Portland might try to steal Nate from us. Definitely something to watch this summer...

"Stotts, who sources say has less player support now than he did in years past, has one season left (upwards of $6 million). Among the potential coaching candidates for the Trail Blazers, sources say: Lakers assistant Jason Kidd, Hawks interim coach Nate McMillan,…"– via Shams Charania, Sam Amick, Shams Charania and Sam Amick @ The Athletic

Trae Young on the WOJ podcast:

Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young

  • Woj said he thinks Trae should be in all-NBA conversations

  • Trae talking about learning how to lead and how to get different types of guys to respond to him

  • Trae said we need to establish a winning culture in ATL to attract big free agents

  • Trae is a big fan of Nate McMillan, says the team actually believes they can win every game now

  • He said he felt better after playing 81 games his rookie season than he does now due to all the back to backs and 5 games in 7 days this season

  • Trae wants to play on the Olympic team (that would be cool)
  • Shoes drop in September

Anybody can drop this article?



From PT Hoops:

talked about how CC is the vocal leader on and off the court. How he has prevented the Hawks from having all the behind the scenes issues Houston had. It also talked about how he quickly became beat friends with Trae.
An interesting quote was in there from Trae about how Trae sometimes shoots floaters not caring if they go in because he knows Clint’s guy will come off him to defend and it will leave CC for the OReb.

Gallo on Trae -

One of the most important parts of that turnaround was the improvement of Young—a player who reportedly left "his teammates on the outside looking in" with his offensive style. "He’s improved a lot, in many things," Gallinari said. "Two things you especially want to see from a point guard is how he controls the pace of the game and when to push or slow down, and he’s getting way better with that. Also, reading the game—when to get guys involved, and when to be a scorer. He’s of course an amazing scorer, and I think he’s getting so much better with that ratio between deciding being a scorer and being a creator getting guys involved. He knows we have a lot of weapons, and you need to get those weapons going sometimes. He’s getting so much better at these two things."
