For you, yes. But for most here, once the Hawk uniform is donned, they can do no wrong. It's weird how that is, I guess it's the psychology of tribalism. You can go to a Cavs or Hornets message board and it's the same way.

If Hawks had drafted RJ somehow I suspect their opinion of him would be slightly different.

Exactly

The homerism is real lol.

 

Not me ...can’t speak for others but I personally was big on Jarrett Culver that draft and really wanted him here in Atlanta. 
you can look up my old post I never really liked RJ. He’s ok but he definitely wasn’t truly a top 10 talent to me. But hey many people think culver is a bust now too so if I had my way many would be upset if culver was here.

of course if the hawks drafted RJ I was going to support him. It’s just like those who don’t really like Edwards but will support him since if he was a hawk ...that goes for any player. 
 

im speaking truth on what I think about RJ Barrett

lol that depends who you’re talking to. If someone says we should trade Collins most would lose their shit about that looking at his stats .

However over the years  we have had plenty of posters voice their opinion about players they love and hate in hawks unis...not sure how long you’ve been on the squawk but every player is not loved.

yes, I remember how well I was treated when I didn't like Shellhead or Superbust Marvin. Or to be fair Trae at first.

The 2 exceptions are John Collins for some unknown reason and Deandre Hunter.

People don't like a guy - "Aw y'all are just homers.  If he was a Hawk you'd love him."

No one can simply dislike a player based on their own analysis/assessment.

This is probably the only thing that totally pisses me off.  As if certain folks are so above the rest of us that we're totally incapable of discerning whether we like or dislike a player unless that player is wearing a Hawks uniform.

Newsflash, RJ freaking Barrett is just one year into the league but as of right now, he is not well thought of in the league.  Hawks fans, non-Hawks fans, Knicks fans, who-fkng-ever.

Is he still young and does he have a chance to find himself?  Of course.  Shiii, I'm rooting for him because I like seeing dudes do well.

But is he high on the list of young guys in the league right now?  No.  Because he's still searching to find a role, find a position, find what he does well.

It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not he's wearing a hawks uniform.  Give people some freaking credit sometimes.

I would love the Hawks to get in on a 3 way with Ricky Rubio heading to the Hawks.

Not all. I hated Evan Turner before, during and after his Hawks tenure. 

I don't like left handed players so I'm good on RJ. Just saying.

Would be interesting.  I haven't seen the details, but one has to think Oubre would be involved in this deal.  If so, it pours alot of cold water on the reddit rumor about a Hawks, Suns, and Warriors three team deal.

I was more referring to drafted players. Vets acquired in salary dump trades are not given a lot of rope obviously.

Dont forget the Hawks/Pacers mega trade.

Hated Sheldon, wanted Chris Paul, didn't care for Josh Childress or Acie Law......just to name a few.

Paul is $41 mil. Suns have $18 mil in capspace...they'd have to move one of Oubre or Rubio plus Kaminsky to match salaries. They shouldn't have to deal #10 for Paul. A smaller assest should suffice.

I highly doubt the Suns move # 10, but I'd be surprised if Oubre isn't in this potential deal.  I'd think OKC would value him over Rubio as a team that's about to rebuild.

Agreed.  Oubre is an expiring.  OKC has SGA has their PG along with Schröder, so no need for Rubio, he has 2 years left at $17 mil.

I was never a fan of Josh Smith ... I hated watching him play because he was such a bonehead 

low BBIQ equals a waste of natural talent
