Obviously no longer an option, but Mikal Bridges on THIS team would be extremely good in my opinion

I for one would quite enjoy Lonzo Ball in Atlanta

@willisglen.bsky.social you’ve mentioned a few times that you expect a lot of big names to move this summer, who are a few names in that category?

The turnaround for these WNBA rookies from March Madness to "well here you go defend A'ja Wilson" is insane

Do I want a Giannis level talent on the #Hawks? Of course. Do I want to pay what it would cost? Less sure. Does Giannis fit the style of play that the Hawks have been building? Historically no…

The Hawks are interviewing a wide array of candidates, including Danny Ferry, for their president of basketball operations vacancy, per Zach Stein. Also on the list: Monte McNair, Calvin Booth, Shareef Abur-Rahim and ⁠Elton Brand

Atlanta's Dyson Daniels wins Most Improved Player with two-way play For his first 2 seasons, Daniels was fighting just to get run in a crowded New Orleans guard rotation. This summer he was traded to Atlanta, got a real opportunity and thrived. www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/atl...

Congrats to Dyson, WELL DESERVED

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Zacch deserved it

Postseason Pelle Larson minutes!

I want the NFL to levy consequences against this kid, but legally can they? He’s not an entity under their umbrella even if his dad is an employee

Competitive teams are riddled up and down with secondary creation

Zaccharie Risacher is like if Michael Porter Jr had basketball morals

What a shot by Jokic. So damn good!

Sometimes you look up and Jaden McDaniels has 45 points on 21/26 shooting

Mobley is undoubtedly deserving of DPOY honors. So is Dyson, which is why this is sad

Dyson Daniels officially finished 2nd in Defensive Player of the Year voting.

I think that if foul drawing is exaggerating contact that exists to bring the ref’s attention to it, or manipulating the defender into illegal position, it’s a skill. If it’s about flailing at the cost of effective basketball, that’s shameful

In other #Hawks news, the likelihood for the picks are as good as they could possibly be. Miracle notwithstanding, the Hawks will have the 13th and 22nd selections in the 2025 NBA draft

I think Landry did a really good job with what we know about his tenure. There’s plenty that we don’t, of course, but I really thought he was building something as Hawks GM. That’s not to say Onsi can’t be just as good, if not better

Seeing a lot of revisionist history today, but one thing I’ll note to try and correct some of it… Travis Schlenk didn’t want the Dejounte trade. Was overruled by ownership (and son) and that was the functional end of his time as the lead exec. Was well-chronicled at the time.

Oh. Uh Thanks Landry I guess

What is so awesome about the playoffs is that game 1 is all about “this team > that team” “this matchup favors this team” “this defender shuts down their scorer” and ever other game is just maniacal scheming and plottery. Maybe we use offball screens, maybe we blend in some zone, maybe eye of newt

From the notifications I’ve been getting you’d never know the Wolves are comfortably in front in this game

Zaccharie Risacher is currently tied with Kyle Kuzma for postseason points In 21 less minutes

The Hawks were two fluke Andrew Wiggins tip-ins away from the playoffs with the same team that some Hawks fans are giving up on

There’ll be lots of “Hawks should trade Trae” narratives this summer, bc people love to speak on what they have no idea abt, but here’s the facts: This yr was • abt setting a new + unified strategy on how to win w Trae • abt getting younger and longer • less abt Ws and Ls + more about winning habits

Onyeka Okongwu played the entire second half and overtime tonight. He was outstanding and, bizarrely, he did it without being 7-feet tall.

This one makes me really sad. The Hawks deserved to win, but didn’t.

Closing with Mo might’ve been an option there, but Miami’s small guys just rebound better than our small guys

It is so heartbreaking that the season ends with a Hawks team working harder than any Hawks team in years only to be outrebounded, out 50-50’d, and have other teams role players shoot a million percent from 3 out of nowhere. That’s been the story of the season

Overtime in Atlanta Somehow

Onyeka doesn’t want to go home

The most demonstrative I have EVER seen Onyeka Okongwu in my life. And he earned it with a big 3 and a runout dunk. Atlanta leads by 6 with 5:06 to go.

Hawks have looked like they’re sleepwalking out the gate. Still Plenty of game left, but this team needs to be sharp and decisive if we want a chance. This isn’t a walkthrough
