How do you feel about the Hawks' decision to trade Dejounte Murray? Was it the right move?

[@youngbluski]

Valid. It didn't move the needle enough, on top of it hindered Trae's ability to really run the O

[@Daddy-hc7jn]

I'm so stoked as a pels fan. I love his game. Projection 👇 47FG/81FT 2.7 3PM 6 RBD 8.2 AST 1.5 STL 0.4 BLK 24.5 PTS

[@ANTSPOLDOJA]

Murray and Young are almost equal in terms of fantasy and also real life basketball. They have different qualities. I still draft Young over Murray but not big difference. Trade maybe works if Bogdanovic will play starting SG. Daniels is garbage, I saw how badly he played in Olympics. Also Jalen Johnson is overrated. Number 27 in Yahoo rank, is it a joke?

In a 10 team H2 H9 cat league is it crazy to pick Trae Young over Tatum or embiid?

[@wemba]

Points/assists/three point %/free throws I think he tops Tatum and Embiid. Other cats he’s horrible in, so it’s mostly a toss up. I’d still take embiid over him, but could be worth drafting over Tatum

[@ANTSPOLDOJA]

I can't understand your starting five. Bogdanovic not starting? Capela probably over Okongwu also.

[@4ktkaram395]

Bogi should come off the bench

Dear Josh, I wanted to bring to your urgent attention that when double banging the subscribe button - it caused me to unsubscribe. You may wish to consider asking viewers to "bang oddly" or better yet "bang N numbers of times where N divided by two is not a whole number". Quite catchy if I do say so myself.

[@eddiesprouse2935]

Or stop with the double bang requests altogether. I find it annoying.

Josh why do you have such a hard on for okongwu. He’s an undersized center that doesn’t do anything particularly well
