Yeah, two guys who perfectly complement Trae on offense and defense raise questions about his long term fit?? If anything, they give us a path to building around Trae. Does he think we’re suddenly gonna hand Dyson the keys to the offense? That’s insane. We finally get the perfect backcourt partner for Trae and the national media thinks it raises concerns about Trae’s fit. I’m done.

It’s a copy cat media league. One idiot says something. 20 more will show up and repeat it. Just ignore it. Those with common sense will know what the situation is
wasnt bontemps saying we were gonna trade Trae this summer too?
The Ringer and its ideological consequences have been a disaster for the ATLien race.
Dyson and Zac are the PERFECT supporting cast for Trae which makes this narrative even funnier.
ESPN = No credibility. I dont bother with those clowns anymore. Im at the point where I call it out to random peoples faces if they say some stupid shit like that. 5-7 with an easy schedule does not mean we are better without the guy that had us 2 wins away from the NBA finals.
They don’t even know that this team has not been healthy yet this year. I bet for many journalists the first time watching us this year was the last game against the celtics.
Why don’t you wait and see what this team looks like at full strength before firing up the yearly trade Trae bullshit, media.
It’s kinda hard to disagree. We have a multi year sample size with Trae. He’s extremely ball dominant and does nothing without it. I like Trae but I also wonder how many more coaches and rosters we cycle through before we realize he may not be an A1 alpha. His best role might be as a #2 or even #3 option on a winning roster. I totally admit that with our roster he kinda he has to be the alpha. No one else is anywhere near that role at this point. But it’s getting hard to ignore that we’re a .500 team with Trae. Every year. Not all his fault but the results are what they are. I wanna win. Don’t care if that’s with or without Trae.
These guys perfectly compliment Trae. That’s why they’re here, so why would we deal Trae outside of a demand. With that said, if Trae were to demand out, I think we’re set up decently with JJ, Zacch, and Dys to build around too. The players we should be look to be trading right now are one of Capela, Okongwu, or Nance, and considering deals for Bogi (he’s at peak value) and Hunter (depending on return).
None of these assholes knows a fucking thing about our team.
Same as it ever was
Criteria to become a member of the National media has been reduced to obtaining mail in diplomas from Sally Struthers Institute. Dick Schapp and Frank Deford are rolling over in their graves.
Even if it made sense to trade em, which it doesn’t, teams don’t trade the guy who fills seats.
Lakers “give him to me for 10 cents on the dollar”
I’ll put a slightly different spin on these reports…I think that Trae’s absence has highlighted that he maybe doesn’t need to be as consistently ball dominant as he has been. He 100% still needs to be a facilitator, but if he can find a new / different way to distribute the ball he may add another layer to the game.
I envision it as a “hockey assist” approach where he may not actually get the statistical assist but he’s making that setup move to allow someone like Jalen, Vit, Dyson, or Bogi to get the assist or shot.
The NBA media may be the worst of all of the major sports. It is the only media I know that literally acts to turnoff fans. The NBA needs to get this shit under control and start flexing muscle.
Also, it seems like of all the major pro sports, the NBA has a lot of angry females covering it. They hate the players and spend half the time complaining about why the WNBA players don’t make as much as NBA players. Absolutely ridiculous.
*Hawks win a game without Trae Young*
Should Trae be traded!!!??
*Hawks win with Trae*
*crickets*
Crazy how when other teams like the Grizzlies and Pacers win without their star player no one questions if that star should be traded but let the Hawks win a few without Trae and its “Trae is holding the Hawks” takes from everyone including clowns in this fanbase
The funniest part about that headline is the only mention of Trae Young in the article is that he has one more guaranteed year under contract plus a player option.
They mention his long term future is still uncertain (entirely true) but there’s nothing talking about “fit”. The headline frames it as if the team can’t find a place for Trae Young long term. ESPN content continues to go further away from nuance.
Something, something Lakers… Something something rebuild.
They complement him well. But Trae is not consistent enough against good teams for the hawks to thrive. It’s not really about fit but just his consistent ability.
Trae young is the biggest star this team has had since nique. He’s not going anywhere unless he wants to but he has made it clear he wants to be here and win here.
Because they want Trae in L. A. So badly. They secretly love Trae.
They cannot hype the young guys without trying to get ride of Trae .. 3 straight years of this is hilarious
THANK YOU! I laughed when I saw this shit.
I mean, why would Trae Young fit not be questioned? He is a stat monger that has no impact on winning a chip.
This shit is mad annoying. I feel like this is longest a player has been trade talks without ever being actually traded
