[@jaredhamby7674]

Brad you are truly one of the hardest working guys in the space, thanks for the consistent content man

[@ameadors11]

The man. Thanks, Brad.

[@snekposts]

Don't think people around the league realize how good Bogi's stats were last year (off the bench): 16.9 PTS, 3.4 REB, 3.1 AST

[@LockedOnHawks]

Yep!

[@coloredbandit]

He Should’ve won 6MOTY smh

[@StarFan62]

So, should he start or keep coming off the bench at the two. I'm thinking his is the starter to begin the season.

[@jasonbrunson4797]

I support letting Bey go. The situation is unfortunate but it is what we needed given he's not been as good as we'd hoped and now is out for atleast the coming season. It will take time once he returns to even get back to form.

[@shonuf5152]

And trading Capela is long overdue.

[@millennial953]

Hawks literally have 4 undersized centers. I’d love a trade for Walker Kessler or Brook Lopez. Also, maybe they can get someone like KCP in free agency

[@mef2theman]

Kessler, Allen, or even Claxton would be solid 5's for us

[@MHO999999]

They do need some size on the frontline.

[@koolsmoothfan]

@@mef2theman allen would be nice, I hear he might want out of cleveland

[@mef2theman]

@@koolsmoothfan Straight up Allen & Okoro or another shooter for Hunter & CC wouldn't be the worse thing tbh 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@EastAtlantaGator]

I'm 50 years old and I am sick of the Atlanta hawks front office....EVERYONE KNOWS 1 player cannot do it..Every successful team has at least 3 all stars...at same time...The hawks thinks trey is all we need. Smh..obviously we need a center..Obviously we need a power forward...I'm ashamed..I'm tired of watching other teams when I live in greatest city Atlanta

[@stansherman3616]

Well stated sir !!!

[@abovehyperionfilms]

Was Murray going to help us win a title? Probably not. Get the assets and stop wasting time.

[@mef2theman]

That part - we've seen the peak of Dejountrae ball and it likely wasn't going to bringing us a chip anytime soon

[@KevinJames-sd4qj]

And you think Trae is bringing one? Hardly

[@rodneywilliams1300]

​@@KevinJames-sd4qjTrae led this team to a conference finals with medioce talent. Dejounte could not even lead his team to the playoffs. So yes, Trae has a much better chance.

[@koolsmoothfan]

@@rodneywilliams1300 the hawks did not win the play in game because trae had a bad game. He shot 4 for 12 from the floor and had 6 turnovers. Murray had 30 pts, 7 dimes and 7 rebounds. If trae is a superstar then he should have had a much better game

[@王蟲-v4f]

​@@koolsmoothfan I was watching the game. I don't think any of the other players could have kept up with Young and Murray in that game.

[@jasonbrunson4797]

Brad you do a great job sir! Just found you a few days before the draft. Appreciate your dedication to bring us Hawks news in a league that has historically overlooked us. Nobody ever agrees 100% but I do see your points... and your abit more optimistic than I am. I'll admit this ownership has jaded me since the Murray gain and Travis departure. Kudos to you sir!😎

[@StarFan62]

Brad is the best. Been enjoying him for years. Knows Braves too.

[@mirisarawak1931]

hawks is in cheap mega sale now...........black Friday in Altanta

[@hillhillman3909]

I'm telling you now, Dyson and Risacher are elite defenders and going to be REAL .. but if we can get Wiseman/ Kessler and Lavine then our starting 5 will be 💯

[@vonkaiser3]

We now have Aaron McKee, Eric Snow, and Mutumbo. Might as well bring Larry Brown. Clearly building a 1man show like the A.I. 76ers.

[@MarleyB]

I said something similar to this

[@Steven.Patrick]

@@MarleyBwho is Motumbo? Aging Clint? Little O?

[@Oldschool811]

That failed and we clearly don't have a mutombo

[@vonkaiser3]

@Steven.Patrick if we stack the old man on top of the young fresh short guy. 🤷🏾

[@seki0123]

Who else should Hawks go for in the trade? FO said they weren’t done.

[@Dirty_Bird_xx]

Walker Kessler

[@vonkaiser3]

Wiseman

[@王蟲-v4f]

I miss Collins😢

[@Shepard-D_Rose]

I think it was a good even deal, DD is the a good defensive guard/wing. Hawks are still making moves, Zachh needed some touches to open up for him anyway. Its like ppl keep forgetting we have the #1 pick who has to touch the ball at some point this season.

[@mef2theman]

Plus we have another microwave sg|pg ready to take the next step in Kobe Bufkin

[@nathanielbailey3049]

The Hawks needed and still need a big at center 7ft.+, other than that it really doesn't matter what they do everyone keep saying Trae he doesn't play defense well now on the other hand DJ I think made the team better TY don't have a on off switch either he's on or off with bad defense

[@Carl_NoWinslow]

Brad you're not tired?? 😂😂 Thanks for all of the great coverage of the draft. Gonna be a fun summer hopefully.

[@LockedOnHawks]

Definitely tired lol but tis the season!

[@4ktkaram395]

Capela? 😂😂😂😂 he better be off the team

[@afroandrew816]

It wasn’t a “win now”move it was a Nick Ressler screwed us over move. Our owner needs to stop sticking his nose where it don’t belong. I’m sick of our Front office screwing our franchise over. We have been a franchise since 1946 and have 1 championship. This is ATLANTA we have too big of a market to be this consistently bad it’s PATHETIC. Fans need to band together and speak up instead they say nothing cuz we got Trae( SO WHAT) Ressler spent ALL THIS MONEY FOR A STADIUM UPGRADE FOR WHAT. To once again be a mediocre team with an ignorant front office that has no clue how to build a championship team. It’s sad that we’ve become the laughing stock of the nba and will continue to be if we don’t make major changes

[@shonuf5152]

The owner's SON needs to stop sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. And dad needs to put his foot down and let the people he hired to handle personnel decisions do their job.

