Hawks at lowest point of the Trae Era?

[Jamaaliver]

At this point, Schlenk has to do something this season to make this team at least semi-competitive.

Right?

This team needs new management, Schlenk is at fault here

Trav's response:

“I made some stupid mistakes,” [Schlenk] said. “I’ll admit to that. Some of the decisions haven’t worked out. Write that. That’s what I told them. When you look at our roster, and if I could go back and change one thing, it’s that we don’t have anybody with a voice.”

The philosophy to build through the draft and grow slow should not have precluded the front office from providing adequate veteran leadership. The Hawks have failed in that area. The Kent Bazemore-for-Evan Turner trade hasn’t worked out. The loss of Dewayne Dedmon hurt. Other veterans haven’t performed to expectations.

Just the fact that he's identified his mistake and publicly copped to it...gives me enormous faith in his judgment.

Owner Tony Ressler is not taking thing well. He has referenced his competitiveness and lack of patience in the past, and as Schlenk said, “That’s why he’s been unbelievably successful. He keeps the pressure on you and doesn’t let you become complacent.”

The two communicate daily — in person, by phone or text.

“Every day. Certainly during games,” Schlenk said.

Still???

Atlanta has been active on the trade front, targeting center help and a backup point guard, according to sources. Within the locker room, a disconnect at times with the coaching staff and the team’s most important players has been apparent, league sources tell The Athletic.

“No energy, no one playing hard,” one source with knowledge of the Hawks’ situation said after a recent loss.

“This s**t is depressing,” another said.

The Athletic -- January 3

I think this is referencing the Dec. 18th article.
