Sure.

Participation trophy time

You mean, we've been in the movie, it always end the same way.

He can be a spot shooter off the bench in a pinch. Regular rotation? Unclear.

Agreed. Find other ways to impact the game. He's done some of that in spurts in running the team in lieu of shooting. He just can't hang his head when shots don't fall.

It really shouldn't be defended but.........you'll hear it's SL...and look at everybody else. I don't care about anybody else. This has to work for the Hawks and I'm praying it does but so far...I'm uncomfortable. I'm hoping for a better showing in Vegas.

Stats schmats - Trae has been underwhelming. At least the other guys gave you a decent glimpse of something before crashing back to earth. Yeah, I know...it's SL...but I'm still annoyed.

He'd better be. I thought he was being obtuse. Nice.

1st, he needs to stop shooting from 4 feet beyond the 3 pt line. And just slow down - stop rushing shots. He's pressing even more. Can he shoot from midrange?

riiiiight.

So you think he didn't want TO EXPLODE in summer league. C'mon man

Yep, plus Dennis was wirey, athletic, long wignspan. He could get whereever he wanted on the floor. And he wasn't AFRAID. Trae looks, how the kids say...shook.

You don't have baby fat....just, you know...fat.

I get the 'trade Dennis' cries blah blah blah.....but I'm going to be really annoyed if like you say we trade him for peanuts. That's just not good asset management, with all his issues Dennis is still an asset, he's not a Noah style salary dump. I've seen nothing from Trae that tells me he should be staring in a regular season NBA game. That's an excuse, most of the rooks are 19. John Collins was 19 and had many a WOW moments last year. I don't need Trae to be trying to win ROY in summer league, I just need him to not underwhelm and he has been UNDERWHELMING.

I know it's Summer League and it doesn't count but this is concerning - between Trae's play, Pierce's none coaching and Schlenk's roster construction - all I'm seeing is this on the floor Grizz, Jazz, Spurs all look like they are running some semblance of a system - we aren't. The one consistent play I've seen is the double screen action at the top of the key. Everything else is meh.

I hope Bremby is cleared to plsy in Veaga SL, this roster

Dallas is not responsible for the buyout, Doncic is. I don't know the details of his contract wether it has a set buyout amout or if it has to be negotiated. Dallas as a team can only contribute a small portion of the buyout, Doncic is responsible for the rest.

Doncic isn't playing because he hasn't completed his buyout with Real Madrid, he needs a FIBA clearance letter, a physical then sign his rookie contract before he can even practice.

Not impressed. I have no idea what kind of offense we are running if we're even running one.

Pierce needs to remove the 4pt line at the practice facilty.

And the beating of that dead horse does exactly what? Change the course of where we are? Nope. Repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....won't change squat and won't change anyone's mind.

I concur. It's just white noise now.

What's new, smh.
