Wow.  That is remarkable.  I'm kind of shocked by this stat.  Would not have thought Trae would be #1 among our All-Stars.

In light of this criticism of Trae, I bring back this article from the turn of the century about Gary Payton.

Are any of them (besides DJ) close enough to Trae's level? Where teams are selling out to stop them?

Or a better question.  How many of those players are a top 10 - 15 player at their position?

I'm not.

Seeing that only 3 of those guys ever reached a conference final, it meant that Trae's 12 - 15 record in the playoffs so far, would be at or near the top of the list.

I'm more shocked at the playoff record of Mookie, Smitty, and Dikembe.  I thought they were a little higher than that.  But in hindsight, that group did lose a few series 0 - 3 or 1 - 4, mainly to the Bulls.

 

And I forgot Dan Roundfield  ( 9 - 15 ) in the playoffs as a Hawk . . . 40%

And Kevin Willis was ( 21 - 28 ) . . . 42.9%

Looks like Trae removed all things Atlanta from his instagram page.

With free agents i usually don't read much into that but this is actually pretty weird for the franchise center piece currently under a max contract.  But also weird to do when the season isn't even over yet.

I’m sure @TheNorthCydeRises knows exactly why and can totally defend it.  
 

Bigger picture though this is the type of utter nonsense that Quinn and Kyle loathe trust me.

Not worried about him scrubbing his instagram page clean.  He's looking forward to working with Quinn.

Grown men aren't worried about another grown man's instagram page.  I'm 100% positive that Quinn and Kyle didn't think anything about it, because they may have never checked it.

Apparently this is a yearly occurrence.  probably prepping for his podcast/shoe launch.

This. If anything erasing everything means he’s tired of social media like @kg01 is tired of bickering with you b!tches on the daily.

Why would Quin or Kyle care about Trae's off-season social media life lol

Trae . . . you have to become the best PG in the history of the game, to satisfy your critics.

In 2021-2022 he basically had a perfect season and still got blasted by people.  None of the chuckers like Westbrook and Iverson ever had shooting efficiency like that.  I really can't wait to see how he does next year.

No such thing as perfect but he played very very good that season, and there's not much more he could have been by himself with that coaching staff and roster circumstances. 

Also, not sure what more there is to discuss with another Trae Young thread.  He did not play off ball much last year and Nate did next to nothing to make Trae + Murray a 1+1=3 instead of 1+1=2.  Staggering minutes...taking turns... brilliant stuff.  We're going to find out really soon this next season what Trae looks like under Quin.  Until we get into next season, I don't think there's much more to discuss.
