has it effected what he does on the court or in the lockerroom so it's just a lot of people pushing agenda.

As long as it doesn't - I don't care about Twitter chatter with fans.

Yes. It was written I believe a few weeks before it was leaked.

Tell me how in the world you know this as fact. Did DJ confirm to you in person? You seem so confident.

it has been reported elsewhere it was written a few weeks before it was leaked. But to answer your question, yes, I know this is real. That is his official twitter account and that DM is legit. It is why he deleted his twitter (again) after it was leaked.

That was a real DM sent from DJ's real twitter. It is real. It also was sent earlier than when it was leaked. I have suspicions why it was released when it did but I'll keep that to myself.

But it was 100% legit from DM to a fan. He also had back and forth DMs with Spurs fans when he was in SA. This isn't rare for him to do that.

It’s 100% a real dm. I speak with that twitter user a good bit and have known about the DM from the day it was sent. He didn’t release it for any reason other then he was mad his dad put February 8th in his tweet

Have you seen Soth? He walks with his chest out AS HE SHOULD! He oozes confidence, it’s kinda fun to watch him own a room.

I think AJ is good as gone unfortunately.

I have to agree.   I will hate to see him take off with another team but at this point, if we are settled for Quin, then we have to make a choice to get a useful player in here   For whatever reason, Quin doesn't like Aj.  The young man has so much potential that it doesn't even make sense that we would not try to develop him. However, if Quin is not going to play him, then we should try to find somebody who Quin would play.  At this juncture, I think that Grimes would be better than either of the Mat(t)hews.

You know I don’t mind it if my boy had a chance and didn’t perform on the court. But if he gets traded and performs well which he will it will once again land on our franchise.

But if he’s glued to the bench, what can you do but look for a trade. This is some bs.

I just want to know the truth why AJ get's no burn.. at least before he is traded.

 

This is the biggest travesty for the last 10 years. Does he have some sort of mental health issue? WE DON'T KNOW!

Big Hawks news

Hawks are buyers

Murray no longer on the market

Bey isn't a lock to be on the market anymore. I was told they are strongly considering resigning him and paying the LT. Yes, I know. I'll believe it when I see it but there is a lot of hype around this in league circles.

Capela is still on the market but I am told it's just not a big market out there for him. As I've said weeks ago, I think Clint will finish out his contract with Atlanta even if its as a backup. 

Hunter seems to be the enigma within the org. There are serious suitors but Atlanta has a lot of internal push back on moving him without a proper big wing moving forward and that's pretty much been the ongoing story with Hunter and his trade availability for years. I don't expect him to be moved. 

Atlanta is seriously pushing for a Mills upgrade. Delon Wright has been the target. I am told Alex Caruso is not the target and the Bulls would rather keep him. 

LaVine was close to getting moved to Detroit but he doesn't want to play there and had surgery. They shifted their energy to FA, Tobi Harris

Atlanta isn't shopping SAC 1st or their 1st. I am not expecting them to be players in the starters tier of the trade deadline names. 

Hawks are really open to targeting another big wing to backup Hunter. Okoro is a player Atlanta is targeting. 

A.J. is said to Atlanta best asset, that Atlanta willing to move and he's been in talks for Okoro. 

If I had To rank Atlanta trade interest, 

1. Backup big wing - They reached out to Brooklyn about both wings too but the price was too high for Atlanta. 

2. Backup PG - Delon, reached out to Chicago about Caruso but cost was top high. 

I don't see a trade that's gonna be big.

Sad.  But when has a player had this auspicious a period and emerged to greatness?  I can see him becoming a useful player so as long as we get a useful player in return, I'm content.  Not happy about it but content.

AJ for Okoro.  Normally i'd hate that but if AJ is just going to sit then why not.  But doesn't Okoro become RFA this year?  

[ShooterSays]

This whole not really doing anything to upgrade the roster and fielding a near .500 whatever team is literally getting us nowhere (except the play-in).

 

Play-in champs bay bay!

Suddenly Okoro can shoot threes also which is weird but everyone’s doing it so why not a dude with a rough shot to begin with. Kudos to him and the staff for working with him. He was one of Jay and Cagey’s boy’s comin out I remember. 
 

I was team Okongwu hes comin Mac, he’s comin!
