Trae doesn't dominate the ball when the others are playing well.  He is the only one able to get in the lane right now. 

I also wouldn't mind a KAT on this team. His defense has improved this year and I don't see him missing these bunnies that Capela has been missing and he's not a liability at the free throw line.  The fit with KAT and John would be excellent.

What the hell you give up to get him though? 

Collins Gallo JJ and picks...Throw in a wing if needed...We need a defensive 4 if we get Towns..Dont know what wed do with Clint though..That extension was nuts imo...Schlkenk was really drinking the good stuff when he gave that shit out..

I'll trade everything not named

Trae

Bogi

Kev

JC

Jalen

Coop

 

I'll trade both Hunter, Clint, and Cam for KAT. 

 

I am not willing to move Bogi or Kev. 

I am not willing to move Cam or Hunter without a star returning to Atlanta.

I'd rather it be one of   Bogi / Cam  or Huerter/Hunter or visa versa.  That way you keep the wing versality with offense and defense.

I just don't value individual defense as much as team defense plus offense. Something about Bogi and Kev with Trae just works. I think Capela is replaceable. 

I also forgot. I don't think Okongwu is replaceable. I think Okongwu is critical.

To me, I want to keep all of the core but if we can get KAT

 

I'll give up Hunter, Reddish, Gallo, and Clint. I'll be willing to take on Russell deal as well.

I would if I was the Wolves. Save a lot of money. 

You got a core. You just need a PG of the future. Who's the say they can't make more moves to get that.

So would I...But our depth would take a hit..

Trae/Bogi/Kev/Collins/KAT

Rife/Delon/TLC/JJ/OO? That 2nd unit aint gonna cut it..We at least need another wing..Lets take on Beasly instead of D-Lo.. lol

IIRC he can't be traded for 6 months after signing an extension, so March 1st 2022 ergo, next offseason.

Clint is the kind of center you get when you have two or three star players and you can tell him to just go rebound and block shots.

They won't do it.  It'll kill some narratives.

We live in a time when it's not so much the truth that matters, but the perception of truth... what one can tell people is true and get away with it because the confirmation bias urge is so strong in comparison to the critical thought urge. Right?

Me, I see what evidently McM saw... it was as-if we were playing the second night of a back-to-back, when oddly enough, we had a long rest.

And regarding the scoring from backcourt guys, not all of the shots that Augustin or Gordon made were unopposed. Quite the contrary. Sometimes one has to tip a cap that it's more that a scorer is just feeling it that night than that they're getting great open looks.

But it's December. This is when you want this to happen if it's going to happen. Not January, certainly not February, and absolutely not in March. So much script can so flip for a team with enough talented players and competent coaching. And that's not just wishful thinking--there is no shortage of NBA history, Hawks and otherwise, that testifies to that.

We'll get Big2O back. We'll get Bogi back. We'll get Dre back. And we'll replace Solo, hopefully, with a hustle/energy/scrappy player.

We'll be okay. More than okay.

Where you see that at? In the rules, that's only for ext-trades. Not if you ext with the team you on https://cbabreakdown.com/trades

 

@thecampster, help us out

He would be perfect for Brooklyn 

[Diesel]

One of the problems that bothered me was that we were not getting stops... all game.   We were up 62 - 41 and we still were not getting stops. 

We also must admit that Gordon hit some WTF was that three pointers.  Not just one.. but two or three. 

 

[terrell]

 

Our offense is just a bunch of guys waiting for a lob or a 3pt shot. Nobody wants to be a creator on offense besides Trae and then he alot of times makes poor decisions. Bogi should help some but he aint a bucket getter..   This team needs some guys that can put the ball on the floor and get to the line! ASAP
