Great dude. Loves Atlanta.  Loves his teammates.  Elite PG.  

I'll never understand the rationale to willingly trade him away from some of our fans.  Or those that constantly criticize and focus on his flaws.  Just mind boggling.  

Should have won the skills if his teammates had been better.  Barely losing to Dame in the 3 is nothing to hang your head about.

He's an ELITE player.  It's just a shame that [some people] spend so much time trying to convince everyone that he's not.

I truthfully don’t even care anymore what people say against him. He’s proven that he is a consistently productive player. He has the stigma against him regarding winning or being selfish, cool, no other way to shut it down than to win. Been the same story his whole career.

If we win, he wins, and the “we” is all I care about at the end of the day.

Absolutely absurd that he has the chance to do this at 25 years old!

I'm gonna come to my guy's defense.  Which one of yall hurt @benhillboy?

He woke up this mornin' and chose violence. 

No one hurt him.

The Traetors have just been in hibernation until his return.

I hope we play his beloved Miami Heat for that 8th spot.  Trae and DJ will make them cry again.

Trae voted 3rd most overrated player in the NBA.

I wonder if these things are pushed to bring down potential value...

As others pointed out, he got 6 votes out of the 572 players who logged minutes in the NBA this season.  It doesn't seem particularly meaningful.

And, per my unscientific study, 4.5 of those 6 dudes got nutmegged and subsequently crowned by their Insta-girlfriend.

Zero confidence in FO. 

I'm watching these playoffs and just shaking my head. The East was WIDE open 2-8. Just put together a competent roster with depth and they're in the playoffs. . It ain't that hard man.

Wasted opportunity. And zero confidence we get it right next season.

They tried to get Siakam at least.  If we kept Collins and signed an MLE player we'd have like a $200M payroll.  

We used high draft picks on guys like Hunter, Okongwu, and Cam.  Traded future draft picks for Murray.  Spent heavy on Collins, Hunter, and Capela. 

Everyone went nuts over not using the MLE because that was the ONLY option we had to get better.  Every other card was played.  It would need to have been a killer MLE signing to justify being the ninth luxury tax team in the league.  

Our current FO is not that great AND they are trying to patch a ship that is sinking.
