Cam Reddish
the donic who couldnt even make the playoffs? this is hard to build a team and certainly Dallas ed up worse than the hawks. but man, the hawks didn't do that bad. John Collins just sucks, trae is kinda mid, murray isn't a real star. but talent is there, they just need to find a good coach. Rather be atalanta then Dallas
The other pick was Cam Reddish.
It’s not a coaches league, it’s a players league. If the players are as you describe them, they should burn it down now. No coach will make a difference.
comparing them to dallas, atlanta had more talent and it's worth cycling coaches to find a guy who gets those players to work it out. I know coaches don't do much, but getting the new coach bounce could spark them into what you would think their talent could get them.
Saw a tweet this morning, that I won’t be able to find now, that the Atlanta GM has been given the green light to seek trades that include Trae the offseason in order to improve the roster. We need to hope that they don’t retool too fast. Ideal scenario is they ship Trae out to replace the draft capital they gave us, and DJM walks next off-season, sending them into full rebuild. Then we sit back, bro down, sell out and cash in.
Before the play in? Wow.
Of course, it’s something I saw on Twitter - so could be bull . But if true, wow indeed. Minnesota Timberwolves level of “wow, I can’t believe you ed up so amazing” level of wow
It’ll be interesting to see what happens if they just cash out on Trae. It might just get the rest of the team on the same page.
Speaking of those two dysfunctional teams, I wonder if something centered around a Trae-KAT swap could work. Though I’m not sure how Trae and Ant would fit either.
They got Murray, lost a few first round picks, and a coach to go where ... backwards ? Not exactly the best decisions.
The Mavs were the 4 seed and fell to the 11th after trading for Kyrie. That dude is a team killer. I’d rather have the taller better player for the foreseeable future rather than the ty midget coach killer who plays like a wannabe Steph.
Also apparently the whole team has turned on him in the locker room and reports are leaking about his ty leadership. The Hawks are right on schedule for the Spurs and I’m loving it. Now they just have to pay DJ 40 million a year and they will be screwed. Multiple top 10 picks for the next coming years is going to help the rebuild. Assuming Wright doesn’t go Wrong
Btw Young averages 4 TO a game, plays zero defense and doesn’t even shoot the ball particularly well. The dude shot 33% from 3 this season and 42 overall. That’s not the person who should be shooting the most or running an offense through.
Heard it on one of the podcasts too. I really dont like the player personally, but it’d be cool to see someone with that flamboyance and potential wow factor playing at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks are dumb enough to throw the bag at Atlanta.
Yeah, unless they get a player back instead of picks for a rebuild. Not sure Minni does it, but a turd swap of KAT for Tre, for example, could be interesting for both teams the more I think of it.
No, they need to trade Trae, and DJ needs to walk in 2024, not re-sign. That’ll put a stake in them.
That would be the second awful summer trade in a row for Minny.
Shams went short of reporting that they are actively looking to trade Trae, but did say there's basically an ongoing evaluation as far as what to do with him

Murray was a better player in San Antonio than he was in his first season in Atlanta. No matter what happens with Young, Murray will need to justify the hefty price they paid to land him. But as an upcoming free agent in 2024, he also should be a player the Hawks consider moving this summer, even if the return is less than the three picks they initially gave up. Sometimes, you have to cut your losses in order to make future gains.
Imagine the SJax interview if this happened
Wright should call up the Hawks and offer the protected Charlotte pick and one of the Hawks own unprotected picks, and maybe the 2026 swap, to get Murray back.https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/4...-atlanta-hawks

why? Supposedly they didn't want to max him, and if now they do, they can just wait till next year when he becomes a FA.
I doubt teams are lining up to max Dejounte, so need to give anything back to Atlanta.
The blue font was meant to indicate sarcasm. I don't expect that trade to have any chance of happening, I just thought it would be really funny if it did.
how well does dejounte fit with wemby, tbh?
I'd rather be Atlanta with Doncic. A taller more skilled player than Young. In addition, Young is a divisive force in the lockeroom. The Mavericks also have a poorly constructed team and had a horrible offseason. Doncic has his issues as well (poor conditioning). Still a more impactful player than the undersized Young. I'm not talking about what surrounds either player.
