What were the Hawks thinking pairing Dejounte with Trae.

I absolutely appreciate what Brad has done in building this roster.

If the Celtic front office is incompetent, the Celtics would just be wasting the talents of the Jays.

Hawks are never going anywhere with Trae Young. I think they need another year to figure this out

More than just 1 year.

They're so all over the place with their roster right now.

The only 2 legit pieces they have is Trae and Jalen Johnson.

They need another year to realize Trae Young is not the answer and if he is then they are asking the wrong question

I think the Hawks believe in Trae Young.

It's a desperate franchise.

Hawks will be irrelevant this decade.

It would've been different if they just kept Luka and didn't trade him for Trae.

Trae is an exceptional talent. Remember how everybody lost their mind last season because Jaylen was the 15th best scorer on average efficiency? Trae's been much better than that as scorer every season except his rookie season and last season. But scoring isn't even his best skill. He's one of the best passers in the league, probably top 3 after Jokic and Luka.

No doubt about Trae's greatness on offense.

It's his being a defensive liability that will always put the Hawks at a disadvantage in every playoff series.

Big Al's almost technically a Starter. All he needs is one more Start, over Bench play.

Over/Under on this Celts vs Hawks Game, 245.5.
That's a high number.

The Hawks have 3 of the bottom 15 D-Lebron players playing right now.
