The issue is that DJ and trae are too small together. They have to trade one of them for an elite plater with size. They get bullied on D. I'm not a BI fan either

@HesiJimboSplash - No worries about being small. Who is really better than Murray & Trae & considered elite? We never see any guards using size to bully or by posting up & scoring on Trae & DJ. Not many starting backcourts out score them. On the regular. We do see too many weak zones, instead of man to man. With lazy, (unnecessary switching on picks or screens not set by guards). Instead of not easily allowing mismatches with certain teams. That is the fault of poor coaching. We just saw Murray beat the Celtics twice right before the play in. The Hawks gave the Celtics a battle even without Trae. The Pacers & Knicks Competed well in the playoffs With little guys like McConnell. Also Brunson-6'1, Hart-6'4, Divenchenzo-6'4, Annonoby,-6' 7. Conley is barely 6'0. These teams had better records & coaches. Pacers have 7 guys who scored double figures all season long. The Hawks have 8. Most teams have only 6. Balanced scoring among 9 or 10 players is hard to beat. Not trying to help other teams get better with our players. Hawks need to make some changes. Not by trading our BEST players & STAT LEADERS. Trae leads many of those guys in career points & assist. Cause he's that good. In 6 seasons, he already has most of the Hawks franchise records. Not many guys Trae's age already own multiple franchise records. Trading our best guys won't make us better it will make us worst. And it's not even necessary because the BEST talent this season are all FREE AGENTS. - Lebron, Derozan, PG, Klay, Harden, Westbrook. Guys like Oubre, Monk, Siakim, Toppin, Derrick Jones, PJ Tucker, D. Jordan, A. Drummond, J. McGhee. ALL good veterans. A few of these guys mixed with the right team. Will be more than enough to win the Finals. Our TEAM can be BETTER WITHOUT ANY TRADES. Just pick the right Free Agents. Delete from the bottom of the team up. Because with the 1st Pick, this is the 1 year they can really get the owners to spend more money to make them better. Only If it makes sense. Trading for random, unproven players & picks is impulse speculation & it doesn't make sense at this point.

Actually New Orleans easily wins this trade. They have no center Cap Herb a nice wing but I’ve seen Hunter have ten and 15 point qts and 30 point games while playing defense Herb ain’t NEVER DOING THAT. And Murray better than B.I. Straight up imo because Murray has that dawg in him, never seen B.I put a team on his back and say fuck it.. Nance a get in the way of Gueys development I’m high on him just like I was high on JJ. I’d rather they send out DJ and Bogi for Kat swing Hunter and another player for Smart, maybe bring back Huerter since he fell out of Kings rotation and draft Sarr. Trae. Kobe Smart. Huerter/GM JJ AJ Kat. Gueye Sarr. OO/Bruno

Bro I feel you but I would rather build around 2 elite stars in Tray and Zion !!! I’m trading BI and picks and possibly shopping CJ because of Jordan Hawkins coming off the bench and I’m rotating him and Herb at the 2 !

Anybody is gettable if the ROI is there.

@@25chrishall Not Herb. He'll outlast Zion

Agree,, no way Pels move H. Jones. Jones is probably best 3 and D wing in NBA, and has an amazing contract. He Probably worth 2-3 1sts alone.

Was looking for someone with sense. No way they move Herb.

They gotta give up herb because bi is on an expiring contract.

Mickey Loomis is the one in charge still everything runs by him first. If he agrees then it's going to get done. Mickey Loomis has run both the Saints & Pelicans since when they were the Hornets and getting Chris Paul so I think the Pelicans know what they are doing.

Yeah I am with you on that one!

Let’s goo!!!!!

I agree! I think if we draft Alex Sarr we will be able to trade onyeka for value

I am with you! I am curious on what people think a good trade is!

There's no Hawks fan that wouldn't consider this a great trade. Highly unlikely but great. Would probably be Dyson D instead of herb but then it wouldn't be so great.

100% true

😂

You don’t think so?

I agree!! We need too

There's no way we are getting Herb. Also N.O. doesn't want to pay luxury tax

I agree we need Sarr!

