    Onsi really tried hard to make it sound like he just loved CJ McCollum *soooooo much*, that he decided to trade our long-time, beloved franchise player for him 😑

  6. @kaizer989

    You don't get much out of Onsi which isn't great for the sound bites, but that is exactly what professional front offices do. Onsi is the truth.

  7. @garolehmejian6052

    Why wait? You retooled a team with Trae at the helm. Before the team got enough runs together you trade the main piece….. Not to mention that the Trae trade process was a sham. The handling of someone who had given his all over the years to make the team relevant spoke loudly on your modus of operandi, and it's not good.

  8. @FrediyPtv

    So he’s just like Nico he just saw Trae as a ball handler and not what he meant to the franchise smh

  9. @victorpenaii

    Like this guy! Moving on from Trae was the right move. If you can't see on the court (And the numbers in black and white) that this team plays better without Trae, I dont know what to tell you….

    He said the spurs and warriors didn’t make any moves and roster continuity right after shaking up the biggest roster move ever 😂

  16. @MikeDudrucker

    Hawks fans are going to eat this up because the honeymoon phase is still going on but in all reality, Onsi has only made 2 good moves so far. (Nola trade and NAW)

    In terms of gaining roster value, the hawks have taken a step back but have not added additional draft assets with the Trae trade. It feels like Onsi is building a war chest of nothing and calling it optionality.
