I'll let yall mitch 'n boan about the negatives, which I know yall will do ad nauseum.

One positive I saw was Gueye.  Played well after looking lost last game.

Another positive is AJ played.

Prediction:  That may be the last time you see AJ on the court in a Hawks uniform.

It's due to the Sixers. Flyers have the arena booked. 

Idk. We are 1-2 against the Bulls and Trae is 0-2 against them and has struggled badly with Caruso. 

Interesting to see how things play out. I do believe the Bulls are beatable for us this year. It's the Heat and Sixers that should slice us up

Both are tremendous 4s with tremendous potential. We got talent, we just got issues at one spot and that's the most important spot for Trae.

No Clint.  We saw the uptick in his play late in the season.  He’s been over playing with Trae fior a couple seasons now.  It’s easily seen by how rarely he sprints to and from screens above the arc on offense now, same with his tags out on the perimeter on defense.

I described the poor chemistry dynamic that Trae earns the lion’s share of years ago, then Jackie McMullan reported multiple sources with the team lamenting it a couple months later in one of the few large pieces ESPN has done on the Hawks when Nate took over.  It hasn’t changed.
 

Clint’s not even a great player, tons of offensive holes, but he’s been arguably the most impactful since he’s been here looking at his offensive rebounding, paint anchoring, screening, and experience.  Hawks are 139-133 all time in the regular season with him, 19-24 without.

Sad but agreed.  Such a weird regression.  He looked like he didn't belong in the nba for several plays he was involved in.

AJ and OO for who at the draft? 

[Hawkmoor]

Three losts in a row including this blowout fiasco since Trae been back.  This team...

Worst fanbase in sports, folks. 

[KB21]

It would serve some of you right to have the Hawks trade a potential all star in OO and watch him blossom while we play someone who can’t do half of what OO does on the court because he’s big.

I got blockbuster trade updates. Three including Atlanta.