Defensive liability Crybaby attitude No versatility to his game Highest turnovers in the league Year 3 of still trying to find his 3pt shot How many dead carcasses of players and coaches does it take to get off of the ISO- Trae train? Even Stevie Wonder could see how THE TEAM plays and commits to the little (and not so little)things, like defense and energy, hustle when he was out. Sacrifice the one for the many not the many for the one.

​@@chazgoat693926 and 10, with more assist than anyone in the league in the last 6 years and he has the clutch gene. No one anywhere close to him in the last 6 years stat wise except Luka, and that includes Brunson, SGA.

I agree! Really good starting 5!

Ingram is not a bad max tbh

@@ATLSportsZone rather draft RR.

@@ATLSportsZone I agree that he is not a bad max, he would be a terrible max player. With all due respect do you follow the NBA aside from the Hawks? Ingram is a medical risk and will further destroy this organization.

@@damienslimknightt9505 There is only one player who make sense for the Hawks, and that player is Alex Sarr.

@@Dave-nm8uf with no backup at wing; RR makes sense as well..though bigs should be the focus either now or offseason...wouldnt be upset with Sarr/RR at this point..Free agency/trade is what really needs to make sense, the pick won't dictate much of the impact.

I agree! This move won’t put them in the Luxury tax if they let their other center walk

I agree! Would still allow us to have an All-Star and build the roster

For which team?

You don’t like him?

He is the number one defense liability in the league. If he has a off night offensively there is no other aspect of his game that can make up for it.

@@raymond2009vclearly not watching Hawks. Trae’s not an elite defender by any means, but his defense got better last season, to a point he’s not as bad as what he was in the beginning of his career.

Still not good enough! He made Kobe white look like an allstar. Hes gotta go, DJ is a much better leader and inspires the rest of the team to be better, Trae just sux the life outta everyone with his weak ass attitude and weak ass defense. Hes a cupcake

@@chazgoat6939 every player has their strengths and weaknesses. Trae’s not a great defender,but he’s been working on it, and it shows. On the plus side, he is a crutch player who can score and feed his teammates. Considering Hawks not having too many players who can create their own shots, Trae would be a better option to build this team around. When we got DJ, he was supposed to be good enough in defense to cover Trae’s short coming. DJ is a great player, but his defense didn’t go so well. Many say his defensive skills were overstated. There are ton of good players that lacks defense but they succeed by putting good compatible players around them. (i.e. Luka, Brunson). Adding Sarr and perhaps BI can make this team better. Maybe not championship material better, but enough to convince its FO and owner to open up their wallets to adding another star player to the mix. I do think Jalen Johnson can really step up this season, and Sarr and Onkongwu can stretch the floor without crowding the paint. I also think Mo Gueye has some rebounding potential to help in the paint. Sarr, Okongwu, Jalen, BI, Sarr are all decent defenders. If we can add a big defensive back up center that can help against other strong centers this team would significantly improve. Sarr is not much of rebounder, but more of a blocker. Just like what we saw with Wemby, such blocker stops shot attempts in the paint and forces the ball out to perimeter. Players like BI, Jalen, Hunter can really shine as perimeter defenders. The fact that Sarr is fast enough to cover both is a big plus. Hawks, like Mavs, should keep an eye out for 3 and D players, who can catch and shoot.

I would love Joel Embiid but I don’t think it’s going to happen

@ATLSportsZone the hawks need to go all in why they have the assets. Brandon ingram is a good player but his additional wouldn't put Atlanta as the favorite in the east

Not agree

What's Trae peak? Leading the league in points and assists the same year??? Or leading the league in points and assists since he been in this bitch??? How about career averages of 26 & 10.5 assists . Don't let the cracka media fool ya. Trae that dude. Look who want Trae Lakers,Spurs,Heat you know championship organizations and damn near everbody else. Who don't want Trae fake ass Atlanta mofos

Trae is the face of atl hawks like it or not

He's only 25

Horrible take. Trae is our best player since Dominique. Please stop listening to the media.

Yeah lets get an iso heavy point guard who slows our half court offence to a crawl, provides zero spacing whennot playing alongside Trae and cant run the PnR. Fabulous idea.😂 Trae is sooo much better than DJM its laughable.
