AD would be just another mistake in a long line of mistakes. I’d rather cut ties with Trae and start over.
AD, KP both of em are literally one step on a rock and boom shattered tibia or Achilles strain. We dont need em. Trae Young has lost it cant get past nobody can't shoot cant even hit the floater anymore trade Trae while his value is atleast mid level.
half the players only meeting: SHOOT THE BALL LUKE
Nic Claxton me bro. That should be the target. Not another unreliable big that will leave OO manning the paint alone for 40+ mins most nights.
1-8 with Trae, 14-10 without Trae
3 coaches & 3 general managers during Trae’s tenure
every hawks player traded but him
AD trade talks smells like Trae and Nick Ressler meddling in AGAIN to trade our future away so they can be mediocre now
Can't wait for us to throw away Zacch for an aging and injured AD while Quin continues to have a job. Absolute fucking joke of an organization.
Not AD! Trade for Zubac or Claxton
We Need Trae Young to be traded before we do ANYTHING
Do we think it's possible that the front office is talking through a trade right now, and Zacc + Mo are key pieces in that transaction? Thus they're getting lighter minutes than they usually would.
Lost this game because we lost them in offensive rebound. We tried so hard this game. Another so close, Appreciate, Hope we can win next.
If the rumors are true, the Hawks are going to miss out on the talents of Zaccharie Risacher who is only 20! Hawks will be fools to make that trade but I wont be surprised if it happens
Shouldn’t we go after Nick Claxton, Zooba from the Clippers, or either Jared Allen. All of them make a lot less and a lot more durable than Anthony Davis. We got a rebound a problem we need somebody who can rebound and who can play defense.
Brad I was curious about something, you say all the time that you don’t like a lot of the decisions Quinn makes and I agree, so why not fire him? He consistently plays lineups that aren’t optimal. I’m not saying he doesn’t know basketball, but he isn’t doing a good job with how he handles lineup
We've got good players, but we're devoid of a closer who doesn't get discombobulated at money time. AD does not solve that problem. Needed: Size & Closer
If they trade zacc for AD's corpse they're tripping
The Big takeaway from this game..outside of OO's outstanding performance was…HOW can anyone…watching us take on the team in the EAST that you're going to have to beat….be ok with TRAE getting extended for the $$$$$$ he's looking for.?He's going to ultimately pick up that player option when that rolls around… NOBODY in there right mind is going to pay him in that 50 mill neighborhood! HE MUST play well on offense…he just can't anymore on a regular basis…and we all know about his D! ONSI roll up your sleeves and get ready for a VERY BUSY trade deadline…we DESPERATELY need INTERIOR help on both sides and can't let this year just slip by when the EAST is SOOOOOO GETTABLE! We STILL can be a BIG player this year in the East..the reg season is just for seeding…that's all! I really believe if Onsi can make a xouple of NECESSARY moves…we still can take the EAST!!!
Most ppl who say trade Zach dont actually watch the Hawks play, either other team fans stoking the fire, or fake Hawks fans grifting for that 1 week a year where they care only to complain.
USUALLY BIG TRADES. ….need 3 or 4 teams involved. Trae wouldn't go to the Mavs…BUT….he certainly could be moved somewhere else…to help off-set the $$$$$$! Give me AD at 50 mill….any day…over Trae….If you have to pay 1 of them! We need interior help!!!! Remember…he's being brought here for the POST-SEASON!!!! I still would go BIG time after Giannis or Markkanen first….but…you MUST at least listen to the deal!!!
Trae to the NETS….WIZ…..HEAT…..KINGS….T-Woves…or any other team that gets involved in a 3..4 team deal!
Brad…don't worry…NO CHANCE they move that PELS/Bucks pick for AD!!! That would have to be for the BIG FISH! Zacch…right now is a starter at the SF!!.He is also…going to be expensive sooner than later!! We just MUST address the PROBLEM…RB/INTERIOR D…interior scoring! That really would give us a CHANCE…That's all you can ask for at this stage…Don't piss away this year!
Trae gotta go.
Hey Brad…I can only speculate…like everybody else ..what may happen. But I'm sure you would agree…that ONSI will not allow his excellent off-season to go straight down the toilet! We have NO HOMECOURT!!!! You can't sit on your hands and accept that!! All I care about is keeping JJ/OO/NAW and Dyson….for me…EVERYONE else is available! I'm not going to lose any sleep over Trae/Zacch/Porz and LUKE…1 or 2 players can really make a difference! and yes…you don't trade that Pels pick…UNLESS it's for the BEAST in the EAST!!! Giannis! Go and get us some interior help ONSI…..we could be players RIGHT away with the right moves!!! NOBODY in the EAST is SCARY GOOD!
Trae being on the court when you can mismatch O and D at the end …makles absolutely NO SENSE! That can't happen! When you make 50 mill…you're expected to be the GUY!
AD and thompson… are pathetic.. dont think these 2 will be traded.. who would want a injury prone and a guy who supposed to be a leader..he sucks.
Brad…To hear you questionning the COACHING and TRAE…makes me feel better! ONSI..I'm sure…has to feel that way as well!/CHANGES coming!
More bad decisions down in Atlanta.
Why pay 60 million a year for someone who never plays wtf is this ????
The only reason I can see them trading zach is due to the fact they know they have a top 5 pick next yr
Bulls or hawks for AD
OBVIOUSLY if they are interested in AD then it’s for Trae Young.. do you have brain cells?
I figure the idea of trading for AD is not coming from Onsi. Onsi has shown to have good sense. Trading for AD is NOT good sense. His salary far outweighs his assets. His liabilities are huge: availability and age. It looks like the Hawks are back to being the same old dumb Hawks.
I'm not anti Zacch…he's young…has some skill/upside….BUT…what makes him available is #1…the coach starts him…but doesn't finish with him? and soon..his contract will become a problem when the word EXTENSION comes into play! That's why…under the current coach..I can't get all that excited about next years draft..when realistically/percentage wise…we'll probably end up(POST-LOTTERY) with the7-9 pick…another player that we won't even know for 3 years or so if he's going to be a longterm piece! We need VETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're plenty young enough already!
Great coverage and topics Brad. GGs hawks fans. #LetsGoKnicks
Ad would be a rental it's worth the chance he not getting extended by anyone
I wouldn’t get on that AD Hype Train. Honestly, I would trade Trae, KP, Risacher if possible for future assets. Keep JJ, Dys, NAW, OO as my core. Hope for the best in the draft and start over with JJ as leader.
If we could get Peterson or Dybansta it would be crazy! Without so much money on the books we would have so much room for growth. I would mind a soft reset
