WELCOME HOME TRAE!!!

[GABALLA]

Yo where is the chat located??

[DBac]

Welcome. Hopefully he is as dynamic as he can be. Gonna take a while for this not to sting.

True to Atlanta......

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

If he ends up anything like the Curry comparisons, then bring him on. I’d rather had Doncic, but Trae is a Hawk now. At least this means the end of Schröder in Atlanta which makes me happy!

[Atlantaholic]

Was hoping we would get Doncic after everything seemed to fall into place for us to do so. Nothing to do now but to hope Trae Young works out and our pick next year proves valueable.

This smells like the Paul Gasol trade all over again. Hope that it turns out very differently.

how. Luka would never in a million years be an NBA Superstar. He probably won't even be a legit starter down the line.  Trae can be really good or really bad. I'd take that chance over wasting a top 5 pick on solid at best

Watching his highlight reel that was shown immediately after the pick does make one question just that.  Even Ayton who I utterly wanted the most has a quite low chance of being an All Star according to analysts.

Only question now is . . . what kind of guy is Trae in the late night hours?

- A Magic City guy

- A Cheetah guy

- or a Follies guy?

[Watchman]

Great.  Lou Williams II...except, he's not as good as Lou.

EPIC FAIL ... he can’t defend a paper bag and is sloppy with the ball .... we just lost a superior player for a guy who would have fell to 10

no we didn't

Awesome move - give Trae the keys to the Chevy SUV that the Hawks have become and trade the Shruu for a lightly used sofa bed.  

If you are gonne rebuild - rebuild....let's see who is there at 19

You're right.  It would probably have been 12.

Beats a <40% volume shooter who is extremely turnover prone and doesn't play a lick of defense.  All that tanking for nothing.  Way to go Slinky.  Not.

He'll have a better pro career than Doncic. I'm 100000% sure of that

Good point Gaballa....I haven't been on the site much lately but there used to be a chat option - maybe Dolfan didn't pay the rent

Doncic isn't great at anything and is as athletic as my late grandmother. He's closer to a Yi Jianlian type career than Ben Simmons

Young isn't great at anything at all except chucking up shots, turnovers and matador defense.

I do wonder... Why did the teams, Phoenix and  Sacramento.. that knew him most pass on him thou?

You can’t reason with his supporters. Some were comparing him to a mix between Bird/Magic. Some were calling him a generational superstar. When realistically, he may make a few All Star games and be a really good player. Trae Young has MVP potential in the NBA.

Thats the real question of the night!
