Will be interesting to compare him and Clingan when they are all available. Pish posh. Why are we even talking about these .... these names?

Carmine Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Trading Trae only makes sense if we do it w/ the Spurs as they own our picks. I will infer that he is committed to staying in Atlanta since Trae signed with CAA Sports and dropped Klutch. Murray is 100% gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Afro Posted May 13 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13 In addition to the FT% being 71%, while also listening to the Locked on Hawks podcast, Brian Schröder mentioned he's very good at not fouling as well. Good FT%(for a big), doesn't foul, freaky defender. Yeah, that'll do pig. That'll do. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good FT%(for a big), doesn't foul, freaky defender. Yeah, that'll do pig. That'll do. So the 'not fouling' thing can cut both ways. Is he simply not physical? Is that why one of his weaknesses is defensive boarding? I'm sold, but I don't want no sawfty, so hopefully that's not the case. I know hotSupes thinks that's a problem. I say go get me a Bobby Portis to tenderize him in practice, toughen him up. And feed him some grits, eggs, and snausages instead of them croissants. Put him on that Diaw diet(sic) so he can come back swole. We can pronounce that 'swo-lay'. Ya know, make it French. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good FT%(for a big), doesn't foul, freaky defender. Yeah, that'll do pig. That'll do. He's gotta be the pick. His strengths are exactly what the Hawks weaknesses are. By all accounts, he fits with Trae very well. He's the near consensus best player in this draft. I can't imagine any way he's NOT the pick. The team would have to be stupid to not pick him. Like complete idiots. Yeah.......there's no way the Hawks are picking him. We're probably taking the OTHER french dude. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff I've listened to said he was averaging more blocks than fouls for most of the year. Something like 3.6 blocks and 3.5 fouls per 36. I'm not sure how that's a bad thing. Doesn't make him soft. Clint doesn't foul much either and I don't consider him soft. Conversely, OO fouls all the time and I don't consider him a tough guy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schröder also made a point to say he's not great on the offensive boards, but he also did the whole "box out but let the guard lead the break" stuff on the other end. Said he was more of a Steven Adam's rebounder with Perth. I'll let you pick between Schröder and Supes lol, but he also said he's not sawft by any means. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Wretch Posted May 13 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 13 2 hours ago, REHawksFan said: Why does it have to mean anything? Why does he have to say anything? No one else has. JJ hasn't said anything. Bogi hasn't. DJ commented that it was going to be a crazy offseason but said nothing of the Hawks and the lottery. Why is it only an issue that Trae hasn't said anything? And why are we drawing conclusions from such? Listen dude... I need to be very clear and very explicit here because we love our polarizing conversations on the Squawk. There are people reading into this because they WANT Trae to unhappy/unsupportive. There are people who are assuming Trae doesn't want to rebuild and doesn't care about the pick. There are people who are linking this to all of the BS trade rumors and media hype. None of these things has me curious. On a scale of 1 - 10, my interest in any of that is -100. I know it's a crazy idea, but there can be more than just the binary school of thought that Trae does/doesn't want to be here. That said... There are a lot of logical reasons why Trae needs to make some kind of comment/reaction. We've never had the #1 pick before, it's a big deal, and his franchise is celebrating it like crazy over social media. We might also be looking at the very thing we've been pining for for years. It also sets up a ton of intrigue because we can also trade that pick and get him the help he desperately desires - that he has been vocal about for many years now. I don't think I've drawn a definitive conclusion. I think I've said repeatedly that I don't know what it means - if it means anything at all. I certainly have made absolutely no mention of any named prospect in relation to Trae and how he feels. It's a big moment for Atlanta sports, beyond that for the franchise. The organization is selling it all over social media and the face of the franchise, who always has something to say, got nothing? There is something to this. It could be something as small as Trae doesn't want to send the wrong message or the Hawks and Trae talking it out. It could be as big as the front office asking the team not to give the rumor mill any fuel prior to the draft. I can think of a billion reasons why he hasn't said anything. None of those reasons are, "It's not necessary for him to comment/react." I find it interesting that he hasn't. Nothing more. Nothing less.

No need to push this agenda when we were never taking him and now absolutely won’t even sniff him he has a very good day showing off his mobility and touch at that size. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
