As it should be!

the young era needs to end!

Build around jj & the #1 pick!

[Hawkmoor]

The Hawks are most likely drafting either Sarr, Clingan or Risacher.  I'm more curious as to whether they are gonna trade Trae or DJ.

Their roster is trash. I only like Deni and Coulibaly, who they aren't moving, so a pick. What about #2 and their 2025 pick? With Sarr, they're still trash next season, so the pick is lottery.

I'll say this, if Quinn has bought into a full on rebuild, that would be because he changed his mind and felt JJ is going to be some very special player we could pull this off with, that would be big surprise and change of direction.

There is zero chance they would do that deal lol.

But if he believes that JJ is the special player to build around, wouldn't having Trae with him be the start of a star duo to begin with?

Then the Hawks get Sarr and half this board wins.

Before I say this, please understand I'm president of the JJ fan club.

But imagine watching JJ struggle to stay healthy, and have remaining questions game-wise, and thinking he's a centerpiece to a franchise.

Cmon folks

Yeah let's rebuild and get a bunch of young guys.  25 and younger with elite scoring and passing should be our target.   Where should we start?

Not unless the team decides they want to reset and be more balanced because they don't feel they can get enough defensive ability with JJ and Trae together,  of we can't get the players we need to build around Trae the. Maybe they said fuckit it's just too difficult. Still would be a 180 on quins part, the package for Trae would also have to be super tempting.

I dont know what people think they're seeing sometimes.

Familiarity absolutely has bred contempt here.

Do people not remember what it was like when Kenny (the snake) Norman was our best player?  Do they wanna go back to that?

I don't know man, any team with a player with a player averaging over 25 & 10 would never just let him go. Who would be dumb enough to let that player walk out the door?

Same people who forget it wasn't Al Horford that helped us remake the playoffs. It was Mike Bibby???

Thanks for taking the L and reading it.  If the article doesn't say it, (a) what does it say and (b) why are people posting the twit and acting like that's what the 'story' is?

We've already seen an ECF team built around Trae, so the the narrative it can't be done is bullshit.
