J Holiday has the edge without anyone suiting yet for 8th man.

I got AJ outplaying him. We shall see. But ya, solid as it comes keep JC.

John has a hard time holding his low post position  and creating offensively. Whenever he does hold his low post position he scores very well. Problem being he lets himself get pushed around under the hoop.

I have to see AJ out there but based on talent you would think so. Thing is, will he play with confidence and poise? Because that’s whats going to convince Nate to put him in front of a vet like Holiday who he trusts from years past.

This won't make some people happy.... hehe... and let's just be super candid... no matter the source, we're almost never going to get inside intel that we can feel super confident isn't tinged with some bias or isn't the output of some people with ulterior motives or isn't the third or fourth revision past a primary source.

LOL, obligatory emojis...

Also, again for folks that don't keep up with Twitter and/OR Trae's account on Twitter.  He is pretty damn selective with the "likes."  He doesn't just hand out comments/interactions with internet randos.  Also, I love to see it.

No one ever said Atlanta was going to trade JC without an upgrade or equal deal that wasn't ESPN and the media who just bullshittin. Trae never asked for JC to be moved once.

(To be clear, I didn't mean to imply anything about anyone here. You, Soth and camp have always sufficiently emphasized that you only know what your sources are telling you, and that's naturally all that can be anticipated.)

Yea it really seems like just rumor mongering about trading JC and not anything real from the team. Hope the rumors stop before they impact his career

Rumors + poster's opinions:

Hawks were shopping JC and teams were not interested in him because of his contract. We are still actively trying to move him before the season. JC is unhappy and wants out of Atlanta.

Landry + Reality:

Teams keep calling us about JC but are not offering enough for us to actually bite on a trade. We are happy to keep him unless someone can blow us away. JC loves his Hawks family and has been professional the entire time.

Have to say that while Fields is naturally going to be under the skeptic microscope for awhile, one thing that's comforting to me about him is just that his career is just a few seasons in the past... and knowing that and reading his words, seems like it has to be a little reassuring that the guy who has the GM title can empathize with the player perspective in a big way.

Good ish Haz. My fav paragraph..

 

The NBA content machine has tried to develop every narrative on why Collins is not a good fit in Atlanta - each and every time, it is debunked. One of the more laughable storylines is that Collins clashes with Trae Young. Not only did the two just hug it out in Las Vegas, but they are like peas and carrots on the court. Young dished out 141 assists to Collins last season, making them the 5th-highest combo in the NBA.

JC is gonna posterize some folks again. He’s ours let’s stop talking nonsense and keep him.

John Collins landed with a very good team for the 2022-23 season.  He fits exactly what they were looking for and I wish him well in the upcoming season !!
