The Atlanta Hawks never won a game in the Eastern Conference Finals until Trae Young arrived. Not with Wilkins, not with Mutumbo, not with anyone else ever. Put some respect on Trae's name

-The duo needs to end!- The duo should have never been put together in the first place *FIXT*

These ppl don't realize that Murray hasn't been the only change to the line-up. Quin has been better since he's gotten out of his 8-man rotation and explored minutes with more of the young guys.

Unpopular Opinion: You don’t need to trade either. Trae and Dejounte can work. But don’t rub the offense through the two. Use JJ to initiate/bridge the offense. Let Trae move around freely and use his speed to open up the court.

Someone should tell Zach he has a microphone on so he doesn’t have to yell

lol Trae took them to a Eastern Conference Finals trade him i guess Trae gon hoop regardless

Remember when the Grizzlies were 25-2 without Ja? No one was seriously saying they should trade Ja, but Hawks should trade Trae? Makes no sense

The problem is this shows how little impact Trae truly has on winning. If he had value before, its lower now cause the teams interested know he's less of a winning play than Dejounte

Trae and wemby together would be crazy

The difference is there defense. That's why they have a winning record without trae.

Team playing team defense has nothing to do with Trae Young. It's the team actually trying to win without Trae. Trae is so good people watch him play, instead of play with him. It's not Traes fault that the team started to play well without him. Their offense is worse, but they started to play team defense. I wish these people would actually watch the Hawks.

Trae is a one way player. Dejounte isnt. You can see the difference when murray has the ball in his hands and agressive. Guy was the nost underrated player in the league on the spurs

I just don’t think that trae and Murray are gonna work

Feel like this is similar to Jaylen Brown & Jason Tatum when they both got paired together in the initial stages

Dont split them that would be stupid they just need to be healthy they can do some in the playoff

Trae is & has been the overall statistical leader in many categories. NOW, Trae is unselfish enough to know he doesn't have to do as much anymore. So,they'll play better as they get ready for the playoffs. Murray's playing great at nearly 2 years. Now without Trae doesn't mean they can't win together. Or that they should get rid of them. Hawks are building a competitive team that includes the remarkable Jalen Johnson & the (buzzer beater) DM5. Along with Bogi & other hungry guys. They're beginning to become a young exciting team. The Hawks are not swayed by criticism & rumors from bobble heads who don't watch or like the hawks anyway. Yet want them to trade away their best talent for unproven picks & unwanted players. IT'S FUNNY HOW RUMOURS PERSIST. The Hawks aren't trading them and getting fleeced to become a worst team. The goal is to get better & make the team deeper. And compete in the playoffs. People want to see them lose & trade Trae, Murray or Bogi to another team. That's not how you build a winning team. The Hawks are a young team thats better than their record shows. No need to trade their best guys. Go Hawks

As a Spurs fan I will take Trae to be a highly talented caliber role player for Wemby.

PREACH Zach!!

Philly?

This is absolutely a disrepect on trae 🤦‍♂️ and for me it is not even a debate just because he has lead the team for a moment makes him better lmao

So I'm gonna say something that might strike some people. Nola needs a real point guard, and a rim running/defending center. Nola has a bunch of wings who would be great with trae. Nola needs to start trae murphy and pay him. They have way too many good wings already. What if Nola can give up brandon Ingram, jonas or nance and a pick or 2 for trae young and capela. Now atlanta can pay onyeka and move murray to the 1. I think this actually works for both teams. Nola is one of the teams that can protect trae. Also, atlanta doesn't have to blow it up. If they were to blow it up then trading with SA is the move because they own ATL's picks.

Trae Young is a hell of an offensive player but probably the worst defensive player in the league. He reminds me of Damian Lillard who is also a terrible defender. You need 4 really good defenders around him at all times but I don´t see ATL pulling that off any time soon so yea trade him and rebuild. I also think he can´t be the #1 option on a championship team since he does get cold at times

Tbh or trae changes how he plans. If he became less ball dominant and would run around the court it could work but i do think its time to trade him which might be best for him anyway

If you want the numbers broken down: • they play better defense w/o Trey • theyve won at a higher % without him • Murray scores more • Murray assists improve by +80% • +2 wins without/ -7 with him Its also variables. Was the latter part of the schedule, less difficult. Also, were there any important injuries. Is Trey defense +12 pts bad when he plays .. thats horrible. Either way, you make it work. If Trey goes he needs a good defense to back him up:

