“No, because honestly I respect the league, I respect the levels and layers you have to go through,” Pierce said when asked by Hawks reporter Sarah K. Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution if he was surprised at Young’s exclusion. “Trae’s having a great year. These guys have had great careers. And you have to go through certain things and you have to understand when it’s your time, when it’s your opportunity. We’re talking about guys, three-time Olympic appearances, and international basketball is just different.”
There aren’t any first or second year guys on the list if I recall correctly. Trae and everybody else needs to relax, he’s got plenty of time to compete on the international team.Yet Kuzma and Derrick White made it. SMH at this. Yall seen this dumb ass post from Coach Pierce and his Trae Young and his Dad’s response? Pierce gotta be smarter than this kinda comment

What Trae and his Dad say?i agree that Trae shouldn’t be one of the 44, however how it was worded by Pierce (which led to Pierce having to clarify his comments) is what has people on social media (including Trae and his Dad) talking about it
This isn’t the night for this takeHard to be competitive with Trae on the floor
Opposing guards have free reign to get anywhere they want
For every deep 3 or fancy pass, there's several wide open shots on the other end of the court
And if he's having an off shooting night like tonight, you get blown out even if it's against much less talented teams
I think this is a great example of itThis isn’t the night for this take
