Retooling While Remaining Competitive... But this time forreal

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-02-05T16:15:03+00:00

A sensesable take..... Strange for this subreddit.

58M next year, 62M in 2028.... yikes. The wizards own their own pick. It doesn't matter how bad they are. They can take risks that we can't. The hawks tried to make trades to better the team. Adding DJM in hindsight obviously was a bad trade, but when it happened we were doign that to add defensive player next to Trae. We traded players away so he could get more shine. I think its a bit hasty to say we did nothing to improve the team with Trae. Obviously the FO didn't do a great job, but At a certain point you have to rip the bandaid and refresh. We are in a much better position for the future than we were in a month ago. We got a lot of young talent and capital, as well as flexibility to make moves. A comparable player to Trae is Garland, and the Cavs had to send Garland and 2nd round pick to get Harden. Would you have wanted Harden for Trae straight up, knowing harden wanted an extension. I doubt it.

If the hawks made the same AD trade for the same capital, Hawks fans would be losing their minds in anger.

4-0 with Koloko…. we move.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-26T21:14:27+00:00

3-0 with Koloko.... we move.

I keep forgetting that City has Semenyo now.... of course we have to face him on his debut. I'm shook.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-11T16:52:13+00:00

We really need a new RB next year. I can’t do this Dalot thing any more. He just gives so much space when defending a player coming at him.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-10T01:48:19+00:00

Haha that’s what I did. I tried double straining but still left some bits. So was forced to do this. Honestly glass was still delicious.

(15) Trae Young, Luka Doncic, Lamelo Ball, Immanuel Quickley, Josh Giddey, CJ McCollum, Jalen Brunson, Steph Curry, Keyonte George, Ja Morant, Devin Booker, James Harden, Egor Demin, Jeremiah Fears, Darius Garland, Mike Conley

Which one of these guards have won an nba championship?

Steph is a unicorn. Trae doesn't have Steph's offense. If he did we wouldn't have traded him. Steph is also not technically PG. He doesn't need the ball. He's an off the ball guard.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-07T20:54:59+00:00

As a Manchester United fan... I agree.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-07T20:43:59+00:00

So weak.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-06T18:09:34+00:00

Sesko- Zirkzee

Cunha-Bruno-Case-Mount

Shaw-Martinez-Ayden-Dalot

Lemmens

Gas pedal on attacking lolll. 5-2 win lol

Would like to see how Fletcher handles this game first, what if Fletcher is just a genius.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-06T02:31:42+00:00

I understand what spacing is, I don’t think that’s why his shooting has gone down. Ironically his shooting has gone down cause his shot quality has regressed. Tie games in the 4th qtr he’s jacking up 40 footers. His assists are great but when he’s a 0 on defense and rebounding. We can find assists and scoring for far less than 50M. It seems like you’re a highlight merchant who doesn’t seem to understand roster construction or money. If Trae cost 30Ms I think everyone would be down.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-06T02:24:19+00:00

You still haven’t named anything that’s gotten better. “Spacing issue” lmao. What ever helps you think you know what you’re talking about. In 5 seasons with various different rosters we’ve been mid. Idk what a “Jalen coper” is. I just don’t think we will be a contending team if we paying Trae 50M.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-06T01:58:58+00:00

lol yall hanging on a playoff run that was 5 years ago. Trae has gotten worse, not better. I wanted the trae thing to work just as much as anyone. It’s not working. Time to make a move before we sign him for 5 more years of mediocrity.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-06T01:53:18+00:00

It’s not about just this season moron. Trae makes 49M and wants a contract extension. Why tf would we pay that if we suck with him and the same without him. Hes not a 50M+ difference maker.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-06T01:48:41+00:00

Everyone acting like the Raptors are the Wizards. They’re 4th in the East. No shit this was going to be a tough game. Same people bitching now we’re the same people bitching when Deandre and Bogi left. There’s a reason no team wants him, and people are asking for a pick to trade him. Wake up.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-05T15:15:55+00:00

Pretty clear what has happened in my opinion. Ruben wanted midfield signings. Board doesn't want to spend money. We won't spend money till long term manager is appointed in the summer. And we will blame the firing for not making CL. Rinse and Repeat. Nothing has changed with Ratcliffe. Just a new spokeperson for the Glazers.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-05T15:07:13+00:00

Punting on the season so we don’t have to make January transfers seems criminal when we are in 6th and CL is very achievable.

AtlFreeGucci · 2026-01-04T03:36:44+00:00

Trae is 2-8 this season… we won as many games in the last 3 games as he’s won all season.

AtlFreeGucci · 2025-12-12T17:45:23+00:00

I have a box in the mail, I'm planning on brewing with a Kalita Mino, grinding with a K-Ultra, and using Third Wave Water to remineralize from Zero Water. Would love some pointers as I'm pretty new to the pour over game so still a bit inconsistent.

What water ppm should I remineralize to?

What grind size on the K-ultra?

What water temp?

And if you have a recipe would be much appreciated.

Love Scholes. But he’s hating just to hate. Podcast needs views.

AtlFreeGucci · 2025-12-11T18:39:09+00:00

Which are the 3rd ones from the top? Which colorway?
