KD would be a good fit with Trae. Jalen and Daniels might be the fun basketball KD is looking to play.Jamaaliver wrote:I do believe this is the goal for Summer 2025.

Hawks.ComYoung Hawks Growing, Developing While Competing for Postseason
Young, the pick-and-roll maestro, now has an ensemble of wings soaring at both his flanks.
All whirring within Snyder’s motion offense, these Hawks peer towards the clouds when envisioning what this full unit can become next season, once Johnson returns, and the years beyond. “I’m very excited for all the work that we’re doing and the potential we have going forward,” Snyder said. “[We have] young guys that work and are really intentional about their work.” It’s not so mysterious, but it’s certainly important.
For Snyder, it’s [Dyson] Daniels’ progression as a ball handler that should even have the third-year G League Ignite product in the conversation for Most Improved, not just DPOY.
“We think we can propel this team to a championship one day,” said Daniels. “The more we play together, the more chemistry we develop, the more experience we get, the more games we’re going to win.”

Turns out: winning a championship does not mean you're a championship caliber organization.

I would have no problem moving Mann, Niang and maybe Kobe to better balance the roster

I do wonder if him and Landry are on the same page? Per Landry, this is a developmental season - if so why are we playing Niang, Mann, Levert so many minutes? Particularly if they're not gonna be around next season. Play the young guys and prepare them for next season.

That's interesting, because my complaint is the exact opposite.
I acknowledge the need and benefit for developing young players...but why have Risacher and Mo Gueye been in the starting lineup so much this season when it was painfully clear they weren't ready for those roles? (Admittedly Risacher has been better of late.)
Especially when we were already dealing with inexperienced starters like Okongwu and Dyson.

Because that was Landry's plan. Even Trae said as much regarding conversations when they sat him.down over the summer...tasking him to help the development of the youngins

I find it hard to believe that starting Mo Gueye was in anyone's plan from the start.
