Schlenk had to know this when he drafted him.....Did he actually expect to find 2 stud 2 way wings? Or was Trae just a ticket sale selection?

I don't know what TS thought when he drafted Trae other than this is the most dynamic offensive PG in the NBA talent wise. He's right but maybe we put too much on Trae.

Rayford dropped 41 on Kansas. He was a pretty good college guard back in the day.

Tito played in the NBA.

We have to be worried about Cam. Duke Freshman year. Rookie year. Now second year. Take a look. He is wildly inconsistent. He can have absolute nightmarish games offensively.

He was hurt.

I am almost ready for my 20 game prediction and LP getting let go. The hot start may have saved him and it may be after 25 games. But I don't see him lasting very long at this rate.

Kevin is not better than Bogi. Bogi is just hurt right now

Things are bad right now, but I'm going to wait to see how they respond on Saturday before I waste energy criticizing. 

I’ve been saying that for 3 games now.

Im gonna remain patient with the team until we have most of our roster healthy..But our core players(except Hunter) are looking overrated right now to say the least.. I was hearing "best young core in the NBA" for a while. Clearly thats not the case..

Bogi was playing some of his best ball in the bubble. That's a big part of the reason he was so sought after. A lot of teams wanted him.

I agree. I don't mind the inconsistency finishing because those things are hard to change and like I said, he will need a floater game and more bulk but he was shooting nearly 40% from Jan on from three and began this season at 40% from 3 after five games. In his last 26 attempts, he's shooting 23% from 3. We are seeing him revert back to 1st half Cam shooting mistakes. That hop is back. He's not shot ready 8 out of the 10 times. He rushing himself. It looks bad.

The Hawks getting an extra day off is needed. I think the kids are gassed personally.

Signing Bogi basically meant you definitely couldn’t sign both Huerter and Trea and Collins when the time came. And we wanted to be aggressive. Good job ownership on being aggressive but Collins is not a max player, Huerter is better than Bogi and you have to super max Trea? We need a new head coach quick to figure this out. And I don’t think that’s going to happen.

To me, Bogi is a guy that you can trade easily.  People value shooting, or even the perception of shooting.

If and when the Hawks want to get rid of his contract, and take on an expiring contract of similar salary, they can do it.

I think we are getting solid production from JC and Capela. Capela is here to rebound and guard the rim, he's done that. JC is fine, he's not getting us 20 and 10, but 17 and 8 aint bad.

True, but Saturday is an immediate rematch. That's what everyone wants coming off of a loss. They better not squander it. Especially Trae.

I still believe Cam could be the second best player on this team. And I’m way higher on Dre than most. Hunter is the second best player on this team currently, he and you just don’t know yet.

You know it has a trade kicker right?

It would be a great game to get OO and Snell back.

Keep kicking that can down the road.  Don't be like us and start trashing players and coaches.

His defense gives him a chance but Cam ultimately is an extremely talented bad basketball player right now. Hunter is pretty good. Thing with Cam is, his flashes are better than the rest but his consistency is just really bad on offense and defensively, we need him to consistently dominate on defense too. He reminds me so much of 2nd year PG24, it's crazy but PG was more consistent. Cam is more talented.
