Cam never came across like a pro.  Just a weird dude who doesn't have the mentality to be a net positive player.  Way worse than Josh Smith, and we talk about him like he's a bonehead.  At least Josh is top 5 in almost every stat for all time numbers of our franchise: points, blocks, steals, rebounds, etc. 

Never understood why Cam got so much love.    

Hype beast nba culture is the answer to your last statement.

Can someone lock this dumbass thread already?

Same.  I love supporting this team and am plenty happy to change how I feel about some situations or at least take a positive outlook, but if we traded for Westbrook I would legit stop watching the Hawks and try to watch soccer or something lol

I almost handed it my membership when we traded Jason Terry for Antoine Walker. This would be like that but worse.

Ill take a guess, Cam didn't like playing with Trae. I highly doubt he had any beef with Kev, Dre or JC.

The Reddish camp was adamant at exploring his trade value and Reddish was calling for opportunities to showcase his abilities (to perhaps increase his value). This led to some sloppy inefficient play and rubbed some teammates the wrong way (behind closed doors talk).

True but wasn’t “being patient” on Cam possibly holding Trae and us back as an organization? You can’t see the forest for the trees  

I see the big picture and I see the future outset. What good is seeing the forest from the trees when the bulldozer is coming

We had a chance to draft Luka Doncic and we f***ed it up is what's getting me the most right now.

Not long ago you were talking about how the trade was fair (or that we won, can't remember exactly) because trae is the best offensive player of all time.  Your opinions swing so wildly with our record you can always look back at something you said be "right"... Luka has all the same issues Trae has and they run the same heliocentric offense you now hate -- the only advantage is a little size which helps him collect meaningless rebounds every game.  At least Trae doesnt show up to the start of the season out of shape

Here's the remix of the remix...

Luka is having a terrible season though. Shooting 43 from the field 31 from three an abysmal 52% TS% averaging around 5 TOs per 36 mins, also doesn't play defense.

I remember being like Hawks being the Hawks again. I think that era is back again. Some franchises are in the NBA to be Farm systems. Like the Kansas City Royals but even they occasionally win a title.

Westbrook might be the most toxic asset in the NBA, along with John Wall.

Luka is still Luka. Even when struggling, he's easier to build around because he's 6'7 235 pounds and play Point forward meaning you only need one wing and its suffice. 

You dont need PDS wings who can defend. Two way bigs and none of that shit you gotta get right when it comes to Trae.

I hope this trade works out and Cam doesn't end up being a good player. But not feeling good about this, and no amount of rationalizing will help. Outside of this being the first domino in a series of moves that ends up in us getting a clear upgrade over Cam, this move will leave a bad taste in my mouth.

We brought in Nate for leadership & got the opposite. I'm with Reddish camp, what a slap in the face to give TLC minutes over Cam. I really can't stand this team, front office & coaching staff included.

Lakers made this deal thinking it will get them over because Kuz doesn't fit Bron ball and now look at their asses. Bron is at the 5 and Russ is stinking it up viciously. Kuz showing all star production of late. 

I can’t help but think Schlenk saw this then pulled the trigger

It's a lot easier with that guy. He might not win shit either but easier for sure.

I'm thinking I'm going to check in on this thread in a few days to see what everyone thinks.

I'm running with this narrative:

Here's the remix of the remix...

Knox to Houston

Gallo Bogi Augustin to LAL

Westbrook/ 1st (Atl) to Philly

Simmons to ATL. 

 

Because it makes the most sense in these dark times.    Let me explain.  This is all Klutch Sports doing so that they can get Lebron a ring.  Remember Lebron snooping around Atlanta's squad just last week.   He needed some shooters to go with Monk.  AND they hate Westbrook in LAL.   

Paul told Travis, "I can get Morey to give you Simmons, but you have to pay your taxes to the King."

Los Angeles wins by subtraction.   LAL also likes an Old Guy so they get Augustin. 

Philly gets their Allstar quality player for Ben Simmons and a first. 

We get Ben Simmons. 

That must be what we're doing.  My inside voice told me that this is the deal.

That's a valid point, but notwithstanding it's not like Dallas is lighting the world on fire atm. Have they won a playoff series since trading for Doncic? I think it's still completely up in the air who will be the better player and centerpiece.