Trae is San Antonio bound anyway

Trae adds VERY little and never has. When he's hot shooting (usually cold 2x as many games as hot) he's electric....on offense. He's NEVER adding anything on defense, just taking away. He's short, he tends to loaf on D when his offense isn't running hot. Maybe its not his fault, he really shouldn't have been a lottery pick. HE would be best served as a 6th man, instant-offense, on a good, top 8 NBA team. HE shouldn't be a starter or at least not a player that averages more than 20 minutes. Trade Trae for whatever you can get. His trade value will be much lower than some glowing proposals due to that massive contract AND the not-so-secret issue of bottom-of-the-league defensive abilties. The Hawks will have to take back a bad or sizeable contract or two, hopefully just a year or two remaining. If they're smart, they'll find a good backup 3 and D (solid at both) wing not quite living up to he contract. Trade Trae, improve cap situation, improve defesne MIGHTILY and get far more consistent on offense (much less HOT, COLD, COLD, COLD, HOT, COLD, COLD games strung together) without Trae. If the Hawks don't trade Trae, they're mailing it in to be mediocre for years to come. Let some other team find a better fit for his limited skillsets and size limitations.

Trae x Wemby 🔥

Whoever gets wemby as teammates will be better

Well I mean Trae Young is basically inefficient trash who gives up 2 baskets for every one he makes so of course they should trade him 😂

The team is literally 12-12 without Trae Young.

Why everyone keep saying to trade Trae to the Spurs? If anything trade Dejounte back to the Spurs.

Maybe instead of splitting the two up. Maybe let dejounte run point and trae would be the sg, or keep them at their respective positions and just let dejounte be the primary ballhandler

Not a hawks fan but I think they should trade away trae in my opinion .

I don’t want to see my Spurs give up so much for Trea Young. Send him somewhere else please

i think the hawks have been trying to trade trae for a while now but he doesnt have the value they are trying to get from other teams.

Trae young is gonna end up like a dominique wilkins or bernard king where people will talk about how "underrated" and "forgotten" they were when in reality they didnt win because of their shortcomings. Tho in traes defence at least hes clutch. King and wilkins wouldnt make the league nowadays

In my opinion it’s time for Trae You g to spread his wings somewhere else. It would be best for his career,

Atlanta Hawks Bench point guard Kobe Bufkin Shooting guard Vit krejci Small forward Jonathan Isaac power Forward Mouhamed Gueye Center James Wiseman

Do it and Atlanta will never make the playoffs again.

Trae is perfect for Spurs where they need a good point guard to support Wemby

They need more time to gel

trae young took the hawks to the conference finals just three years ago, he has been and should remain the franchise player. dejounte is a great player too, but when your two best players essentially play the same position it rarely works. the hawks should trade him asap while his value is high for a high quality wing player, think michael porter jr esque. and it seems like the media is really trying to push trae out and i’m not entirely sure why.

Trae Young to the Orlando Magic! Franz Suggs Trae Paulo Would be killer!

Hell no but him and murray cant be in the same backcourt anymore thats a fact 💯

These talking heads haven't seen 3 whole Hawks game. Trae and DJ play well together. The problem for the Hawks have been the frontline defense and shot making. Trae is doubled and tripled almost every night especially at the end of games. I can't tell you how many open non contested shots I've seen missed. CC refuse to shoot beyond 3 feet and is a liability on offense. For the last couple of weeks these guys have been ballin with the likes of Vit Garrison Bruno and Wesly Matthews. They're playing defense and making shots and thats it. I watch or listen to them whenever they play.

Spurs have all the assets to get Trae this summer. Trae, vassel, risacher, sochan and wemby would be playoff bound

If I'm Trae I want out at this point. I can't believe that the hawks and media are disrespecting the man who won them their first ECF game in franchise history with Bogdan Bogdanovic as his 2nd best player. Yes he's not great on defense, many guys his size aren't. But you know what he is? A special offensive player who hasn't had a player that's complemented his skillset at all in his entire career. Naw give this man Wemby, see what happens. I guarantee you, the moment you put Trae on the market, close to every team will be calling.

It's time to trade Trae young in exchange of a star power forward.

Trae took them to the eastern conference finals few years back, disappointing Philadelphia Sixers.

