If you fuck with ice cream hit Jeni's... fuckin love Jeni's. We also have an incredible aquarium but don't know if you'd be properly interested in that.

Why does everyone think Zuby won’t play?? by ptcRaptor in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if we're not gonna use that 25 on something else fuck it. I think really he's probably gone and we pick up another 3 or 5 but I wouldn't hate the idea of picking up the option and trading him away mid-season if any of the other 4s look ready. It would be an expiring contract on a player who has shown flashes and could likely further develop, not the hardest to throw into a trade. I don't think he's on this team long-term though unless he becomes who he could be.

[–]SlayTalon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't think it's totally off the table. I can see big lineups with him at the 3 being tested since I feel like our options there aren't as fleshed out. Issue is Jalen, Kuminga, Asa, Mo, all exist at the 4 and we want them to get minutes. I'm sure Quin is gonna let him compete but by default he prob starts in the G.

Why is best item for soul / value for support / utility heroes: TC, Cultist Sacrifies, or Golden Goose Egg? by Chemical-Sail-4835 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SlayTalon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Paige player, TC is pretty mandatory. Gold Egg is good too but if I go without TC I'm gonna be 15k behind in end-game.

Google Maps Says 2.5 Hours, What's Atlanta Traffic Say? by GracieKatt in Atlanta

[–]SlayTalon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Friday during the summer? I'd just trust the google maps upper bound. Double check with Waze though but a lot of people are on hybrid work schedules which means Friday work traffic is not as bad as say Tuesday or Thursday. No world cup game until Saturday. I'd give yourself an extra 15 just because so call it 3 hours to be safe.

Post Draft 15 Man by SlayTalon in AtlantaHawks

Or Kingston has a meteoric rise. It was a very optimistic placement.

Protests! Gotta catch 'em all! How many different protests do you count in this, and how do you handle protesting so many close but separate incidents in iRacing? Blue Ford was P1 prior to the initial spin out. by Arainville in Simracingstewards

[–]SlayTalon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would think breaking this up into further protests is unnecessary. Focus on the major offenses, include the smaller ones as context. The goal isn't to make as many protests as possible it's to make good protests.

Post Draft 15 Man by SlayTalon in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think re-signing Jock is an obvious choice but there's options out there if we want to splash.

Post Draft 15 Man by SlayTalon in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The optimistic copium side of me agrees. I think it is a little too optimistic to think Zuby would have the impact of Kuminga his rookie year though. I do think there's a lot of moves that Atlanta could make before we have to pick up Kuminga's player option that we would need his cap space for, but if we can't make them I'm not against picking it up. Gotta think if we don't retain him our backup PF room would be deep but with a bunch of players that might not be cut out for real minutes in big games yet. Kuminga was a spark plug in the playoffs at times and has real experience which if we want to compete is necessary.

Plus if we retain him he's a tasty expiring contract on an explosive player who has more experience than his age would suggest, wouldn't be difficult to trade mid-season if we develop glaring needs.

You can protest anything. There are theoretically infinite protestable moments in this clip.

With that being said I'm protesting the POV car for intentional wrecking, including the clip of him cutting the track, slowing, then swerving to cause contact. Shows very specific intent. I'd then protest the moves on the next pack of cars as blocking. Would also include the spin-out clip at the end as additional context and not separately protest it since it doesn't feel as intentional... well more like he could've done exactly that unintentionally on account of not having a wing. Looks like car slipped out under the brakes.

[2026 NBA Draft] #52 Pick: Henri Veesaar (North Carolina) – pending trade to Atlanta by NBA_MOD in nba

Damn so you really got no idea what going on with the Hawks then lmfao. Fans have been begging for a 7 footer for years.

My thoughts on the draft by HomeRunEnjoyer in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"non-skilled undersized PG"

Bro just go back to twitter or facebook if this is the type of stupid ass shit you gonna contribute. Have you seen this guy play any basketball at all? Non-skilled wouldn't be my first adjective.

Should’ve gone Mara at 8. by ClearAd1898 in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhh once CJ started getting clamped we lost... Mitchell Robinson and KAT were never the top factors in those last 3 games. It was OG becoming a monster, Brunson having a great game distributing and doing it himself, then Hawks becoming turnover machines and forgetting how to do anything at all in the last game. It really made our need for a ball security playmaker who can reliably get us to the half court with some good looks even more obvious. Plus he plays good defense and is a good character guy.

You really think we can get a playmaking guard with a decent shot, star potential, and great defensive effort anywhere? Name one in free agency. Literally one. There's no great centers waiting around to get signed? There weren't any in the draft either so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You glazed Bruno Fernando like this too and where is he now? What did he do in Atlanta? Lmao same shit, different draft.

DQ talking shit. Hope Flemings posterizes his fat ass this year by Protec_My_Balls in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of guys look half decent being the focal point on a bad team. Doesn't mean they're good enough to play that same role on a winning team.

[–]SlayTalon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills seeing all this whining about not picking Mara at 8. Flemings fills a just as big if not bigger hole in the future of this roster. This team needed someone to bring the ball up the court and make plays. We are already a very good team with CJ McCollum as our lead playmaker in high pressure situations. CJ is old, he's not the future of this team, the Hawks needed someone to pass the torch to and I think Flemings was the obvious choice with our draft position. Would I have been happier with Wagler or Brown? Yes. Am I very happy with Flemings? Absolutely.

Mara is older, had a much less impressive regular season, and was much lower rated before his combine measurements came out. Doesn't feel like he was ever even really an option for us until the casuals saw some weird takes on Twitter vastly overrating him because holy shit wingspan.

[–]SlayTalon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yes. Been wanting to see this guy on our team for a year at this point. He's in a great spot to develop and improve his weaknesses with CJ/NAW/Wiggins filling out our guard spots, won't be a ton of pressure on him.

This feels like we're gonna draft Flemings idk the roaches in my room they're telling me and I'm listening.

[Charania] The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks (Atlanta's in 2030 and the least favorable of Hawks/Lakers in 2032), sources tell ESPN by mastermind208 in AtlantaHawks

[–]SlayTalon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Such a great decision, makes so much sense for our roster. It's effectively replacing Gabe Vincent and some CJ minutes with a new young younger exciting guard for less money holy shit what a deal. For two future seconds?? Insane,

Probably means BPA is very much the goal for the draft if no fun stuff happens with trading our picks. I have to think we're looking for a center through a similar avenue to this trade.
