I guess only one zone is better than no zones at all...

Overrated is not always bad. To be overrated somebody has to think you were good as well usually. With that said I do not see any Trae led team ever winning. He can sometimes have great nights but he dominates the ball to such a degree that it makes it hard for other players to be at their best. When he is on he is on but he is not a good enough player to make things all about himself so often. If I was the Hawks I would look to move Trae for a really good/great player in a trade if that is possible. I just think the teams ceiling will always be limited unless Trae changes his game.

Trae Young and LA rumors have surfaced. He purchased a $20 million property in Los Angeles in December of 2022 so I expected the rumors to start up.

Man, this feels like bad timing. His stock as at an all time low. His team just lost in the 1st round of the playoffs again. I'd really like to see the kid keep a low profile all summer and then unleash a career season on the league.

But...that's just me.

I agree, I don't want him doing it as much as Draymond while playing. At east he's not playing. I don't want a preview or review of games in season, just leave the wemove on Twitter like he does.

I wonder how Trae is handling the Hawks situation at the moment? Pretty much the same team as last season with exception of any rookies that make the roster and without John Collins.

Agree, I don't know at all what he might think. Now, he was the one who wanted Capela not being traded and the team trading for Murray, two things that didn't improve the team at all for now.
There's also certainly pressure from Klutch, even more since last season as they don't have Trae only but Murray too.
It was also a small part of why I didn't like the Murray trade, because I feared the pressure to make them play as the two main offensive weapons and that it wouldn't work, and it's exactly what happened (just looking at the BOS series and both avering around 43 shots per game).

The only positive thing of having this Klutch backcourt is that if they put pressure on Ressler, he might start to pay the tax and use MLE and/or TPE from Collins

Trae Young on Luka Doncic comparisons: 'Once I win a championship, it'll even open up more eyes to what I've really done'

[https://hoopshype]

Despite all the not-so-pleasing talks surrounding him and the comparisons with Doncic, Young emphasized that he’s not bothered by it. He also shared that while the narratives surrounding him and Luka are not good, they actually have a good relationship. “I don’t even stress over it no more. I know the real ones get it. I feel like for me, once I win a championship, it’ll even open up more eyes to what I’ve really done. Especially to some of my peers that I’m compared with,” Young explained. “To be honest with you, I have no hate towards nobody, especially Luka. We talk all the time. We got a lot of love for each other, a lot of respect for each other. There’s different agendas, and the way people look at certain people is different. To be honest, I don’t get caught up into it.”

Production wise, it is pretty close.

And they have both had similar team success and had their GM/Coaches fired in large part because of their lack of professionalism/maturity.
