First
Trae should get traded as soon as Jalen Johnson is an All-Star
Trae is an awful player with his usage
trae young is a milwaukee buck
Their defence suuuck with him lol
Lol wtf you talking about haslem. Trae took that trash team to the ECF, then what did they do? They bought in Dejounte Murray so that Trae would have to share the ball. Then Dejounte was supposed to be defensive expert and he didn't even play defense. They haven't done sh*t to build around Trae.
Rudy is such a horrible fit.
Canāt get over how humble you are, this is the type of content that sticks.
IMHO this guys are much much better analysing the game than Shaq and K. Smith did it (but Charles Barkley is unique).
He should be off the bench
He doesnt play defense and gets exposed, simple as that. Jalen Johnsons just a better overall player
Ppl have to realize that these ultra good offensive players tend to show little effort on defense. It's better to have a two-way player who can do both pretty well than to have a player who's a liability on defense. Same issue the Lakers have with LeBron and Luka on the same team. The best teams like SA, OKC, DET, and NYK have a bunch of guys who do both. Having offensively gifted superstars isn't enough anymore because everybody in the league can shoot now.
Not being funny but why does every pundit/former player always get onto Trae Young about his size. There are so many PGs in this league (currently) that are the exact same size as him or even smaller I.e Jalen Brunson, Dearon Fox, Kyrie Irving etc.
tf is UD talkign about Trae has played w some the worse teams fro one of the best players in the league. Talking about winning basketball. And even still went on a huge run afew years ago.
Blake appears to be hitting the tanning booth
Did Rudy just called UD as JDub?
To me it's coaching. 1 guy shouldn't make your defense go down 20 spots. That's a scheme/game plan thing. I can see going down 5-10 spots but 20 is crazyyyyy
This kind of content makes me feel seen, thank you for being present.
Bringing up the Lakers c'mon man get off their meat
Griffin n Gay haven't won shit I don't want to hear from them n they wasn't good defensively
What does Udonis mean winning? Dude took Atl as an underdog to conference finals, or am I bugging? Dudes just love fancy buzz words
Trae is not the issue folks, if you canāt rebound your on board you cannot win a high school game.
Did yall forget what Trae young done for the hawks taking em to conference finals as a āmismatch who canāt defendā. He was killing it out there literally was unguardable play making like nothing and heās undersized. Canāt wait to see hawks fall off when heās gone cos the disrespect is crazy
If he was a half decent defender then yes but he's too much of a liability. I would have never drafted him
This is old media game. Just putting wins and losses numbers without any context. They do it with anyone when team wins without the guy. But who they played? Did they have the rest of the guys, were opponents full strength, were there any back to backsā¦etc. Trae is THE BEST player on a team.
I agree with UD
I love Trae as a Hawks fan, but simply we do better without him playing. If we can trade him for a lower offensive engine that won't be a defensive liability. He is great for his playmaking but we have Jalen and Dyson for that. Scoring would be the only thing taking a hit.
Small guards who dominate the ball are becoming extinct like slashing two guards and back to basket centers. A small guy who canāt defend and has a high usage rate isnāt going to produce wins. The team belongs to Jalen Johnson now.
I wonder why none of these new sports companies havenāt hired Molly Qerim yet.
Trae Young has been among the leaders in assists for the past 3 seasons. The Hawks drafted a BUST with the 1st pick in the draft last year. They haven't really brought in any impact players. Porzingas is injury prone. John Collins was good and they got rid of him. It's the front office's fault. Not Trae Young. But it all starts with ATL trading Luka for Trae.
Trae young for lamelo
UD in his TV guy feelingsā¦ itās way more than Trae for the issues with the Hawks. Canāt put the blame on him like that. Unfair and lazy take. It sounds good for TV and casuals. SMH
why it's so cloudy in that studio?
I have no idea what taylor rooks is talking about…. but I agree with her
Correlation doesn't always mean causation. Atlanta has had to rely on a 6'9 big in Okongwu to play 40 mins a night with KP out. How many games are you going to win giving up 15+ offensive rebs? Well that's been the case with KP out. There hasn't been a lot of games where Trae Young plays with a proper C in the paint to contest shots and grab rebounds. If Trae and KP get a good run of games together, and the Hawks are still losing, I would accept that a trade might be best, but not right now. It's too early
Itās not fixable, heās too short to play defence
How about just being honest and saying Trae is too small to guard any decent NBA player especially with his lack of effort.
This sugar coating by saying he makes the game easier is nonsense. The question is, does he make the Hawks win better or not? The answer is a resounding NO
Bye bye Trae. Build around Risacher, Jalen, big o, Dyson and Naw, and they have the pelicans number one draft pick
Trae Young is just too small in size , which makes him a liability in defence
Both CP3 & Dame Lillard kinda PGs are gradually being faced out of the league . Guards now are bigger & taller …
Trade Trae young for Lamelo ball šš
Hawks just blew out to potential finals teams. They don't need anything but health. That lineup is disgusting, it just has to stay on the court.
No lie trae aint had a real team in years in atl lol compared to actually winning teams.
I hope they trade him so he can get a fresh start and stop getting blamed. I know the defense drops when he is on the court but the record with him on and off the court isn't telling the whole story. Let's see if they can keep it up a whole season without him then I would eat my words.
Give him credit. Trae haunts Ben Simmons TO DIS DAY! š
You can't win with Trae as your best player. He's tooo small. I'm the history of the game. Very few small have/can win. He isn't at the level of those similar smalls (AI, Zeke, Steph)
90s had 5ā3 muggsy. Short players no more unless your like Brunson
Warriors hid steph on defense. Mavs used to hide Luka on defense. Its doable. The problem is while Trae is a good offensive player, he's not on prime Steph or Luka's level. So its not really worth the effort. They should trade him.
He to little
Trae has led and made big shots at this point its just about his team.
