Nice that Trae could sleep in his bed at the new crib and spend time with family.

Let's get the WIN!

Nintendo DS balled out last game for OKC.

I expect him and SGA to come out attacking our newly minted All Star relentlessly.

But it's a big time Homecoming for Young Trae. Let's hope for a big game and a much needed victory:

I hate that we keep forcing unpolished young players into roles they aren't adequately prepared for...

Muscala, Schroeder and Teague?

I completely forgot this game featured so many former Hawks.

Bruno needs a ton of time in College Park

And people say Trae gets a bunch of sticky tack calls.

SGA gets just as many

Len injured..again...which means more Jones, sigh.
JC forced to play more Center, sigh.

He really does.
Guarantee contract! Let him spend time in College Park like you said.

agreed, its unfair to ask Fernando to play NBA basketball when he's clearly not an NBA player.

If he isn't able to play at the level required he should have stayed in school.

why? he wasn't going to turn into an NBA player with another year of college. If some team was dumb enough to draft and pay him just based on his body type and athletic profile then he'd be dumb not to take that free money.

The fault here lies with Atlanta for selfishly keeping him in the NBA when he obviously needs a couple years in the G League. He's definitely not improving.

We gotta get a Center. Serge Ibaka this summer as a starter? Derrick Favors?

Millsap as PF next to Collins?

To think we could rely on a rookie 5 that was drafted in the second round is absurd. Luckily for him he has a guaranteed contract.
With his personal life an off season could do him some good. Maybe even the All-Star break.
