Wow brehs…what an amazing season. We went from 14-20 on March 1, LP being fired, 3rd most missed games this season to 2 wins shy of the Finals.
There’s a lot to cover for the off-season but before we move on just wanted to shout out Schlenk, Nate, Trae, the entire team, the fans, all of us who live and die with this team and have been riding forever. This was the first time I’ve ever seen the whole city riding for the Hawks (with all due respect to the 60 win team) and to have playoff basketball in the summer in ATL man, just special shyt brehs and enjoyed watchin this run with all of y’all as well
As for the off-season storylines:
JC (Restricted Free Agent), Lou Williams, Solomon Hill. What we decide to do with JC will be really interesting…I’m of the mind that we won’t and shouldn’t offer him the max but that we will do a sign and trade. We need depth/starting level pieces back in any sign and trade…I’ve seen KAT mentioned, convince me brehs b/c I’m open to that now. We’re a championship level team now and we need to act accordingly
Gotta resolve Nate’s coaching situation. I hope this gets resolved soon otherwise we have to think about getting a championship level coach in here.
Cam & OO will headline our SL team. Want to see Skylar get some run out there as well so we’ll be back in about a month to prep for Summer League in Vegas
Hunter getting healthy and stronger. Him as our #2 will go a long way into showcasing how high our ceiling can be
Off-season needs: Backup PG (I think Lou retires and Goodwin is no better than a #3 PG), would love Rose here
Need to get bigger in the post, the lack of height killed us vs bigger frontlines like PHI & MIL
But yea man, just really proud of this team. Favorite Hawks team by far
