Of course the ATL
They tried to call us crazy for calling for consolidation. Ressler spend 400 mill last summer.

You really think think he's about to pay cam and dre to be sub 500. :mjlol:

The irony is nikkaz wouldn’t listen to what the owner said about not being able to keep everybody and now Schlenk is ready to make trades and nikkaz is quiet as a church mouse. We seent this shyt last summer including the Ben Simmons trade rumors shyt. I told y’all Ben might be the move, now it looks like it’s at least being discussed internally

Clearly we overachieved last season but this season is a reminder that you can’t rest on your laurels. Schlenk needs to do some serious reconstruction on this roster

Prunty might be the worst coach I've ever seen in NBA history. Nate needs to fire him as soon as he's back from COVID

Ben Simmons is a bytch ass nikka but im willing to roll the dice at this point.

Yep. I would package Bogi, Cam (appears the team doesn’t want him anyway), and Gallo for Ben. At least 2 or 3 of these cats need to go. Team needs major consolidation and it’s clear as day.

Yep, I’m starting to believe this cause ain’t no way in hell fukking TLC should be starting and playing more than Cam. I’m still confused at that shyt actually. Cam supposed to be your prize draft pick and 15th man TLC get the start over not only Cam, but Kevin too? :mjlol:

Something IS NOT right about that picture and I’m looking at Nate for that.

Cam was literally starting the last 6 games he played getting like 30+ mpg and now he's getting 7 touches, sitting in the corner like he's fukking Brandy, and getting 13 mins like he's a fukking rookie under Thibs. This shyt was uncalled for

i think ben simmons might be the necessary evil to unlock the next stop in progression for trae as an off ball threat and decoy while theres a legit orchestrator on the court beyond just him
trae closed up the mid range game hole in his game....theres only one step left. ben potentially would close even more holes on defense as well.
trae initiating with ben in a short roll going down hill (a la draymond) would be absolutely devastating.
2 other shooters with capella in the dunker spot?
ben would play for a fan base like yals too cause it isnt necessarily toxic in the arena and in general like philly.
I'm not sure philly would be completely sold on what you'd offer cause they keep talking about wanting an allstar but I'd trade for him in a heartbeat

The problem is Trae regular season defense is so fukking garbage everyone always has to help and get out of position. He only plays defense in the playoffs and first three games of the year to prove to himself he can play defense.

Simmons's defense looks tremendous in Philly but he has a tremendous supporting cast. It's a lot easier under those circumstances.

Trae has limited movement skills, he's stationary a lot like John Wall without the rock.

That said, Trae is probably as good as it gets when he has the rock in his hands. He's an one-man offensive machine.

If Ben’s jumpshot and FT shooting is still ass, then ATL would run into the same issues that Philly did when they already have that same liability on the floor in Capela. ATL might want to think long and hard before making that deal as the fit wouldn’t be as great as people think even if he would help out their defensive and hide Trae’s deficiencies as a defender.

Yea I’d much rather have B Ingram. Don’t know if NO is shopping him but would have to make an offer they can’t refuse. I’m open to trade a combo of anybody but jc and trae for him.
