I used to be a big fan, watched all through the Iso Joe era, the 60 win magic year, and almost every game in Trae Young's first two years.

I applauded the the Capela trade, but it seems like no matter how many "promising" draft picks & free agents they sign, the end result is another crappy .500 season.

I haven't watched much this year, and I guess that I'm just salty after seeing tonight loss to a crappy Nets teams. But what would help this Hawks team get to 50 wins, yet alone contend for a title??

When is the last time the Hawks traded for or got a free agent top 20 player?

I think this is the answer to your question.

Joe Johnson in 2005 might be the best free agent signing in franchise history. That says a lot.

Other than Trae we haven't really stuck gold in the draft nor have we done that great in the FA market. We're not attractive enough to grab a superstar to go with Trae and in this day unless you have a LeBron you need more than one
