Getting a future 1st rounder from Dallas (who will continue to suck, as will we) in the deal.

I'm good with it. Get a couple of high picks next year and a pretty good player in Young. I wasn't as high on Doncic as many were. I actually wanted Jackson.

No pick here was going to salvage this season.

Next year's draft sucks though. After Barrett it's a ton of meh prospects. This is a very good draft and just getting Trae Young is a big miss.

I don't think the gap between Doncic and Young is nearly as big as people are making it out to be. I think both have about a 30% shot of turning into a really good player.

Young' also not going to be the only player we get tonight, we've got another move or two here.

The amount of hate this kid gets before he even plays a minute will be comical. This is why we're called the worst fanbase in the league

A pick that'll be widely questioned by everyone as perhaps historically bad isn't the problem, the fan base who is disappointed about it is?

I agree. Got the picks to do it, and if we could unload the Bazemore contract, that would be a nice bonus.

We tore down a team that actually had a couple pieces and tanked in order to get a protected pick and a slim chance at a Steph Curry clone

You're nuts if you don't think this is going to get mega scrutiny (both in and outside of ATL).

If you get TY, MPJ, offload Baze or Schroeder...and possibly get 4 of the top 11 picks next year? Sign me up.

Yea Schroeder is gone. TY plus another pick here in the first.... plus a future first rounder next year from Dallas. They gotta rebuild, isn’t the best way how?

If you think Trae Young was the sole goal of this rebuild, you pay about as much attention as I expected. Why do you think we're trying to get future 1st round picks? This is clearly the long play because Schlenk doesn't think Doncic is the superstar social media is making him out to be, and I agree with that.

Oh, I agree because our media and fanbase are largely dipshits who don't care about basketball.
