DeMarcus Cousins comment on "I could care less about the Hawks situation" was slap in the face for Atlanta Hawks players Onyeka Okongwu, Johnson, Zaccharie Risacher, Nickeli Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, including Mouhamed Gueye, Vit Krejci, etc.
What "situation"? The Atlanta Hawks management knew that Trae Young could take Hawks as far as he could, and was exposed a few years ago, as being one dimensional. The Hawks was read to move on from Trae Young, and the Washington Wizards was the ONLY team willing take Trae Young, and his asking price.
Kendrick Perkins gave a totally different perspective on the Atlanta Hawks future, as being a team with a very bright future.
i like zeke he told common snese for peole play ball, love zeke as commenter
Repeat after me, NO MORE MAX CONTRACTS. It's a job, will celebrate him when he visits.
Here we go. It's trade season. We're going to start hearing all the yapping about "ThEsE ArE HuMaN BeInGs" bro be quiet. 🤣 No one feels sorry for millionaires getting traded to another city, family or no family. These bums play for 2hrs less than 5 days a week and a lot of them use their PTO/sick days in guise of "injuries". Any player that gets trade, they got traded for a reason. If the team wanted them. They would have stayed. Maybe they should have worked harder to stay on that team lol
Stop drafting these lil guards and lil QBs in the 1st round….98% don't win chips. Numbers don't lie.
What's up with Isaiah Thomas. Looks like he just fought Mike Tyson.
You can't call Isiah Thomas IT. We must differentiate the legend from the namesake.
😂😂 got that super suave filter. Them instructions say don't move too much😂
Dumb Move by the Hawks….. And We Not Getting AD…… seen this Movie too many times. AD is from Chicago. He ain’t ending up in ATL. WATCH!!!!!
All the AD talk is just Smoke’n Mirrors.
Just so People will not talk about how bad this move is. If you lose a 25&10 guy….. or let’s say your franchise best Player and you get Nothing you want on your team and ZERO DRAFT PICK.
Tell Me One Time the Hawks Went and Got a Super Star or Star even. That they were Rumored to get?
NAME ONE TIME……… And When you start talking this early about a guy you want and Everyone knows it. You Over Pay to Get Him. Or the Price too High and You Don’t. So it Ain’t Happening…….. That’s why the Trae trade is So Bad. You got Nothing that you can use to help get the Player You want. The Hawks are not the Lakers….. Teams are not gonna just give you players. Because you are the Hawks like they do the Lakers. Like Kareem, Pau Gasol, and Luka.
Not 1 Draft pick 😔SMH!!!
Wizards bout to build the next okc in year 3… they gonna get ajbantsa, just watch
The hawks know they can't win with Trae and that's why he's gone. He isn't as good as he used to be offensively due to the way the league plays now. He is a ball dominant PG who doesn't play off ball at all. He is such a liability on defense no team can win with him. He has a career losing record. This trade can't be judged until after the off season because it was a salary dump.
I think the should go after giannis, package the pick with some you guys
Everybody gotta have a lil white girl on the show and I like em all😂
Yall think the Hawks lost this but I believe The Wizards did when they decided to try to get out the best lottery since maybe Trae draft
Where is the disrespect? This is Trae and his agents’ fault. You call in “sick” for a week….why talks happen. Smh. So simple.
Zeke damn near unrecognisable with all the work on his face 😮 WTF
If teams can tank, players could tank too
Zeke got botox 😂😂😂
And NOW THE Hawks get leadership. The SMARTEST player in the league comes to their team. CJ is a Lehigh Grad is a veteran and what this team needs and a mentor and an example how to play and prepare. They make the playoffs now. you watch. ok the reason is Young was traded. HIS Option next year is 49 million. and they figured out the team played better without him. so the Hawks played better without him and next year you have to pay him 49 mil. he was a 28 ppg and now is 18 or 19 ppg
Botox/micro Ozempic Isiah
where is zeke's STASH at??????????????
What filter do you think Isiah is using?
Hawks getting a Top 3 pick THIS YEAR.
He got traded to the team he asked to be traded to during a game he didn’t play in. He earned $500k to not play. Poor guy.
Why does Zeke look like that 😂
ATL decided not to pay a super MAX contract. It's that simple.
Zeke right its disgusting how they been broadcasting this the past few decades. Nba needs to have better decorum
Jalen Johnson's development is The Hawks had to move on from Trae Young
Isiah Thomas talks about being unprofessional, when he was running the Knicks, he fired his coach Don Chaney while he was walking out to start the game. Geezz!!
MF been slapped upside the head too many times by Michael Jordan 😅😅😅
I think it’s unnecessary to finalize during the couple of hours out the day the game is going on. But at least they told him and didn’t let him find out from the news.
its a PITY ! IT IS ! Bitter old man !
These are millionaires in a business. Who cares when a trade is announced. It’s business
40 million dollar player getting traded mid game is inhumane? 😭 They did him dirty huh? 😭 Maaaannnn stfu
Zeke looks a lot younger
Y'all trippin'. Trae and the organization handled things amicably, with mutual communication and respect.
Though the Hawks made a pitiful trade, they still are better off without Trae Young. He is so overrated. Holds the ball too long and shoots at low percentages. Wizards will be ass either way.
Demarcus Cousins has diarrhea of the mouth, absolute shit comes out and is spewed everywhere when he opens it. He's garbage
Zeke AI… Standing up for the little man.
Why are all these disgruntled players being brung to these platforms to give biased opinions it's giving WOkE 😢
You're brand new to the league or your career is over with the hawks. The wizards is the "in school suspension" of the league.
Maybe trae fits well with the celtics. Just a feeling.
Most women commentating SPORTS NO NOTHING IN DETAIL REGARDING PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. This woman announces an OBVIOUS simple TRADE which my 9 yr old could announce but defers to NBA PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS for the details WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR as SPORTS FANS! Get loss LADY!
I enjoy this show-refreshing!
AJ is going to OKC
Zee you ain't getting old atall
