Doing this without OO, Trae, JJ...

Watching replay of us down 1,2 3 and we came back

Not looking forward to the Murray vs Trae stanwar that will inevitably play out, but I know it’s coming. I wish we could make it work with both of them but deep down inside, I know it won’t work

I don't think we will be forced to do that. All of our players including Trae have played great under quin.

If anything, all those trade chips have boosted their values in the last 2 months. If we make a trade, we aren't getting fleeced like it was rumored at the trade deadline

The only question I have is will the ball continue moving the way it does when Trae comes back or do we revert back to a iso one-on-one, your turn my turn, spam pick-n-roll offense?

A part of me realize the play of our role-players has increased because they get touches within the flow of the offense instead of being force-feed through Trae/Murray iso-style setup plays.

That's honestly where I think the issues will return. It's a matter of if Trae is willing to come off the ball early in the shot-clock and if he's willing to play off the ball and how effective he can do it. Right now, the offense resembles what we saw when Bud/Quin was here the first time around.

I've said it 100 times before

DJ is a Point Guard not a Shooting Guard. It don't work with Trae out there

And Dre in particular is MUCH better without Trae out there

I agree but I still couldn't see the ceiling of the team being much higher than it currently is with Dejounte as #1.

I would love to see how we'd look with a full strength team: OO, Jalen, etc. Maybe trading Trae could net a good wing to go alongside Dejounte. This a good stretch of Hawks basketball. Them boys gone play hard no matter who's on the floor for us or on the other team

Trae lowkey wants to go to San Antonio any ways

Let’s be honest there’s a lot of one on one ball with Maurry too, the thing is we have 2 one on one players who want the ball in their hands

We spam PnR even right now, it's just that Murray almost exclusively shoots and attacks. He's not looking to pass when he does it.
