[@tomloggins3523]

Hawks had a losing record with DJ and Trae playing together. DJ wasn’t an allstar, and SEVERELY overrated as a defender. It’s addition by subtraction. Needed lengthy POA defenders and we got one of the best at only 21. As well as two unprotected first round picks, one of which was the lakers who just barely made the playoffs and have an aging Lebron and nothing to trade. As well as Larry Nance Jr. a solid rotational big. Meanwhile the Pelicans got 3 players who all prefer shooting middys over any other shot. Good luck in that clogged paint Zion.

The hawks are so stupid they keep making stupid mistakes over and over again. One thing the hawks can guarantee you if you are fan of them is high blood pressure.

[@Aoclii]

As a Hawks fan absolutely disappointed in the team for this trade this is a rebuild type of trade and we can’t even fully rebuild to our best ability but what makes me hopeful is we have some really great young players on our team even on the bench I’m hopeful for our new rookies we got in the draft, Bufkin, Vit and Jalen Johnson

[@rgncal4872]

This is so sad, Reaves Rui and a protected 1st and a swap is a way better deal than nance Daniels and 2 trash 1sts

[@MrTerrell966]

NO it isnt.. lmao

[@rgncal4872]

@@MrTerrell966 those 1st are going to be like the 25 and 26th pick, a 28 swap from the lakers could be a top 10 pick, and a protected pick just means it’s not top 10, plus white boy Reaves on a 12 mil contract and Rui, yea that’s way fckn better, this trade got rated as the worst trade of the offseason, I’m speaking as a hawks fan bro

[@michaelcrespo2154]

I dont think its that bad of a trade. I know the star power doesnt seem to match. But it adddresses some of the major issues the hawks had moving forward. I loved watching murray play, but remember he was brought in to address defensive issues. He had a 119 defensive rating last year. Hawks still had a top 5 offense for most of the year. The issue isnt offense, its defense and both larry nance and dyson daniels have better defensive ratings. The hawks traded 3 first round picks to get murray. They got 2 first round picks and a former lottery pick with some upside. I wanted ingram but with the hawks getting ricasser dont really want to not let the number 1 pick play. Idk it isnt the best but its not a bad trade in my eyes

I mean I don’t like this trade, but Dyson daniels could fit in well for Atlanta especially getting minutes too, but this trade was shi because Larry is gonna get old plus he’s a decent role player and we didn’t get any valuable picks, I only like that we got a younger player from this trade but everything else was a waste we should’ve at least traded for Ingram and Daniel’s

[@sambailey2295]

right and the 26 year old player who led the hawks to a conference finals that they had a chance of winning up until he was injured would be 31 by the time they were even able to use those draft picks on inexperienced rookies that could easily be from the back end of the draft considering LA is the biggest free agent market in the nba, not to mention that none of d-lo, rui, or the unplayable jhs fit or upgrade the hawks, or have legitimate trade value. so why exactly would dlo and rui plus two far out future first round picks that could easily be close to second rounders by the time they convey be more advantageous than a fantastic perimeter defending wing with offensive upside who only needs a good shooting coach going to a team who needs POA defenders and has a fantastic coaching staff for player development specifically with shooting, not to mention that the lakers pick this upcoming season could be mid lottery in a very deep, stacked draft, that fits the timeline of the hawks's best players in trae young and jalen johnson? you sure that the lakers offer was better?

Just want to say Mike, as a Pelicans fan, I really appreciate the groundwork you put into this video. In defense of Dyson Daniels, he's one of those players you have to watch to really appreciate. His offensive game is raw, at best, but defensively this kid is a real stud. He's a legit defensive asset on the perimeter and I think Hawk fans will quickly become a fan of how hard he plays everyday. He'll need considerable work offensively, but he will contribute to the dirty work right away.

These clowns should go find a cave and hide because the biggest shock is coming where they trade Trae just to get outta the hole they put themselves in essentially rolling us back in time to John Collins rookie year. Wasted nearly a decade building and it only took 2 idiots 2 seasons to do it!!! Impessive, never underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!! Griffin was proven to stick in the league and 1st rnd pick 16 for 2nd rnd pick 44 in a "talent shallow" draft. Landry said we just had to have that pick....

You are vastly underrating how good Dyson Daniels is defensively, lol. Remember, we were a bottom 25 defense last year with Dejonte, so he obviously just isn't a fit here. We also get the Lakers 2025 pick in this trade and Larry is on an expiring. Based on who the hawks drafted, it seems they're really driving the defense thing home which is probably why they didn't want Brandon Ingram and instead went for Daniels a guy who they wanted in the past.

[@Greg-io1ip]

Fans get upset when they are in denial that their team has to rebuild. Trae makes too much to move, and he's still young enough to bring better fitting teammates. Murray probably wanted out to get paid better someplace not losing to the Celtics. Every team in the East needs to retool to challenge Celtics next season. Or the one after. Hawks knew it wasn't next season.
