All bench: The Holidaze, AJ, JJ, OO.

I read somewhere, don't ask me where, that Nate was planning to have either Young or Murray on the floor at all times.  This is not set in stone.  He's like the weather, subject to change at any time.

Aaron seems to be a pretty good PG so the Hawks could very well go five bench.  We never know.

Seems like maybe 2 or 3 minutes at a time, two or three times per game.

I'm with you Grey...you don't sign an all start point guard and play him at the 2 without giving him an opportunity to do what he does best.  Plus creation has always been a weakness of the Hawks during the none Trae minutes so getting Murray on the floor during those minutes does not involve a lot of high level thinking. Nate isn't LP

yea I'll be very disappointed if at least one of Trae/DJM is not on the floor at all times.

Definitely with all of you guys.  I expect a few minutes without one of them but the vast majority of minutes should have one of Trae or DJM running the show.  Should be very little, if any, time for "bench only" lineups in a given game.

This was my original projection, before there was some reason to believe AJ was a real person and not just a hologram that we drafted with chronic foot issues.

So, yeah, AJ picks up some of those wing minutes with BogBog out, of course... as will ADay.

Y'all ready? I'm ready.

I saw the 538 projection that put us 2nd in the east. I think 50+ wins is attainable. How can anyone not be excited to see our biggest weaknesses fixed in the off-season.

15 minutes to tip and sooooo many empty seats. The fashionably late arriving Atlanta fans.

This offseason was so long compared to last year. Feels good to have Hawks basketball again!

JayBirdHawk ... before people arrive ... grab a bunch of extra tee shirts for the rest of the Squawkers!

Apparently everyone hated my answers

In before top-off. Praying for good health and safety for all of our guys this season.

We need angels to watch over us and help change our injury luck.

Hoping for all the good things this season. 
 

Amen
