TBF, no one is stopping a Trae x insert_anyone PNR already - we are consistently one of the top offenses in the league even with the personnel we have. Siakam would diversify our offense a lot more than Kat, and JB would help out on both sides of the court in a great way. Maybe I'm underrating KAT, but I'd rather have Siakam or JB easily seeing how they're both better defensively and help our offense in more ways than I think KAT could regardless of his historic shooting numbers at his position

Idk what Windy thinks, but there's been a lot of smoke with CC to Dallas, maybe things are getting smokier and we'll get the trade finished soon

Thanks Cap! Site looks awesome

Ahh, was just responding to the last stats I saw to provide some context for why our guard's EFG was lower than expected @Peoriabird, if we get rid of CC and add more shooting and playmaking from our front court I think everyone's efficiency is bound to go up. Tough to judge when our players had Nate not putting them in the best position to succeed

Just gotta laugh it off Cagey, ppl gonna be how they are lol It's nice though seeing a timeline of people's opinions change over time, imagine how fun it'll be when Supes says Trae is the Hawks goat in 15 years after he brings us a couple of chips (no shots Supes, just jokin around :))

Yall seen this ? Hawks had literally the worst spacing in the league for our guards to operate with - tough to be efficient when you have to take hard shots cause your teammates aren't applying pressure when they have the ball

I like hot take posts cause they can introduce you to new ideas you never would've thought of, but not acknowledging a hot take and pretending it's legitimate discussion can be annoying depending on hot the take is - saw Trae ranked 55th on some randos top 100 list and that's so stupid it's not even worth talking about right. But I'll say Trae winning a couple of chips in Atlanta will put him firmly in the top 3 all time pg list behind Magic and Curry, at minimum he'll end his career a top 10 pg in the HoF ahead of guys like Steve Nash and Stockton. Also, idk if this is a hot take, but with Quin at the helm I think we win at least 50 games with a good chance to hit 55. We lost a lot of dumb coin flip games last year, so lets pretend we win those cause we'll be more locked in, Trae has more dad powers, and Jalen wins MIP. Going to vegas and putting money on our win over no matter what it is,

Haven't read your Horford posts enough, what proves this? Trae has lead a worse team to the ECF and managed to not get swept while putting up historical performances - Al hasn't Al also has a worse playoff win % than Trae, so not sure how he's the most winningest in any meaningful sense How has this lead to us winning and getting deep into the playoffs? Also, how would you even judge this, versatile is too vague. A jack of all trades who isn't peak at any of them doesn't take you as far as an offensive savant, even if you're more balanced on both ends of the floor Dikembe exists Ok, and how has this led to him amassing results for himself or his time with the Hawks? Trae is a whole offense unto himself, is a superior quality than being able to have actions run for you in my opinion Sounds like Al is above average at a lot of things, not elite at anything compared to people in the top 50- top 75. It's great when you're able to make your teammates life easier, but outside of this emotional argument you have about how you have to be smart to understand Al's impact and that only smart people can see his value is asinine. There is 0 time in NBA history where a top 10 NBA handn't established themselves as such through their dominance on the court either in the regular season or the playoffs, real life ain't a tv show where someone can just affect winning so hard but no one notices cause of plot armor. idk man, I been writing and deleting things but this is wild. I've seen how you respond to al posts enough so imma chill, but it's honestly pretty cool how you have an opinion totally unique to yourself

Can't wait for Apple to buy Disney so maybe we can watch HD hawks games without the bs

Not the OG droppindimes, but this one has also called some things correctly If Kobe's the holdup, I feel like we're getting Siakam cause there's no way Landry let's an all NBA player slip out of his hands for an unproven rookie.

Jalen MIP szn incoming

Changing shot selection sounds like something

Can't compare how a superstar plays vs a role player. Trae makes plays and sets things up using his IQ and shot selection, the rest of the team needs to take advantage by using their skills on offense like shooting/cutting/rolling whatever. Saddiq most definitely is being told where to run and take shots by the coach so that Trae can set him up for easier shots than he was getting in Detroit. Also, pretty reductive to say coaches just encourage players to run certain plays - we saw almost immediately Quin put an emphasis on shooting more 3's and so our # of 3's per game went up by a lot. That wasn't players deciding they wanted to start shooting more 3's out of nowhere

These players aren't on the court doing whatever they want, they listen to the coaches gameplan on how to play. Saddiq isn't taking more corner threes out of nowhere, it's a shot our team wants to take, so Quin puts the team in positions to take higher quality shots. Saddiq didn't just wake up and decide he would start shooting more corner threes lol

Sinister is super good, one of my fav horror movies. Also, hereditary is wild. Watch both in the total dark with your sound up

I also hope you are dead wrong #BelievingInLandryAndKyleAndQuinToBringUsToTheMotherland (Yes I Might Be Dejounte) (fr though, how does he capitalize the first letter of each word, was tiring x.x)

It's aight, you'll be happy when JJ and Siakam are on the floor playmaking together They can have Vit if they really want a good young prospect I guess

Nah, Raps have 0 leverage here. We have no reason to give up a valuable asset for 1 year of Siakam. They're gonna take Hunter and 2 protected FRPs and be happy with it

Have to miss the game cause of work, is Mo playing aight?

Always fun seeing boomer facebook opinons make it onto the hawks insider message board. This source has missed on a ton of stuff, don't know how much you can trust.

Dejounte's a great guy, he's so good anytime he's in front of a mic. And he's so good naturally because he lives what he says, not just talk.

Kobe gets to the rim well, he's just sloppy - he's gonna be good after some coaching, has good tools and feelings for the game

Missed the first half, what's Kobe doin? Summer league ball aint friendly to big men, Mo gonna shine in the nba

I really musta missed when Bruna became decent, he can actually be the backup big off the bench?
