Jaylen Brown has fit issues too and would cost a 30% max plus more assets to get him than KAT. Wouldn't Murray need to be included in a JB trade? If you're trading Hunter in the deal who is your SF? You might have to give up JJ and AJ. How does Jaylen maximize Trae? People talk about KAT's defense, but Jaylen's has been bad too. Trae plays through his big men and KAT can get his own shot and pairs well with OO on the offensive side. KAT maximizes what Trae does. I'm actually more opposed to Jaylen Brown than Pascal or KAT. What injury history has KAT had other than last year? He missed time before due to Covid to my knowledge.

KAT is an absolute beast on offense. His fit with OO is perfect. I'm not saying KAT is a great defender, but pairing him with OO on offense and defense makes sense. That's why I support this. KAT's also a very good passer which is something we have not had at either C or PF with Trae. It gives us so much offensive versatility. I think Trae, Murray, Hunter, OO, and KAT will be fantastic offensively and the team defense will only need to be average to make a run.

Yeah, said Timberwolves may not want to pay his salary so he could be moved this summer or STTE. Wasn't super detailed like they were in talks with the Hawks, but it was mentioned.

I'm not pumping anything. Just go look at @JayBirdHawk post and you'll see it's been reported. Just want you to stop saying no one is talking about it when they have spoken about it. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

There have been reports that KAT could be on the move by Mark Spears or Stein.

I'm starting to fall in line with your line of thinking. I normally don't get my hopes up, but when it was said the trade was imminent, I thought it would go through. Now, I'm back to just not really caring what they do this off season and hope for internal development.

Well if they don't finalize the trade with Oklahoma, it makes it easier to match up salaries for Kat or any other max player by moving Patty and Bey, but who knows at this point.

When was the last time they were a top seed? Mr Goal post mover? He also had Jimmy Butler, James Harden and Ben Simmons (when he was good) as teammates. Who the Hawks roster equates to those three?

Your True MVP in Joel Embiid hasn't gotten further than Trae in the playoffs.

Both probably. Saved money and got a good vet.

It is summer league no drastic conclusions should be drawn either way.

Not true, they just have to send out Capela and other small contracts or one of Hunter or Bogi. Easier said than done though.

Damn auto correct..lmao

My bad. @AHF @lethalweapon3 @macdaddy please move My discussion with peo to the Tara Hunter thread.

I acknowledge you did criticize Huerter consistently about his defense. This is what I don't understand, not all opinions should be respected. All facts should but not opinions...lol

Oh so we are now using Hunter six game rebound streak to support he is a good rebounder, but use 5 games against Miami to prove Trae is terrible. It is funny how you are on and all out war against Trae, but he is younger than Hunter and you criticized others for thinking Hunter won't improve. Yet, here you are saying Trae, who is younger than Hunter, won't improve on his flaws. Explain that logic.

I'm not choosing. AJ is more likely to reach his highest outcome while JJ ceiling his higher. It is a really tough choice.

Criticize Hunter.

Make one about Hunter. Again any player the Hawks trade for or bring in free agency you are extra critical of. You just proved that with this post..lol However, every drafted player, but Trae gets a pass from you. Thats fine. Just admit you dont like Trae for some odd reason and think we will be better off without him.

Criticize Hunter for not rebounding and I will. You know Hunter's rebounding needs to improve but because you've criticized some for wanting to trade him now you refuse to say anything negative about him. Say something negative about Hunters game in the next post. I guarantee you will not. Trae has to play better and had down season last year. I can acknowledge he played terrible by his standards, but understand Trae being on the team and playing his best is our best chance at winning a championship.

Oh so the contracts is why you won't acknowledge that Trae is good, but Hunter can go out and have 1 rebound in thirty minutes and we all know you are all about the rebounds cause you preached to us ad nauseum about that for years when the young Hawks struggled with rebounding, but I don't see any post about Hunter and his terrible rebounding from you. Hunter rebounds less than Trae, that's a freaking problem. Ultimately, here's my point. Stop agendaing and criticize all these mfers for that sorry ass season that they had last season. It's okay to criticize everyone on the team, but when you call out the best player constantly and never want to acknowledge when the role players are playing like ass, that's a problem. You only criticize the players the Hawks trade for or bring in free agency, but Trae is the only Hawks player drafted (who gets significant playing time) you criticize constantly, but refuse to recognize anyone else's flaws. It's also okay to acknowledge when someone is good. Trae's contract is not hampering the Hawks. They are doing a pretty good job of fielding a team right now. What other excuse will you come up with not to criticize De'Andre Hunter?

Then criticize them other mfers too. Like you literally get beside yourself when people criticize or want to trade Hunter, but you can't for the life of you understand why someone would want to trade Hunter instead of Trae. Explain that to me.

I hate when you argue to prove some obscure point you are trying to make. Like you refuse to acknowledge when anyone else makes a valid counter point. It's okay for you not to believe Trae is a superstar and it's fine for some to think that he is, but the way you attack Trae because, by your words, he is the best player on the team, but overlook the flaws a freaking Hunter and his non-rebounding ass is crazy to me. I like Hunter but your unwillingness to criticize any player drafted by the Hawks but Trae is maddening.

Hope it goes well and you have a swift recovery.
