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


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.

You're nuts if you don't think this is going to get mega scrutiny


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

Yet, he makes a trade most wouldn't, putting him out on a limb the majority of professionals in his position in the league wouldn't venture on to. It's a long play that will include a protected pick in a meager draft year and a potential boom/bust in TY.

The general consensus of the basketball world, not just Atlanta, is going to be that this was quite a risky move, so this is a pretty amusing conclusion.
