How will DJ Murray and Trae Young do together?

[MultiTroll]

I think they will do very well.

Both have PG-SG capabilities and thus can adjust to the defense.

Will rock in the open court too.

Nate McMillan is real.

I think this team gonna be fun to watch.

ATL going to need to stay healthy.

[dbestpro]

It's gonna take a while. Also, it's not so much how they play together but how they keep the other 3 engaged on the court. If they play hero ball then it will be another early playoff exit.

A lot of the upstairs crowd thinks DJ was vastly over rated.
Some complaints too about not licking Lord Poppycock and TFO boots.
IMO DJ did about as well as he could in the Post Zaza / Pop n Bryn Era of 2018-22.

F that, i hope DJ does well in ATL.
They seem to have a solid nucleolus.

[DMC]

As long as they are in Atlanta, they'll probably make the weak ass Eastern Conference playoffs but probably not get past the 2nd round. Murry doesn't move the needle imo.

[MultiTroll]

DJ 20/11/5 w 5 steals. :clap

8/19 (1-5), 3-3 FTs

117 ATL
107 Rockets

Looks like they got off to a very good start on that front.

Treys shot was way off but he must have gotten others involved with 13 assists.
Other shooting % outside of his own all good too.
Granted, it was the Rockets.

[daslicer]

They look like they will be an exciting duo. Like others have said at best probably a second-round team.

[MultiTroll]

ATL 136 Detroit 112. 4-1 record.

Deej 26/4/5
Trey 36/12/2
Only 1 turnover between them!

Capella did his thing in rebounding and playing D, Collins too and it was additionally the bench who contributed all around.

20/6/7 with a 20 PER, Deej is getting it done again this year.

Trey having trouble finding his shot, but still keeping the passing up.
His perimeter D could be an ongoing problem.

Beaten soundly by Toronto tonight after losing to the Bucks last night.

4-3.

Good, we need the Hawks to keep losing, hooefully to the point of imploding so that those draft picks get the best value possible.

Hawks lost again but Deej Murray is still ballin. 26/6/5 on 11-20.

Trey Young is not.
Anther Kobme type 10-28 shooting performance meanwhile the Jazz Beasley and Markkanen both drilled b2b, late 4th game changing treys. WTF is up with that? Wonder if teams are figuring out Trey cannot guard the perimeter. Yes i know Trey does not guard SFs but wonder if his shrimpiness is allowing the off ball guys to cheat.

cant hide a midget in todays league where players are playing positionless, neearly every clown can shoot the 3

[Texas_Ranger]

they are working pretty well together. Trae's defense will always be a problem, but i think everyone knows that. Wouldn't be surprised if they reach the conference finals. Bogdanovic will give them a huge boost of the bench when he comes back.

Very apparant in last night reaming by the Celtics.
Celtics pounded the three pointers in an otherwise close game.

Hope so.
Celtics bench took a huge steamer on ATLs defense.

[MultiTroll]

Yikes DJ laid an egg tonight.
4-17
and had a costly turn after the Hawks had pulled to withing 6 with 2 minutes left.

Cleveland won.
A turn the page game for DJ.

Maybe Nate Mcmillian wanted him to keep horking. I'd rather see him do into Assist mode when he's bricking.

[MultiTroll]

WTF?

Trae Young and Dejounte Murray scored 44 points and 39 points, respectively. Atlanta had a 16-point lead by the third quarter, and the two All-Star guards began mocking their opponents. Finally, Houston's young squad had enough of the insults, and a skirmish ensued.

As a testament to Houston's toughness and resolve, they were galvanized by the conflict. Houston outscored Atlanta 34-18 in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback victory.

During his post-game media availability, Murray said, “We had control of the game. You know, starting with me and Trae, we take full accountability. I take accountability. This game was on us, you know, it was immature, and that’s really what it is."

Not the taunting but the after effect. (Beside it igniting Houston to kick the Hawks ass in the 4th.)

You see this mocking of Rockets players by Trae and DJ?
Can't find anything on the web.

If true they sure got their arrogance stuffed up their asses in the 4th comeback.

