I take back every negative thing I’ve said recently about Trae and the Hawks…I just have a certain “feeling” that they’re not going to disappoint when everyone expects it. There’s wayyy too much negative noise in the air, rn. Look for an improbable, well-balanced win tonight.:hubie:

TYRONE GA!
Wow everybody in this thread has officially turned on Trae. You hate to see it.

I hope he retires as a hawk, because ain't no other star coming here after all this.

nikkas acting like we have been a model organization outside of Trae.:snoop:

In order for it to work, Trae has to have a reality check with himself. I hope he can mature but if they fall flat during the play-in, it might be over for dude in the A. :francis:

Trae is responsible for the scenario he’s in. This isn’t on the Hawks

They’ve gotten rid of coaches he didn’t like twice
They moved heaven and earth to get a just ok SG

The franchise has done their part, it’s on Trae to change the narrative

To be fair bruh..outside of NY, Lakers, Brooklyn, Clippers and Chicago, when has any team other than them landed superstars during the free agent period?

Only model organizations in the league really are Golden State, Miami, Boston & San Antonio. We in the middle of the pack just like everyone else.

Hawks had the longest playoff streak in the east for a while in the mid 2000s/early 2010s, been to some conference finals games & have won 60+ & 50+ games in multiple seasons.

We've had the Danny ferry incident, shytty ownership, the giannis draft blunder, mediocre players locked into big deals. Now hiring the coaches son, the owners son, and a disgruntled John Collins on an albatross contract who we can't seem to move. This organization always got some BS going on.

We always blame Trae for getting rid of 2 coaches. 2 coaches we can all agree are subpar coaches yet we act like Trae got rid of Gregg popovich and Jerry sloan.:comeon:

Coaches that many of the players on the roster didn't like which has been documented so for it to be pinned on him is wild to me.

Then the offcourt issues like missing the game? Ja got goons pointing guns at opposing teams and got IG live ordeal. Luka is about to run off the 3rd all star because he is hard to play with but Trae is a malcontent?

The way this city is turning on him is brutal when this team's success has been hindered by the front office and subpar coaching throughout his tenure here. This kid has embraced Atlanta since day 1 and is putting up HOF numbers

Sure he has his faults like effort on defense but he has been a model teammate since quin has been here and I have faith quin will make it work.

He is already emphasizing spacing which Trae has sorely missed all season. This roster will look different next year and it'll fit much better when Collins is gone. Look at the impact Bey and JJ have had at the 4.

I'm rambling now but y'all out here trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Relax, tonight is an audition for the rest of the roster and who quin sees as fits for next year:yeshrug:

Team success is the only thing that'll change the narrative. This TEAM did not fit and was poorly coached this season. Even bron wouldn't win here with no shooters.

Trae could average 40pts, 2turnovers, and go to church every Sunday and y'all would still blame him for us being .500. :russ:

It was a couple seasons ago in a film session, it was under LP I believe or very early in Nate’s tenure but they worked it out it was just weird vibes between them for a few games
Yea he was on his diva shyt by trying to prove a point by not shooting at all the next game vs CHA. That was the first moment I started to notice dude is a lil spoiled and immature.
