We aren’t in the business of trading away young talent right now
Pablo, I know you aren't the most computer savvy poster out there but it should be obvious our boi WC is currently attending band camp. He'll return once he masters the trombone
Hop in. The caveat is we really don't know what this team is going to do but if you treat it correctly it can be a breath of fresh air from being mad/disappointed about a Falcons team deep in its regime failing so bad that it looks like it needs a major housecleaning (and I don't blame you as I've watched about 2 minutes of that game besides highlights, I have NFL Gameday Live on instead), and stressed about other sports ventures.
Right now, it's rooting on a team that can be very fun that's trying to learn how to win this year. They weren't a good team last year, but after an absolutely horrendous start, started to play decent ball and had some really fun games to watch later in the season (they were also mixed in with duds but the fun is what I remember). And from the first two games, it looks like a continuation of that/possible improvement.
Looking like a great "traede" so far.
Is a traede like a throuple?
Wait....WC is really old. Time is very valuable at this juncture. When does he get out on parole?
Count me in the crowd that was pretty angry about the trade last season. Then I started warming up to it as the season went on. Now I am borderline a fan of it. I just seem to expect the worst when dealing with professional sports teams in Georgia. Almost immuned to the disappointments at this point.
Are folks saying they favor having Trae over Luka? Really?
It's Trae and Reddish vs. Luka at this point. Luka is going to be a superstar from what it looks like, but Trae averaged 25-9 after the All-Star Break last year on 44% shooting, 32% from deep.
It's half a season, plus two games, but Ice Trae looks like the future in Atlanta. If Reddish develops into a consistent starter, I honestly think you can make the case that the Hawks won the trade.
Trae Young is something to behold. The pass he made in the first quarter was phenomenal, but the way he dribbled Aldridge into submission late in the game was crazy.
This team is really fun to watch. Deandre Hunter is doing way more on offense than I expected, Reddish was 3-3 from deep, and Jabari continues to just bully people off the bench.
Does Parsons give you anything when he comes back from injury? I can imagine him as a complementary bench shooter, but he’s just been so **** injury-prone over the last few years that you never know. If we’re hanging around the playoff picture when Collins comes back, I think we're capable of making a run.
Looks like it gonna be another regular old Hawks team and a regular old Hawks season.