The Hawks should rebuild trade Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Wesley Matthews, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey, Bruno Fernando, Clint Capella to the Lakers for D'Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood-Schifino, Austin Reaves, Max Christie, Maxwell Lewis, Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood, Colin Castleton

I'm from ATL. ATL's ownership doesn't want to "pay for or put together a true contending team." You can't have a 30 year lackluster HISTORY in a city every NBA player loves and has a house in unless it's intentional you don't wan't to payforTwo SUPERSTAR FRANCHISE PLAYERS IN THEIR PRIME that you traded for and surrounded them with HELP. Look at the 30 year legacy. Our deep runs with HOrford back in the day were by accident and we had a great coach in Bud. ATL ownership prefers to trade for mediocre players that demand nothing. And no, Trae was NEVER going to get us to the FINALS. HOw much money we pay 6th man Danny Manning sorry self? How much we pay 6th man Joe Johnson? Waay too much. Look at the history.

Can Zac Lowe speak without screaming?

Bring Trae on to the Spurs please for he can feed Wemby 🙏🏼

How about get a real center and some legitimate front court help.. this is the dumbest chit ever .. you can tell non of these people really watch the hawks 😅

One of them got to go

Keep Young. Trade Murray

Hawks hit more game winners without Trae Young.

Keep dem together

Trae Young to Miami.

trade both player & do a proper rebuild

Murray couldn’t do anything with spurs by himself. Go ahead and get rid of young idiots. Build around young. The first thing y’all do is trade for a star pg in Murray to go with your already star pg in young. Atlanta failed them. Y’all traded Collins as well. Y’all are injured. Stick it out and keep helping your stars or trade Murray cuz young is better in my eyes. They should be able to sign people next year right?

it's the little mice trae experiment that should end.

Trae or murray needs wemby

Trae Young the only player ive ever seen get Crowned because one fluke Playoff Run .. kids not that Good .. takes terrible shots plays 0 defense

Stop I can’t take it… I’m agreeing with Perkins and I don’t like it xD

Dude it's been 10 games and they are 2 games above .500 mostly playing teams who are playing all backups. Dejaunte had two whole years running a team in San Antonio and they never made the playoffs.

I’d trade Trae Young to the Spurs for a boat load of picks, let Murray run the show in Atlanta and pair up Trae and Victor, those picks could be very helpful to build around a solid Guard in Murray

I think dejounte murray is overrated as hell! Trading trae young is the dumbest thing you could do!

SHAME on YOU. You could say the same thing about Sengun in Houston. We all know Trae is very insecure (downright emasculated) due to his size, you don't need to compare him to a cooler, taller, handsomer, more talented player.

Perkins is hard to follow

Trade him for Draymond Green!!!

The spurs. Hawks get their picks back, wemby gets his PG.

Trade em where high usage no defense players don't like playing wit him he selfish he's a coach killer

Trade Trae! Wish him the best, but his time is up!

trust me no one in SA wants trae young lmao

The rest of the roster needs help! Lmfaooo it ain’t trae fault .

Here we go with the nonsense chatter again. Predictable as ever.

Trade trae young please

Trade em to the spurs

No d trae

Karl Anthony Towns for Trae seems fair

Trae Young is so overrated, Murray is a bigger and better player..plus Murray was in San Antonio already..

Oh yes, trade their superstar point guard who just turned 25 😂😂😂. I genuinely hope Trae gets out of there. People have no clue how good he really is.

Murray is garbage

Perk is illiterate A f 😊

That woman is spewing nonsense. "They are 10th in the east"- yeah because of how bad they were before. "Could be schedule" - they just beat Celtics twice and the Clippers. "Got people back from injury" - huh? who they are down Johnson, Okangwu and Bay. They haven't gotten anyone back. They can't play defense with Trae on the floor. They will never improve that. Get rid of him.

🤔 Wemby would change Trae's entire career. Trae's biggest problem is that he adds absolutely nothing on defence and is one of the smallest players in the league. If he landed on the same team as potentially the greatest defensive player ever, that would change everything for him. He would literally just jack up lobs all day, probably get the most assists in NBA history, and end up being called a Top 10 All-Time PG when it's all over. Trae needs Wemby more than Wemby needs him, but that duo would dominate basketball for 15 years. They cancel out each other's weaknesses. Add some big wings to that meal and you're eating every night.
