Odd seeing as how he's already mentioned alongside HoF players every time he breaks a new record or continues to play at a higher level than all the guys you've listed. What year is Traes career supposed to fizzle out? Edited February 17, 2023 by akay 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae is only mentioned alongside HOF players because he plays in the stat stuffing twitter era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDawg#8 Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I believe #2 is SGA actually which makes sense with the dialogue and plotline. Being a star on a rebuilding team, deciding whether to stay loyal or join up with a super team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonedDogs Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 @akay Yeah Trae is mentioned alongside HoFers but so is Ben Simmons. His first 4 years he's avg a double double in rebs and assists. Next to Magic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a healthy and mentally there Ben Simmons IS a HoF level impact player, but stuff happens and your career can be thrown off trajectory. Nothing has happened with Trae yet that would let me think he's boutta fall off / has peaked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's already better than all of them, and is in conversations with Isiah Thomas and Steve Nash, why would he out of nowhere drop to Brandon Jennings level?

While I will say, Trae is on that Marbury brink of respect where people will look at him as a stat and not a star, I will say that Trae at least a healthy player and is very driven to be the best he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't make sense I don't believe he's in the same conversation with Nash and Zeke. Maybe Nash and Curry at the same stage but Nash didn't emerge till he got older and Curry didn't emerge till year 6 as legit superstars. Trae has had a terrific start but so did Marbury. While someone like AHF will shun Iverson, Iverson is seen in a 10x better light than Trae and if you ran a poll, 99% of fans who seen both will choose Iverson as neutral observers. I would chose AI too. He's not spammy. Some of the atg are spammy like Stockton and Malone, especially Malone. But most people don't like spammy guys or guys who they consider non winning stat padders. He's trending closer to IT0 and I am not sure he can be as good as peak IT0. It's possible but that's on Atlanta to put the perfect players around him. Edited February 19, 2023 by NBASupes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get the harsh criticism game by game.. but he's almost 27/11. I'm more concerned that he has the label coach killer attached to his name.
