A win woulda been nice but wouldn't have changed the lessons from this game. Just like the first game, couldn't get any stops. IDK what you can do when KD Kyrie and Harden are playing well, because one of them is gonna be going at Trae every possession.

I imagine that comes from the medical staff.

It's harder for Trae to take over late in games because he hasn't mastered the midrange yet. He's really reliant on that floater and just drawing fouls atm.

Well.. we know what we need to improve on lmao. This is probably the only team in the East that could match us when we are that hot on offense though.

Yeah, I think they will be less frequent now that he has better teammates though. Won't be forced to do too much, should have more space to operate etc.

Trae will get the turnovers down. 1. It's the preseason, time to try shit that you wouldn't try in games that count. 2. Gaining familiarity with teammates 3. It's the preseason

At this point, there is no one left for the megatrade to include

This 'Westbrook wants to come to Atlanta' noise started on a tweet from a fake account

well the 5 teamer is dead

I heard Sacramento is very disappointed in Marvin Bagley's work ethic/development and would rather move on at this point.

is this a blockbuster for the hawks or a blockbuster with the hawks facilitating to an extent.

what happened to 3 team deal

Guilty

Lamelo is too high usage/weak defensively to pair next to Trae I think. Haliburton is the cleaner fit even if his talent level is lower. Want to unlock Trae's catch and shoot goodness, but he's ultimately too weak defensively to return good value in a significantly lesser role.

The idea of having two elite passers who are also elite offball shooters in Trae/Haliburton is very interesting. Only holdup for me is Hali's self creation ability. Doesn't get to the line at all and not a pull up threat.

It's time to stop messing around with BG. Worst case, you can do a lot worse with your third point guard.

Hunter thinks he's better than he is on offense. Problem that plagues a lot of Hawks wings recently it seems.

I'm as big of a draft fan as anyone. I hate this class lol. The Hawks need to consider trading this pick, whether that means trading for an established player or just trying again next year. AE.. I wanted to like him cus he's a Georgia kid thru and thru, but he's been a lazy chucker all year outside of a few explosions in 1 half of games (nature of chucking.. eventually you'll get hot). I wish Wiseman would've gotten to play all year, he dominated who he played but didn't show an exciting skillset for a t5 big. The only two prospects I like are Tyrese Haliburton and Onyeka Okongwu. Neither are terribly exciting but I feel they have the highest chance of being useful players to us.

This sounds like an amazing deal for us as long as we don't end up with Wiggins or (to a lesser extent) Love

You said Gallo was 95% to Miami yesterday

Minnesota needs to stop being thirsty for DLo and just make the trade smh.

Capela better, cheaper, signed longer. No brainer.

He pretty famously predicted we'd take Trae and Huerter.

All those JJJ vs Bamba/Bagley arguments. JJJ by far the best of the 3.
