Like Trump you are the King of deflectors....who got rid of Fultz me? Again you Moron if Embiid would have not recovered from his back injury...I'm correct. Carmelo washed up myself and 29 NBA GM's think so.Boylen has yet to be determined.In my opinion Doc isn't .Time wise zI was wrong on Kareem all time worse. Parker I was wrong .Now a question since I don't have an original though who in the fucks were these?

If your opinions are not validated by facts (none of these are) then the opinion is wrong and hence invalid.

For the record (you are never actually concerned about such things) i said that Brand was wrong for trading him and that it would come back to haunt him.

I said this even as idiots like you were proclaiming the kid to be the "biggest bust in history". You were making such declarative statements even as his birth certificate said that he wasn't old enough to buy liquor at the local Alco's.

Hey Walt when do you have Trae making the playoffs? Stat padding (At least in your idiotic opinion) Melo made the playoffs the first 9 years of his career.

When will the great Trae make it?

Chicago's very own Kendrick Nunn put 36 pts up on bullfighter Trae Young tonight.

Coach Pierce cost ATL the game tonight. Took Trae out for a defensive possession up 6 with under a minute. They get scored on and instead of calling a time out to get Trae back in the game (they had 2 TOs) they let it run and ATL couldn't even get a shot off. MIA came down and scored again to tie the game.

Solid game for Trae. 21/9. Local kid Kendrick Nunn went off for Miami, but Trae wasn't guarding him.

D'Andre Hunter will be the star on that team. Even Reddish looked good last night. He's lost some weight and looks in good shape. Tall quick and has nice moves around the hoop. They have a solid three guys to build around.

Depends if the powers that be demands effort on both ends.

I think both of those guys will develop into solid two way players. I actually like Reddish's game and upside but being unproductive in college was a bit of red flag.

Young will never be anything other than a terrible defender. Even if he put forth the effort his small stature and lack of foot speed will always serve as impediments

_________________

There's plenty of guys to build around. They have 5 guys I like, all 23 and younger. But you can't give up 120 a game and you can't be dead last in shooting 3s. This is something that needs to be addressed now, not in the future. Chucking and dodging is not a winning culture.

Watching ATL actually makes me depressed. They are one of the worst teams and their future looks way more promising than the Bulls'

They're really not that far away from having a good team and a much better defense. Hunter and Reddish were great additions to the team defense. Collins and Young are both improving in that area. All they need is a rim protecting center and the team will be much better. Right now they have no one back there to clean up the mess when someone gets beat to the hoop.

Collins
Hunter/Reddish
Trae
Huerter


That's as solid a young core as you can get. They just need that one missing piece in the middle to tie it all together.

_________________

And I'll keep b.itching until they act like this is the NBA and not a Y pickup game. I understand completely what their ceiling is. But there's always a ladder involved and steps up the ladder. All of them want to jump straight to the 4th step. It doesn't work that way.

They are wasting valuable time playing how they are playing. Chucking and dodging equals 6-18.

They aren't that close to being much of anything. If Trae (ostensibly their best player) was truly impactful they'd have more than 6 wins. Luka doesn't have much around him and his team will be 5th or 6th in a tough conf. That is what impact happens to be.

Trae can't guard a potted plant. That isn't going to change anytime soon. If he needs a team full of All Stars around him in order to get them to the playoffs then how good can he actually be?


Not only do they lose. They get blasted quite a bit and have since he has been on the roster. Not only is his defense bad but so is his shot selection. He chucks 4-5 30 foot shots a game. How can you win with him doing that?

Same can be said for when Trae poops the bed vs the Bulls(TWICE NOW), both you and your butt buddy kegels.

16. Trae Young, Hawks

Highest rank: 7
Lowest rank: NR
28.4 points, 8.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 54.3 eFG%, -7.7 net rating

Kevin O’Connor: Young is a pick-and-roll prodigy. As a rookie, he established himself as one of the game’s best playmakers by conning opponents with his tight handle and using the separation to throw bull’s-eye passes. Now as a sophomore, Young is showing his high-powered scoring upside. Of Young’s 28.4 points per game, 14.5 come as the ball handler in the pick-and-roll, according to Synergy Sports. He’s scoring with excellent efficiency at high volume, in part because of one move that he’s mastered: the right-to-left crossover.

Young rejects screens by crossing the ball over to his left more than anyone in the NBA. In total, he’s dribbled away from the pick 73 times this season, per Synergy; he did so 96 times in 81 games last season. The closest player to that total this season is Lou Williams, with 55. It’s a new trick in Young’s book that’s helped make him one of the game’s best point guards at just 21 years old. You can bet he’ll keep adding more and more in the years to come. The Ringer

I could care less.

Markelle's Real Plus/Minus is 0.79. It's real bad. Puts him 37th of point guards.

Here's the list

30/7/7 in a tight game vs Lakers last night. Another good night for the all star in waiting.

Help is coming soon. John Collins suspension is over soon, he's back 12/23.


It will be great to get Jabari out of the starting lineup. He's pretty terrible in a starting role.