[MultiTroll]

Eeesh. Hawk are only a half game above .500

Lazy pass by Trey to ruin a final game winning shot attempt for ATL.
You got to be aware of how tall Embiid is.

Any word on what came down?
Hope Trae is not turning into a douchebaggy minor version of Kywie Irving and other current NBA punks. Disrupting the team with a Me Me Me agenda.
Trae is seriously slumping with his 3 ball.
Under 30% in November and tonight shit the bed vs OKC. Blew another 4th qtr lead. 1-7 Kobme type shit.

[lefty]

Coach killer tbh

[Texas_Ranger]

Trae didnt want this new coach and now is probably pissed at the front office. Collins also doest really look like he want to be there, but that probably cause of Trae. Just a weird group of guys i guess. Wouldnt surprise me if they actually trade Trae and decide to go with Murray as the main guy.

I don’t think they will tradeTrae
In this scenario it’s the coach who pays the price

depends on what you can get. I dont think people are in love with Trae as much as they were before. I actually thinks he's a good player, but his defense will always be a problem, and he just aint good out of double teams, as he's not big enough.

Good point

Also not many small’ star players have been truly dominant or les teams to titles in the history of the league, Zeke and Steph are the ones that come to mind, so if ATL can get a few good, bigger players in return and put DJ as the main PG, why not

Also from a marketability/popularity standpoint it won’t be a major loss for the club as DJ is marketable

Deej Murray out win an ankle injury.

B/R Sources: Rival executives are of belief Hawks guard Trae Young could be next star player to request trade if team doesn’t make inroads come playoff time.

and i thought Luka would be first.

I'm not familiar with Bill R, but wow. Any of you?:

CBS Sports’ Bill Reiter wrote in a recent article (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/the-atlanta-hawks-have-a-trae-young-problem-quin-snyder-is-there-to-fix-it-one-way-or-the-other/) about there being a “serious disconnect” between star Trae Young and “many — though some say nearly all — of his teammates.”
“He is not beloved, sources say, and there’s a strong view that Young fails to lead, to understand or care to understand what is required of him, and that as a result the team will never achieve what it should until that reality is fixed,” writes Reiter.
Reported ‘serious disconnect’ between Trae Young, Hawks players

Reiter also brought up Snyder’s experience working with players with worn relationships, notably between Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. When describing the Hawks locker room, Reiter says various sources called it “ugly,” “broken,” and “total s—.”

And that's what happened to Nate McMillian.

0-1 vs the Celts. Altho the mental midget Celts are entirely capable of blowing leads, not looking good for Hawks.

3 pointers Game 2:

11-20 DJ Murray and Bodanovics combined
5-28 rest of Hawks including Trae Youngs 2-8.

Pretty much ballgame.

Boston crowd literally chanting "Over rated" when Young kept tossing bricks.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Two 13 point losses and the Celtics haven't looked that good yet. They should only get better in this series.

Looks like Murray was the Hawks' missing piece!

Not defending Murrays punk ass comments towards the Spurs.

However on the court from what i see he has been a solid if not spectacular player for the Hawks.

Trae Young as #1 is what is being exposed.

He's putting up great numbers, but the Hawks didn't improve by adding him to the roster.

Similar to DJM's time on the Spurs, it feels like empty stats that don't translate to winning.

[MultiTroll]

Pssssshhh.
What a soft, wuss out deflection by one of the 2 *gangstas*.

Was able to watch the entire 4th quarter and hardly characterize it as Boston dominance. Rather soft ass chit from ATL, esp chucking ball hog Trae Young and esp the final 2 minutes.

Don’t get me wrong I think Trae is terrible, but Russell hachimura hood schifino plus two 1sts? Come on man. If the hawks refuse they’d be labeled as the bad guys who won’t take a “reasonable” deal.

Even if the Hawks should consider trading Young, they won't. They gave up control of their own draft for 3 straight years to get Dejounte, they're not going to accept only two picks back for who they think is a better player.

trae would fetch a lot more than that, and nobody would expect ATL to take that unless hood schifino shows out in his rookie year like SGA did
