Official Game Thread: Wizards "at" Hawks

[JayBirdHawk]

Consecutive blow out home losses at home? - guys are just playing out the string of games until traded. Sad .

You pretty much put most of the team on the trade block = lackluster play.

If they're gonna make moves, rip off the bandaids and do it. They can't wait until the trade deadline Feb 8th.

That's why I think Detroit is the best spot for him. He needs to go somewhere where his salary isn't an issue. Where it's a bunch of young guys and some vets you can add. Atlanta just got too many salaries. Trae ain't worth more than Murray salary wise but getting paid like he's a Max player. He needs to go somewhere where everyone still on rookie deals.

The Trae Young era might be over in Atlanta

WRONG

You don't add Murray period because like I said before...Murray is NOT A SHOOTING GUARD!!

When I said that shit, dudes wanted to fight me. Why don't you want Murray Supes, he wants to be here. He's not that small Supes, look at him next to Levine

I think Quinn is a part of the problem and he’s getting a free pass. It’s almost like he’s just collecting a check. He’s doing worse than Nate and deserves some heat. 

He deserves a lot of heat.

Even in his post game pressers, he deflects blame to players not making shots, instead of coming up with a better scheme for the team to play better all around.

Having our bigs come out top and guard the perimeter, is a bad thing for us.  OTHER teams may be able to do it with more athletic bigs, but we can't do it.

Speaking of bigs, he should still commit to playing bigger lineups, instead of always trying to find an offensive solution to things.

 

Quin deserves the heat.  If this was LA or New York, fans would be ready to toss Quin into Lake Lanier.

They need to move him asap. He's the first one that needs to be moved. They need to show that they are serious about building a team that fits Quin style of play. Murray is next.

Throw it away Trae!  

This I see, over and over.  If the Hawks want to trade him, I'm fine with it.  I'm tired of his non-play, his being a cry baby and his feeling entitled.  I know.   He's injured.  He has no help.  He's our only star.  So what.  This Hawk team is dead.

Monday and players will be eligible to be traded.  Will we or will we just sit on the sideline and watch the world go by??

Bill Belichick is a big basketball fan and uses match up zone schemes in the secondary. Same as basketball.   While he is in town fooling around with the Falcons,  the Hawks should take a look at hiring him.  Can't do no worse... lmao

The Hawks REALLY need 1st round draft picks and trading Trae seems like the best option. And it doesn't have to be this weak upcoming draft it could be for the 2025 draft

He should have been traded when he quit on the Hawks a couple of season ago up in Charlotte after the team meeting when John Collins called him out.

This 2024 draft is actually strong for Quin's style of play. Just weak in terms of star quality

I will say one thing. I'm proud that y'all have finally stopped bringing up that FLUKE playoff run

If the Knicks would've had Mitchell Robinson who consistently takes the Hawks cookies they most likely don't even get past the 1st rd

Landry 

Quin

And Kyle 

 

Go get two way players who are high IQ basketball players who can play with or without the ball, always moving, setting screens, playing hard and being menace on defense.

Add some size too !

I think we are dealing with a front office and ownership that don't know what they are doing.

You missed seeing the Hawks fail to extend their record of scoring 100 points or more in every game.  They only had 99 and I'm mad because they should have been able to do this simple thing, even when they were blown away.

And should be.  He is a franchise wrecker.  May be why the big meeting happened last night.

I don't mind having a smaller front court but the backcourt needs size and athleticism

I want Zaccharie Risacher and Ausar Thompson. Add Reed Sheppard. That's the perfect lineup for development short and long term. 

We need to build a top 5 team on offense and defense.

And as @Wretch said - it will more than likely be reactionary bullshit vs having a solid vision and plan. They are flying by the seat of their pants with salary cutting as the focus vs building something sustainable.
