Official 2022-2023 Atlanta Hawks season thread

[Sly Cookin]

sometimes a change in scenery can do alot.

I think he didn’t enjoy playing with CP3 who has a rep for being a tough leader/hard to get along with.

On paper he more talented than Collins and capela. Do I feel comfortable having a big 3 in terms of salary of Trae DJM and ayton. Nah

KP + onyeka is way more balanced imo

The biggest elephant in the room for the hawks is do we give dejounte a max. I think we need to flip him for a better fitting star to justify the price

Edit: not saying we need to max him now (we can't) but we need to jump on an opportunity to package him for a brown or embiid or KAT

IDK about Ayton. Bruh doesn't seem like he's passionate about the game.

Ayton would be a step back from Capela. I don't understand the fascination with this dude. I don't know why the Hawks are so hell bent on getting rid of Capela. Hawks fans wanted to trade collins and capela for hoe ass Gobert last season.

You gotta move capela because onyeka is gonna cost a lot and between capela and Collins, you gonna get the most value for Clint. Depreciating asset. Dude was playing 24 mins a game

I feel you and I understand that but I think I'd rather get Kuzma or Porzingis than Ayton especially if we keeping O.

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

You think he ready for Atlanta breh?

yea breh

I see some folks brung up Porzingas… didn’t he have issues with how ball dominant luka is? trae is also a volume shooter.

Trae only takes 2 less shots per game than Luka.

 

[Estarossa]

I don’t why people keep bringing up Ayton… slim has no passion for the game whatsoever and this has been known since he was in college. He literally doesn’t care.

Trae moves the ball though, we just don't got nikkas that can knock down the shot.

Trae loves feeding the pick n pop, but capela can't shoot and Collins did it for one season.

Gallo was the only one that was capable of capitalizing.

Sounds like the Hawks are definitely in discussion with the Suns for Ayton. Also sounds like the Hawks nearly traded JC to the Suns with CP3 going to a 3rd team.

So I hear y’all MIGHT wanna part ways with D-Murray already.

I know y’all have up a lot for him for while you’re cutting your losses, what’s the general asking price?

Haven't heard that at all. Right now, all of the smoke is around moving Capela and Collins. I would assume the asking price would be high to move on from Murray though.

I’d think so to make up for that kings ransom you gave up for him.

Collins wouldn’t be a bad pickup for most teams

Why Phoenix Suns star Deandre Ayton can't live without video games

When Deandre Ayton moved to the U.S. from the Bahamas to pursue his basketball career, he longed for familial connections. From NBA 2K to Call of Duty and more, gaming has helped the Phoenix Suns star create a sense of community.

Once I read this last year I knew it was a wrap on him ever being an all-nba type guy

 

[Rickdogg44]

So wizard letting go of KP for nothing huh... and we can't get him

 

[deeman]

Please get Siakam. Also I’m not as married to this dejountrae thing. One season was plenty of time to evaluate.
