The Official NBA Thread: PLAYOFFS

Atlanta is team full of dudes that need a change of scenery

Hawks are getting blown up this offseason

Not having Jalen Johnson tonight hurt. He's a stud. I'd go with Murray and Johnson as the core and get decent compensation for Trae via trade. Hunter and Capela are dead weight.

Been a tough couple years as a Bulls fan but Coby has been a lot of fun to watch grow this year. He was getting better almost every night for 3 months and it felt like tonight stamped it. Dude puts in the work and is a good teammate. Hope they keep him around for the long haul.

Not a great performance by the best offensive player in the league.

Classic Kyle Lowry, little things game last night.

It all adds up.

Classic Kyle Lowry, little things game last night.

It all adds up.

Rozier was obviously out, but I said right when the trade was happening that they’d miss the little (annoying) things that Lowry does. His regular season numbers and night-in-night-out play weren’t going to reflect it, but was always a big part of what allowed them to play like they do come playoff time.

Don’t think the team has the same edge without him.

what if Jimmy Butler just took the open layup instead of trying to grift

For sure a offseason of decisions to be made but I’m not choosing Murray over Trae. Only people I wanna see on this team next season is Trae Johnson and okonwgu everyone else can be shuffled.

Hawks are a fringe play-in team at best while playing Trash Ball. Gotta just move him for the best possible package and move on. Jalen not gonna develop how you want him to alongside him.

Playing a more team oriented style with better ball movement and defense is obviously the way to go.

 

[pmatic]

Hawks probably get more for Trae, so they should/can trade him and showcase Dejounte for a future trade.

'Faking/Grifting' though

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Just send Trae to SAS before Bron gets any ideas.

Was looking forward to see if Playoff Jimmy had anything this year. Sucks.

I understand the best possible package part but Trae and Jalen’s games compliment each other very well but Murray and Jalen’s don’t. Keeping Murray’s would not be good for Jalen’s development. If we trade Trae him and Murray should both be moved but keeping just Murray would put us in a worse version of the scenario you described. We not gonna have better ball movement with him at the point
