The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

The East would be between Boston, Milwaukee, and the Hawks if you replace Trae with Luka.

Sixers if you replace Doc with any of us

 

[ill steelo]

Still wouldn’t trust the Hawks defensively but they’d definitely be better.

I had Luka on his own tier coming out so I hated the trade.

If everything else is equal, I don’t know why you would trade for the (much) smaller guy. Point was proven in that Heat series last year.

But it’s all moot. Hes still elite. He’s either retiring in Atlanta or we’re rebuilding again if he walks in UFA. Until then, keep moving around the coach & players 2-5 until you find the right quartet around him.

 

[Coupé It]

I’m not buying the report tho.

Trae can fire at least another two more HC’s before asking for a trade.

 

[king j]

We getting some snow flurries right now. It's cold as hell outside man.
Y'all be safe and warm.

It’s gon be 9 degrees in the A on Saturday I’m expecting snow

Traes a great player but the trade completely hinged on those extra assets turning into something real. Reddish clearly didn’t work and Hunter is just a dude nothing special. That’s what threw off the entire roster construction is those two picks not working out as well as they front office was working

Haynes got the Klutch connection and player relationships that no else one in media can really have. I believe him.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Trae can't be your #1 if you're trying to win a championship

I believe his words, of course - I just believe “Rival Executives” are trying to stir things up.

No way Trae Young would dare to ask for a trade.

I don’t believe it. Not at this time.

Atlanta have gone OUT of their way to accommodate him. It would be such a bad look.

 

[lawdog1]

We all live indoors. The temperature is of little concern for real for real.

I love being outside, personally.

 

[Armada]

Trae can't be your #1 if you're trying to win a championship

Maybe but personally I’m not invested in that part of the argument.

I’m a hawks fan first I’m here to see the hawks win a championship one day not the hawks win a championship but only if Trae does it as the #1 to prove a point If he gotta be the 3rd option for the roster to be in a place to win a chip so be it

Pels get the #1 pick for Wemby and Trae demands the trade there. CJ, Ingram and picks for Trae

Wemby, Zanos and Trae

 

[ill steelo]

Yea you definitely gotta respect any Haynes report.

That just reads more of Trae tryna get Nate outta there sooner rather than later.

That whole shoulder thing a few weeks ago was ridiculous & Nate has a history of alienating his stars going back to Portland, even a little in Seattle.

 

[danger style]

Trae can't be your #1 if you're trying to win a championship

The best offensive player in the league can’t be a #1?

 

[getback]

You just want dudes to be like Beal and Dame and never play in May/June?

Both of those dudes played in May

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ We’re talking about a dude who said the regular season “bored” him after one deep playoff run. I definitely believe what Haynes is saying about Trae

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The best offensive player in the league can’t be a #1?

Harden used to be considered the best offensive player in the league too

 

[Coupé It]

Him using this as leverage to fire another coach - absolutely.

But him ACTUALLY going out and asking for a trade, nah man.

Not buying it.

 

[nick.]

Trae can't be your #1 if you're trying to win a championship

He also seems to have no interest in playing off the ball so good luck with that.

 

[Coupé It]

Another day another opportunity to fire a Head Coach.

 

[Armada]

This isn’t fully a Trae thing this is mainly a Nate thing. It would be true if Trae was the only person who did nothing off the ball but no one on this team does that’s how they being asked to play

 

[D StaXX]

Texas folks- how yall be getting your gummies?

I packed about 3-4 months worth of gummies in my car and had it shipped out there for my move. But after that idk how I'll get more

My uncle in Frisco got a plug. He gets it shipped here from Cali.
If I can't get it from him, I just hit up the CBD shop and cop the gummies with the THC.
Them Delta 8 and 9 joints low key be hitting fr.

Played. Won't play ever in meaningful games with their horrid franchises.

 

[danger style]

Another day another opportunity to fire a Head Coach.

SF giants energy

Damn ATL gonna be in shambles.

I memba it snowing like a few inches byke in the day when EYE was living there.

First time seeing snow and thought IT was cool. Hopped on MARTA to go to my classes at Georgia State, got off at Five Points and it was a literal ghost town. Classes were cancelled and basically all of downtown ATL was shut down.

Don't know y'all gonna handle that.
