Man, this just feels awful. Trae young was the hawks franchise and the center of our basketball enthusiasm for the last 8 years and I can’t help but feel like we flushed it down the toilet.
I don’t like this on the basketball side, it’s a bad return and you just keep him at this point. Not a fan of the direction Onsi is taking this team.
This hurts, but happy we got Trae to a place where he can thrive. Him and Sarr are gonna be a threat, hope we can meet them in the playoffs soon
Its sad, the team and we all move Trae. Crazy to think KP and Zacc are move value then him.
B+
Not getting some sort of pick for Trae is outlandish to me. I’m not saying a high first round pick or anything but at least a second round pick.
Hawks fan first! Excited for the Jalen Era and Onsi's vision! Thank you Trae we'll miss you 🙏🏻
Any remember former #2 NBA Draft Pick, Alex Sarr avoided getting drafted to the Atlanta Hawks like a plauge, two years ago? "Current" Atlanta Hawks Head Coach Quinn Snyder needs to start looking at selling his house in Georgia lol.
I know I been the ring leader about moving on from Trae. But it is sad to see him go. BUT!! I believe this was the right move and free that money up. I did think we should have received a draft pick but I do like McCollum. He can still play and really took it to us in Washington this year. He also provides leadership! Which we need as well.
Wouldn't it have made since to keep Trae through next year and maybe use kp's expiring salary to sign some 1 years then go big fish hunting in 2 summers?
Worst birthday ever. Nobody represented Atlanta like him and I am grateful for all the memories Trae gave to us. He is forever True to Atlanta.
New subscriber and big CJ fan! Been following him since Lehigh and was hoping to see him go to a contender this year. Playing alongside Onyeka and being back with Dyson is great and he could be a better fit with Hawks than Trey was playing off of Jalen.
The Trae Young era? They made the playoffs 3 times in 7 years and got out the first round once.
Onsi might be a one-and-done GM. Trades like this get you fired. Ask Nico harrison
This trade should be accompanied by the immediate dismissal of Quin Snyder.
Quin Snyder gone be next!
The Hawks have had a bottom third payroll since trae got into the league, until they spend more on the product, we shouldnt expect much beyond a fringey play in game type of team. Love the GM , BUT very uninspiring ownership.
Worst day of my hawks fandom… an always Trae fan. I wish him well. Now… let’s see what the future holds for the hawks.
Locked On Hawks & Wizards crossover incoming.
Adios🎉
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 trash asl how did we not get any assets I don’t get it
Take good care of CJ and CK!
Has any real Hawks fan watched Kispert at all??? Great 3 ball and has really improved his bully ball to the basket. He puts real offensive pressure on opposing defenses and is a great cutter! The NBA is all about pace and SPACE>>>>Hello Mr. Space….his name is Corey Kispert!!!! Also his D has improved as well…he has gotten a lot stronger since being in the league!!!
This team makes it extremely hard to be a fan. This is officially the worst organization in basketball!
Trae from 3 last year 34%…this year a whopping 30%…He is NOT the same player and CERTAINLY not a BIG $$$$ player. CJ and Kispert…real floor spacers. NOW ONSI…get us a big time INTERIOR presence!
Brad..you do a great job on your pod…but you're going to be WRONG about this trade! Just from a salary cap situation….and real floor spacers…tyhis was an EXCELLENT trade. You can't win in the post-season without STOPS!!!! Trae stops NOBODY!!!
Do you think a 10 minutes plus defense of your opinion is a sign of something that bothers you? Like you paying too much attention to people’s opinions
Who's going to give a RANSOM for a 30%. 3 ball…..small…NO D player???? SIZE and length matters!!!!
Hey Brad…If Giannis wants out…are you still leaning about keeping that pick??? Giannis is a real interior FORCE! I'm hoping that the BUCKS slide big time before the deadline!!! I think that the freak…is PRETTY GOOD! and would make us the FAVORITES in the GETTABLE EAST!!
