Trae Young: A Misunderstood Superstar

I apologize that I am unable to embed this video. This guy did a really good break down on Trae. I feel bad as an Atlanta fan. This is the guy we always wanted after years complaining that we NEED that call or us yelling at the TV because this player gets this call or that we need a bonafide scorer, but now that we have him and people seem to be unappreciative. Thoughts? I've been off the squawk for a few years now so I am basing everything off my own opinion. Would love to catch up and hear peoples opinions. 

 

BTW, ITS BASEBALL SEASON! GO BRAVES!

Most successful playoff push in franchise history.

Peoriabird, we already know that your position about Trae and it is understandable.

My take about this is that Trae is not perfect but there are not too many players that can produce 25/10 every year and even if we do traded Trae, there is no guarantee that this team will get better without him (even you can use this time that Trae was injured, at that time most of the playoff field has been established and teams that is tanking for that number one pick).  

To me, unless they get a deal that is going to help this team in the future, I will not pull the trigger on a Trae or Murrary deal.

25/10 at the expense of others doesn't win a lot of games for you. plus his salary slot is worth a lot.  Murray isn't a great passer and doesn't run the offense like a traditional point guard but his over all play may be equal or exceed Young's based on defense alone.  This won't be an easy decision but those 2 have to be split up period.

Let me repeat what Garrison Mathews said about the offense and defense:

5. Coach Quin - he is so smart, he remembers everything, very detail oriented. The stuff he has them doing on offense and defense took sometime to implement his style of play with his guys. It's a really good offense and defense and it's taken a little bit to really buy in and to really grasp what they are doing. He thinks they are finally starting to grasp and understand it. He is One-Of-A-Kind. Quins biggest thing is he puts/gives everyone confidence.

Hi Glen.   

[AHF]

Just for clarity, we can share a tweet from the Hawks best writer but “dummie” is not something we call other posters here.  Sorry if that is glaringly obvious.

He has no argument so he has to resort to insult. If he had one, the thread would be full of number that vaguely support his stance but he can't produce a single stat in support of his long standing belief that Trae young is vital to the Hawks success.

Guess we need to talk to Glenn Willis about his tweets.  I'm just glad this is a debate, it's way better than should we trade DJM for a mid first round pick or some other team's scraps. 

Interesting turn of events in the past ten games in our favor.  The King's pick may become more of an asset in the 2025 draft.  Lots of possibilities to close out the season during the Play In.  Trae and Embiid coming back.

Glen has plenty of data and stats to support his point. If you don't like them, take them up with him instead of whining about it here. LOL
