey?

Yay! We held on.

Trae 50%FG and only 3 turnovers

Thank God for his awesome 1st half.....

 

 

My man went an efficient 36-6-12-1-1. GET HIM SOME HELP!!!!

He had:

• The same number of rebounds as OO
• More assists than the rest of the team
• Almost 2x the points of our bench
• More stocks than the entire bench

Murray has 0 assists in 32 mins despite Trae getting trapped and doubled.
