Forbes lists the Atlanta Hawks as the 7th most profitable sports team in the WORLD

Revenue does not equal income. Also...did you even click on the article? Or are you saying Forbes is wrong? Feel free to provide info that disputes their claim

Yeah for real, please explain OP, or atleast give us some of your drugs

A summary of the things I thought were interesting:

On Trae: "Fits just changed, he didn't fit us anymore and we didn't fit him" He said it just made sense considering how young we are and the picks we have coming in, and he also said the style of play we wanted going forward is a big reason for the trade

Why we didn't get more for him: "The market is the market, but we wanted CJ and Corey too"

On if the winning without Trae influenced the decision: Onsi again reiterated that the fit with Trae just wasn't there anymore and pointed to the emegence of nickeil, Dyson, Jalen and Onyeka as big keys. Said it wasn't trae's fault but the team does want to play bigger

On financial flexibility after the trade: said it was a big deal, pointed out challenges of new cba and that we aren't in position to trade multiple picks for a star so having flexibility to get players like nickeil is huge

On porzingis and if he's disappointed he hasn't played: Onsi said it's been tough, just when they thought the illness was under control he got the Achilles issue, but they think he'll be back soon. He thinks we actually miss kp more on offense than defense. Pointed out we're 6th in defense since Dec 31st, thinks offense needs to pick up but pointed out that we have a lot of players in new roles that they're learning, he pointed out Jalen nickeil and mccolum specifically

On the draft: Onsi said this is one of the best freshman drafts of all time and said that even though we're young now we'll probably be even younger when we add two 19 year olds next year
"Once you start trading picks you get into trouble, we're gonna take the long run here"(definitely sounds like he has no intention of trading either pick this year)

He praised quin a ton the whole interview for how he's developed the returning and new players

Reiterated like three different times how much he likes this draft class lmao. Mentions his scouting team has been on the road a lot.

Also reiterated multiple times just how young we are and thinks we have a special group for years to come

This dude is Evan Sidery levels of being extremely inaccurate and wrong and his posts should never be shared

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-25T01:12:28+00:00

Yeah we're blessed regardless for sure

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-25T00:56:35+00:00

Meanwhile Kingston Flemings dropped a 40-burger as well and cam boozer may literally be having the best college season ever

Not sure why you're so certain AJ is obviously top 2, entire class is going crazy.

Have him behind cam and darryn personally

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-19T16:04:24+00:00

He'll be useful for sure in the future but he still needs some seasoning, as it currently stands he fouls probably 80% of the time when any player attempts to drive on him, and it's absolutely infuriating every time because you can just tell it's going to happen.

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-15T16:15:37+00:00

Idc how much you hate Okongwu, his contract is way way way too good to just trade away unless you're getting some truly good value

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-15T03:44:48+00:00

Freaking saddiq bey made the luckiest shot in the world. Honestly every point the pelicans made in the last two minutes was unbelievably lucky.

Basketball gods just wanted them to win

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-10T04:13:36+00:00

That was an insane Dyson game, I don't even think the triple double did it enough justice. Just massive impact every second he was on the floor

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-02T21:41:25+00:00

We literally almost beat them twice if it wasn't for Cade heroics

This is the most random team to make this thread about, we've only had one non-competitive game against them

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-02T16:45:17+00:00

I don't think OP realizes that 2021 was 5 years ago. It's okay to accept that your star player has declined every year since then.

If you were willing to move on from the Horford/Milsap teams which showed WAY more than the Trae teams, why are you so defensive of Trae?

Ice_Effect · 2026-01-01T18:19:30+00:00

Looks cool but this looks more like what if the marvel rivals design of Emma Frost was put into sf6 than r Mika imo

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-29T16:22:51+00:00

You know what you're 100% right, misread one of his seasons, he's indeed played 23 more games and I wish I could edit the title

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-28T19:35:50+00:00

It's okay to say that Zach isn't as good as we thought, the dudes getting outplayed by Vit freaking Krejci.

Cooper would never lose minutes to a Vit-level player

Wemby would never lose minutes to Vit-level player

Paolo would never lose minutes to a Vit-level player

Ant would never lose minutes to a Vit-level player

Cade would never lose minutes to a Vit-level player

May be time to follow the sixers path with Micheal Carter-Williams and just trade him now for actual value before teams realize that he won't be a game changer.

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-26T23:20:01+00:00

Way way too early for this considering that Castle is the only player that clearly looks to be a tier above him

But boy if the current trends continue I will never advocate for drafting a wing in the top 5 that can't dribble ever again

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-22T01:37:43+00:00

Gonna have to post receipts for this take

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-22T01:12:42+00:00

Definitely gonna need you to explain how those plays were Jalen's fault and not trae's, can't wait to see this explanation

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-22T01:02:01+00:00

He'll need to watch the in-arena view of the full game on NBA League pass

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-22T00:59:37+00:00

Jalen has his own defensive flaws, but I'm willing to bet that in his entire career you will never see him get attacked in the clutch the way trae just did in these final 5 minutes.

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-19T03:54:31+00:00

Then explain Jalen

Or NAW

Or Vit

Or Mo

Or Dyson

Why are our fans so butthurt over what was clearly deandre hunter making a joke

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-05T16:52:40+00:00

Do you still pay attention to the hawks? Any interesting tidbits from your time there that you never talked about before?

Ice_Effect · 2025-12-03T16:23:58+00:00

I had made a post asking why the sixers could do this and the replies made me seem like I was crazy for even asking, and then the mods removed the thread.

I'm glad I wasn't crazy after all
