Has the Trae Young era with the Hawks run its course? @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney
@JohnMichaelsU @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney One run to the East Finals, which looks like a fluke run now. Since Trae can't recruit players here.....time to shed him
@madmatt20022002 @JohnMichaelsU @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney The Hawks have no money to "recruit" players and an Owner who is completely unwilling to go into the luxury tax. Trae is an ATM for Ressler and Hawks brass. He's going absolutely nowhere unless he asks out. Not sure why this is so difficult for some to grasp...
@BenMoore247 @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney They have no money because they paid out terrible contracts to OO Hunter Capela Traded too much for Murray And no one wants to play with Trae Team is in NBA purgatory and after this year they have no picks ….
@JohnMichaelsU @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney All the details are below and Okongwu isn't a terrible contract. hoopshype.com/salaries/atlan…
@BenMoore247 @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney It’s terrible when you draft him 6th And he’s a glorified role player Wouldn’t have given him a dime
@JohnMichaelsU @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney He has been a good back up player behind Clint & his stats have improved every year. His issue has been health but he's still only 23. Here are the Top 20 picks of that Draft (Covid year), who do you want instead? At some point, you have to develop your own Draft picks...
@BenMoore247 @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney Toppin Halliburton Tyrese Maxey They don’t develop their own picks, which is why they are a bad team
@JohnMichaelsU @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney Onkongwu has better year on year stats and has been more impactful in the Playoffs than Toppin. Obi has already been traded to another team. Haliburton is a PG so they weren't going to double up. Maxey is also a PG. See the issue? But Trae gets the blame, always.
@BenMoore247 @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney Halliburton is 6’5 and can play off the ball Maxey plays the 2 for Philly (Lowry starts at PG) Harden did before he left Toppin didn’t fit with the Knicks slow pace grind, but is playing well with the uptempo Pacers Trae gets blame because he’s the “superstar”
@JohnMichaelsU @BenMoore247 @madmatt20022002 @BFinn86 @680TheFan @joeham14 @HometeamBleak @MattLear @justin_burney Blaming a player for the FO is certainly a choice ..
