Nah let’s just trade Trae he had 5 turnovers that were more impactful than his 37 points and 14 assist.

You guys are so goofy

If the "farm" is JC + Bogi + a few 1st rounders . . . you have to do that deal.

They can throw in Huerter as well if they want him too lol

His defense is so freaking good. 

 

He will never have the defensive stat impact that Capela has because Capela is an elite weak side and paint protector because of his game. Okongwu defense actually helps us when we are in the playoffs. 

Hawks may have their BIG 3 to build around?

The last few games have all been about

Trae/Hunter/OO

Man, these Hawks are really showing something these last few games that we haven't seen ALL season.

And how about OO? *Chef's Kiss*

Trae, Hunter and even Danillo "Don't Trade Me Bro" Gallinari put in work.

Addition by subtraction.

Meh.. On  a back to back....Still put up 17/10/7.. 

Not the biggest KAT fan on the board, but he's better than JC imo..

It has been to be honest. As much as I love Cam and his potential star power, no way even if he reached his ceiling would he be a better fit around Trae than Hunter. Hunter is just so good at making Trae guard a lesser player and you can't screen Hunter off either. He cracks screens like it's a iPhone.

I'll keep Huerter, he's just a bench piece. Let's not forget he got us single handedly into the ECF with his game 7

6 fouls and got dominated by an under sized 2nd year player

Really what we are missing is Bogi. He was so incredible last year. We don't have a replacement for that.

It's one game, let's not act like OO or JC have never had trash games.

I hope we didnt wait too late to start playing better................................ We need to go streaking for real.....

Im ready to send CC to the bench.. lol

Imagine when Trae and OO get that chemistry..

 

Start Capela, let OO close.   Split their minutes 24 - 24

Trae was dominant offensively and OO was dominant defensively.

You love to see.  OO is becoming my favorite Hawk.  To shutdown KAT the way he did was fantastic. 

I was wondering why Nate didn't let him guard KAT the first quarter. I guess he didn't want OO to get in foul trouble. He played foul free defense tonight.

The refs need to stop calling him like a rookie. 

Glad to get two in a row.  Tough matchup next game.

 

great adjustment by Nate.

Yep.. He and OO are perfect fits around Trae.. Gotta give Travis credit for that..

I expect fans to throw John under the bus but OO too?

[terrell]

Kirshner just ask about OO being the fulltime starter.. Nate say it should push Clint but Clint is our starter....lol...Nate told him hes just trying to start a story...Wow..

Clint would have been helpful on the boards in that 1st quarter....so many ORebs.

[marco102]

Hunter with 14 rebounds in his past to games. 

Great game 22 points 5 rebounds and good defense. Fantastic.