[@William_Stephens]

Trae young is incredibly undervalued which is why there is no way we should trade him. He needs to get a mikel type hull

[@Oldschool811]

Undervalued!!! poor shooter, turnover machine, the worst defender in the league, and a career 42 win % sounds kinda mid 😅😅😅😅😅

[@bobbysmith9082]

I know this most likely impossible what you think about them trying to make a swing a PG13 or klay?

[@LockedOnHawks]

PG is all but impossible. Klay would be a little easier but also incredibly unlikely

[@HighlightReelFactory]

When Ben Simmons left Philly I thought he'd be a great fit for Trae. Dyson Daniels can provide some similar things on defense and maybe more offense

[@mef2theman]

Not the worst player comparison tbh

[@Steven.Patrick]

Simmons doesn’t seem to want to play. He needs to bulk up a little and move to C. Use his passing and ball handle to be elite again.

[@vonkaiser3]

Whats the difference between Dan Dyson and Mat Thybulle's game?

[@mef2theman]

Dyson has a better jumper and all-around offensive game compared to Thybulle. He also can create for others as a passer and seemingly can process on both ends faster.

[@vonkaiser3]

@@mef2theman 👍🏾 cool. Appreciate the insight.

[@王蟲-v4f]

I think he probably has good off-ball movement as well.

[@shonuf5152]

Thy is a terrific defensive player. I wanted the Hawks to draft him.

[@Edo9River]

BRAD! if you ever want MORE praise for having to answer some of the people who dont bother to read your previous videos , as though they[re paying something for your attention.. Best regards to your more intelligent commenters

[@clampa224]

I would like to see Daniels start but I want bogi to close out games with trae

[@jamessinkfield]

Bogdan can be the starting PG and CC is the best C in the NBA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chirocket4791]

Don't see Daniels as a starter. Bog has started before with Trae.

[@ameadors11]

Daniels could start while Bogi might be more likely to finish games. They seem to be counting on Bogi, Daniels, and Bufkin to replace DJ’s minutes.

[@inpursuitofexcellence750]

So the Heat are looking to trade for Trae Young? It’s all over Twitter and KZbin. That would be insane.

[@LockedOnHawks]

No actual reporting on that FWIW

[@MICKEY4356]

Are the Hawks trying to win? 🏀

[@mef2theman]

They're trying to build around Trae, who wants to win - so yes?

[@KevinJames-sd4qj]

Sorry this team is not winning anytime soon with Trae. He's gonna want out, and no stars want to come to the Atl to play with him. Now he needs support players that are gonna play defense to cover his short comings in that area but do we forget these players have egos too. Why play hard defense only for Trae to come down the court and jack up a 30 footer. He's on his 3rd coach, 2nd General manager (not his fault fot that I guess), u got rid of Collins, , and now DJ whom i heard Qinn Smyder liked a lot. What's been the constant here? Trae and losing. But I guess some podcasters and fans care more about entertainment than winning.

[@koolsmoothfan]

@@KevinJames-sd4qj bingo preach. Trae numbers were down for a superstar. He shot 43% from the floor and 37 % from 3 bad numbers for a superstar. He needs to improve his shot selection and stop jacking up ill-advised shots. Not much benefit if you score 32 pts but took 22 shots to get it. Thats part of the reason why the hawks are not winning

[@Elboogie404]

We have seen the games man. Trae is inefficient.

[@jbwuzhere6819]

Bill Russell was also inefficient.

[@LockedOnHawks]

My advice: Stop prioritizing field goal percentage. No one in the league does. Use true shooting or at least effective FG.

[@jbwuzhere6819]

@@LockedOnHawks Tell 'em again Brad!

[@KevinJames-sd4qj]

Trae is a great entertainer. And that's what fans pay for..winning doesn't matter. How about prioritizing winning and team play

[@jbwuzhere6819]

@@KevinJames-sd4qj Who has the Atlanta Hawks ever won with? Dominique? Joe Johnson? Paul Milsap? NOBODY that's who. Poorly run organization with unstable, frugal ownership. They don't prioritize winning either.

[@jasonbrunson4797]

I have the sinking feeling Trae's being dealt to SA to recoup some of our mortgaged assets back.😔

[@decarltonhuston7883]

Two hot takes is who is going to be the number 2 option and center other than that we might be good

[@王蟲-v4f]

Is a nance no good?

[@Dirty_Bird_xx]

Just wait until you actually see Dejounte play for the Pels, celebrate now because you in for a rude awakening 😂 Under several metrics he was a worse defender than Trae Young last year. Oh and be ready to watch him turn the ball over with lazy passes and spam contested midrange jumpers all game

[@yungcapsule9218]

We really got weak ahh spurs and pelicans fans coming for us fuck the NBA shit rigged anyway they bout to give boston 3 more rings watch. The racist sports town will get the rest of the championships while the Black Mecca of America(Atlanta)suffers. This shit sucks Malcolm X would slap the DOG shii out of Adam Silver for this bullshit ahh script

[@devinmiller1638]

Yeah, y'all got a pg that looks at open players but chose to shoot a contested mid range. I like him, but his hesitation to pass to players was frustrating.
