[M]any of us are basketball lifers. I played, coached all sports my entire life. Up until recently I posted here and there. But to see others talk down to other people about their knowledge of ball is...inherently stupid. You can disagree with what player is this or that, but at the end of the day I'm not, you're not and no one else on this board has control over Hawk decisions. If it were MY decision, the construction of this team would look different. I'm admittedly a Hunter detractor..hater..whatever you call it. I see value in his being a big wing. Defense. Ok if that's your argument. But it's 5 years in and I'm hearing the same things about him. He doesn't do it for me. Sorry if that's not KNOWING basketball. He's not the issue though. I'll say that.

That man truly loved his teams. Some were atrocious but he never lacked for trying. Something this bumazz owner has done.... Is half heartedly try.

Lmao. People can not like Hunter and still see he has SOME value.

This has become a joke azz laughing stock of a team. I don't agree with a Damn thing they've done or are doing. If that DJM tweet is right, it's a bad look for all involved. The Pistons are the only team saving us from sheer ineptitude. Can't fire the owner. This feels as bad as the Atlanta Spirit Ownership group. Yet, they have a better winning percentage than the Ressler led group. Smdh

I don't either but if this front office is interested a bunch of crap for DJM, READ THIS NICK : You're the worse. You don't know construction of a good team. Yall don't wanna win. And lastly, you suck at NBA2K. We're watching Nick. You bet yo sweet azz we are.

Wait...Supes...Bey will fetch a first, but we're begging teams to give 2 bad firsts and an expiring contract for DJM? What bizarro world is this?

I'd rather we leave politics away from sports and religion. But here we are. That said..free speech is saying the Hawks and their FO can suck a mean bag of hot dogs. They stink.

We gonna be in every rumor known to man. Flip those rumors to reality and trade for 5 2nd rounders and a bowl of Gumbo. Screw this front office until they actually make a move worth a Damn. I said it. The sky is falling. I'm here for the smoke. The FO stinks until further notice...

Been a fan of this team since I took Polaroids with Tree, Dan and Charlie Chriss. We've had fun teams. Decent teams. Terrible teams. Just like the Falcons..for once I want a championship. Nothing has been done yet, but the confidence meter for this FO to execute a forward thinking success plan is utterly questionable at best. I'm also not convinced that the Summer will be any different than adding middling contributors and the usual contrived statements about wanting to win a 'Ship. I'll reserve judgement until the DJ trade, but this is again looking like inept management at its best.

The mismanagement of assets is truly astounding to me. DJM was sunk cost as soon as you traded for him. Even with depreciation, you mean to tell me the best we could do is essential another addition of a mediocre player and future first? Explain to me like I'm 10, why the summer will make other teams decide to make us a good deal and how this new assortment of assets will magically get you KAT or Zion per se. I don't see it.

Understood. Thanks for clarifying. I don't want the mods on us. Lol..

Peoria....you use "they," "individuals," and other descriptive words for the differences of opinions we see here. Is it against the rules to name said individuals? Are those individuals in the room right now?

I've been trying to figure out "they" for some time now. Your post is spot on.

You breaking nothing. Lol...no rose colored glasses here.

You haven't been looking. I understand. I'm not a Trae hater. I hate some of the things he does yes. You don't seem to comprehend my disdain is not reserved for Hunter. However, you think he's the difference maker and it's easy. Bey sucks as do most of our wings...so by natural selection...Hunter makes the team better. There. How does that sound?

Who is THEY? LMAO. I don't think Hunter is the one player we just can't be without. Lmao. This team is terrible. If the data says he impacts the team..that's rather irrefutable. OK..we win 3 more games. That's soothing? If I've blamed Hunter..I've blamed..Bey, Capela, OO, Trae. I am equal opportunity blamer.

You arguing with yourself or what? I didn't...perhaps someone else did...blame Hunter for us sucking. That's a separate argument. To better clarify....WITH..OR WITHOUT HIM, this team is middling. Terribly constructed. That's what I said. If you interpret that as me blaming Hunter...that's on you. Not me.

I'm admittedly anti Hunter. I acknowledge he is the best we have defensively on the wing. I don't subscribe to the theory that this team would be infinitely better with him. .500 would make us all feel better? Not me. I try not to attack our players...but this core has been flawed for 2 years. Maybe it's because he's a symptom...not THE problem.

And you can add some more to it smart guy. He's a middling player on a bad team. Your feels don't mean much.

I'm alone. I don't miss him. I do acknowledge he's the only capable wing defender we have. I'll give him that. What I don't like..Bey...Capela(fit..not him)...OO is slipping. Garrison..wtaf..., MIA AJ irritates me. Pay me no attention. I'm an angry ol man.

Addition by subtraction. Clint...Hunter..Bey. We hardly knew ye. Get gone.

Once I removed inappropriate material off my phone...the gifs were plenty. Lol. Thanks Jaybird

Perhaps the insiders can get into their sources ears and whisper to them to whisper to their people to whisper to Landry that these trades are complete azzhattery at its finest and he MUST, no SHALL do better. OR ELSE....

Are we ever prepared for what's going to happen?

Just ugh. Somebody on that nose candy...
