JSmooooove

In SUMMER LEAGUE!! Not even the regular season and Floyd is out there watching Trae.

I agree it is high risk. But with his elite ball handling passing and shooting skills I'm willing to take that chance.

Exactly. And that's what the Hawks need to do if they ever want to sniff a championship. The safe pick isn't going to get it done.

He can pass he can shoot and has sick handles. Give him the pace and space of the NBA I think he will surprise people. People act like he's garbage cause he got hyped to high heaven then once every team focused on containing him he became the biggest bust ever.

YES!!!! Love it

HAHAHA ok now that is funny. He wouldn't even be a top 5 big man let alone top 5 player.

Yeah I wasn't being 100% serious but being a fan of any Atlanta team definitely tests the patience of any fan. Doesn't help that I'm a GT fan, too. I guess I just love misery with the occasional glimpse of hope only to be brought back down to Earth every time.

"Serious doubts about this organization" When has this not been the case for Atlanta? LMAO welcome to being a Hawks fan.

There are no narratives about Bud, most of us are mad that he left. We all think he's a good coach. Only some have a narrative that he's one of the best of all time, which is ridiculous and not based on any facts.

Bud is one of the best of all time? Based on what exactly? We all thought Bud was a good coach but c'mon now. Why hasn't one of the best of all time been hired yet?

Sorry I couldn't resist. Back on topic, I think Larranaga should be the top choice. He has been coaching with the best young coach in basketball for the past few years, and he had to have learned a lot from his father who has also been a great coach for a long time. I like the potential there.

Can you confirm that? It seems people on this site have been saying according to an AJC article we are actually paying him (unless he gets another NBA job)?

We paid 14 million for Bud to go away but don't want to invest in a top 3 pick? LMAO

Yeah because a few years back when Bud was here all the star players were lining up to play in Atlanta!!
