You just can't stop with adding DJM though.

You add Murray, then add better fitting pieces.

WE still haven't used part of Collins 23 million TPE yet.

I get it.  Ressler doesn't want to go into the tax, just to put a mediocre team on the floor.  But you still have to look to always add talent.  Even role playing talent.

 

Murray, for all intents and purposes, has done his job as a compliment to Trae.  21 - 5 - 5 . . . career highs in 3 point shooting ( or close to it ).  But the team as a whole can't defend and can't rebound.  That's not all on Murray.

WRONG

You don't add Murray period because like I said before...Murray is NOT A SHOOTING GUARD!!

The thing is, the spurs version of DJM is exactly what this team needed. A tall guard who was a great defender and could put up 20 points per night. His attention to detail on defense could help mask some of Trae’s deficiencies. However since coming to Atlanta, Murray’s defence has gone to shit. He seems more preoccupied for just padding his offensive stats. For that reason Murray needs to go.

Here's the problem...DJ was a Point Guard for the Spurs and the Hawks have him as a Shooting Guard. DJ is not a SG, and he's been proving that the he isn't an SG. The Hawks took a gamble thinking he could and they ended up with egg on their faces.

I think DJ could work here if he was THE PG but not as a SG. No way jose

The Hawks really thought this was about to be Zeke & Dumars 2.0 LMAOOO

Quinn is mos def flawed but are y'all seriously talking about getting a 4th coach in 6 years?!?! That is pretty much unprecedented

That is terrible and there is one constant variable in this. You know what it is

I hope so..

Schlenk blew it..Said it way back when.. All of that draft capital we had for this shit.. 

Like I said, Schlenk is only partially to blame

Yea I can't blame Schlenk for all of this

The Front Office shouldn't have listened to Trae when he said he wanted DJM on the team. They shoulda told him to shut his ass up. No High Quality Front Office woulda listened to his ass but the damn Hawks smh

Are people finally about to wake up and smell the coffee??

And no, going to a FOURTH coach is not the answer to the very GLARING PROBLEM with this team

Trae is literally a liability on the court

2-12 fgs

4 TOs

JJ with the stat stuffing night!!

25 pts

16 rebs

7 ast

2 blk

1 stl

Best All Around player on the Hawks!!!

You crazy if u say any different

JALEN IS THE FUTURE OF THE HAWKS!!!!!

Jalen you are the future!!!

Man let JJ get a shot!!!

I don't care what the Hawks record is...Jalen needs to be the most improved player

Thank Gawd for JJ

The lone bright spot for this team

Add Maxey to the list of players that have cooked this team

But but but the Hawks have a SUPERSTAR!!!

How do you build a contender around a 6'1 PG who can't play off the ball?

 

A. With an elite coach

B. With size

C. With shooting

D. You can't, dummy!

D!!!!

And I keep asking when in NBA histpry has a team won with a Trae like pg being their #1 and NOBODY can answer that lol

Just now, NBASupes said:

Man, I told these boys they need four all stars around Trae to really have a contender or him being around an ATG and being carried to be a contender. Trae is Coke Zero.

The only way I'd be comfortable with keeping Trae on the team is if he accepted that he's a Robin AT BEST and is in no way, shape, or form a BATMAN for a team

Somehow get a TRUE #1 and get this thing cracking. But you will never win a title with a player like Trae as your Batman (#1) I promise your that. It's never happened in NBA history and will never happen.

They will always blame someone. I've been telling them, they bet on the wrong horse and that's ultimately where the problem lies. 

Murray is not the problem. He makes 18 mil this year and 36 next year. He's basically at his level but Trae sells tickets and Murray doesn't so he's the opp to our FO who wants to keep Trae at all cost when he don't even really want to be here anymore. 

Trae's fans are just as much a part of the problem because they are delusional as Tony

I saw someone on Reddit say Trae Westbrook is better than Haliburton, Haliburton just has better teammates!!!

THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT

Because our "superstar" might be the least impactful one in the NBA..

There goes that word again  LOL

This is the 1st game I've watched in a loooong time

wtf is wrong with this team?!?!?

The Luka trade is really the only truly awful one. Haliburton didn't want to come here. I don't know how many times I gotta say that. Luka did want to come here and we would be a contender with the same exact squad right now with Luka. We bet on the wrong horse. You watch teams like MIN and they got two players in Gobert and Ant better than our best player. You realize, we are basically like Brooklyn except more teams would rather have Mikal than Trae. We f***ed up that draft where it had a ton of franchise players. 

If I see one more person refer to Trae a Superstar I'm gonna lose my mind

He is in NO WAY a superstar. Unless your definition of a superstar is VERY loose. Superstars are ALWAYS shoe-ins for all star games. Trae will most likely miss the all star game again unless there's an injury

The Hawks really shoulda told Haliburton that they would trade Trae so that he could be the STAR PG of the team. Sooo many mistakes by this organization smh

Just now, NBASupes said:

Murray just too small at the 2 and he's not Uber athletic to make up for it. 

If DJ is gonna remain at 2 then he needs to get on a muscle building diet and gain weight. He just to damn slim for me

They got so lucky

This team needs major work!!!

Hawks gave up 131 pts in regulation

*facepalm*
