Yeah, we should trade him for Colin Sexton!!! 

 

I agree with you in the sense that the Hawks should keep all their options open. Team > Player.

Where do you see these numbers?  I couldn’t find them when I looked on nba.com shooting stats by distance.

 

Instead of looking at tracking + shots dashboard . . . go to splits + shooting.

Trae's passing is still elite. He is continuing to play much better defense that he started playing mid dec of 2022. He is buying in to the coaching. All of this is good.

It is just his shooting. He simply can't shoot this bad. He can't. He knows this. I expect his shooting to return back to career norms. It is just a question of how long until we see it. 

Why are we out here having to defend Trae again??? This $hit pops out from left field every year and it’s more annoying than when I go at you Saff! I gotta be honest..

Look folks,

Trae isn’t going anywhere so just get nice and comfortable and enjoy the show. He’s the best passer in the NBA, you never trade that, not ever!!!

Trae takes a month to get going every year, and every year we gotta hear this hating go on.

Some people like living in the moment a lil too much, get angsty when Trae has a whole season of downward trending behavior. Nov - Mid Dec I do not care at all, especially cause he's doing all the right things on the court - just missing shots.

Trae discussions get so silly

I can't get a gif to work on here, but if I could, there would be a guy breaking into a slow laugh. 

You sound like those Laker fans who were mad at Kobe's analytics....

Can't see the forest for the trees.

I know what Trae is capable of and what he can do, which is why I hold him to a high standard. I'm sure he holds himself to a higher standard, just stating my disappointment and frustration as a fan. I do not want him gone, I want him to return to form. So when I say i'm out of patience, it is me voicing my frustration not my intent to see him elsewhere. It would be unwise to trade someone with Trae's talent that WANTS to be here.  As others have mentioned he is taking less "hero" shots and distributing the ball more evenly instead of playing buddy ball with Murray. This is good. Baby steps...

What did I just walk into?  Is that a serious post from dies-o?  He's been on a tear lately.  Ever since I tore him a new one in his draft conspiracy thread.

We aren't suggesting he be traded. Just take fewer shots and better shots.
