And by a guy who talks trash like Trae, while looking like Trae. And the nutmegs, and the foul baiting that embarrasses them. Those are exactly the reasons.

Let's see how his growth is further stunted without Trae there to create John's offense for him...

A team needs to go at least 9 or 10 players deep for a playoff run. Just because a guy might never be a starter doesn't make it a waste pick. And we had Trae and DJM last year, but that didn't stop our biggest need from being another player who could handle the ball and playmake for others. There is a reason that type of player is who the Hawks targeted in the draft. Not sure attempting to address your biggest hole on the roster should be considered a wasted pick, especially outside the lottery.

Yes, the answer is blatantly obvious. I wasn't really torn on who to believe, that was sarcasm. I apologize if that was opaque. While I truly value you bringing inside stuff to the board [and y]our scoops and info dumps are great, [but] the player evals, lets just say we don't agree very often.

It's interesting, if you look at Hawks related media Twitter it's full of people that love Bufkin and continually have thrown him flowers the entire summer league. Talking about things like how advanced he is for his age and how many things he already does at a high level, while acknowledging he still has to adjust to the NBA game. But then you come here and are mostly told (and i emphasize mostly, not all) that he's a bum that is years away from being a major contributor. I'm really torn on who to believe.

NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!

That can't be sturt. No book length posts with circular arguments debating something nobody said in the first place.

Me neither.

Cool story

People making a big deal over summer league performances. Never change Hawksquawk

The Debbie Downers in this thread the last few days are an object lesson in why the insiders are often reluctant to share what they have heard. Some of you folks should be ashamed of your rude behavior. I, for one, appreciate everything you fellas bring to the board that you've heard about, whether it comes to fruition or gets swept away in the wash of doing business. Please don't stop on account of some unappreciative tools.

"Look at me. I'm the captain now."

JC trade official

In before someone claims this means Trae is on the trade block. You know it's coming...

My vote would probably be someone that rhymes with D!ck Rustler.

If we get stuck with Goberrated I might just have to kill someone.
