Mo, it might be time to have a legit conversation with you about the fact that your sweet boy, Trey Young, might be out the door. Per the Stein line, there is a growing belief league-wide that the Hawks are more open to trading him than they ever have been, but what happens to their play payroll

if no such trade materializes and Young winds up exercising that player option? Can the Hawks dare to find out by trading for Anthony Davis or something like that? What are they going to do with Trey Young? A lot of smoke is being built up there that they might be finally ready to trade him. like we've been telling you

at least there for months it might finally be happening. No, no, no, fuck that, correct yourself. You've been saying the same shit for years. Correct. You have been a lunatic. And you know what? This time we saw,

we saw him be gone. We saw Jalen Johnson led basketball thrive a little bit for Hawk standards, which is obviously mid. And then he comes back and they're 0 and 6 and they've given up 125 points in every single one of those games. It has been the absolute worst case scenario

for a Trey Young Defender. Everything the haters told you what happened is happening. How are you feeling? Listen, man. This team is ass with us. I have like, I feel like I've never been more depressed watching Hawks basketball ever. Never? Like, I've been saying, like, this is the best offseason that we've had.

Everyone's crowned the Atlanta Hawks's winners and whatnot. And I got a few messages to some people. Quinn Snyder, I hope you become the bestest of friends with Rahim Morris because you two are going to have something in common very, very soon. Dyson Daniels, you've got a humongous bag. I hope that you have good money management because you're never seeing a conversation. I'm trying to like that a day in your fucking life. All right.

Anya Qongu, listen, it's not your fault. 35% from three, making like two a game, five attempts. It's real. I love to see him set a screen. I would love to see him play defense.

But he just challenged. He's just six seven to six eight or whatever it is. Not his fault. He's PJ Washington. Jalen Johnson, I said it before. You have a concussion when you play defense. Why is that?

Why do you not know where you are and why are you just so sluggist and all of a sudden your athleticism just gets zapped. I have, like, so many qualms with this team. I hate this team so much. Like, they just continuously make my life so much worse, specifically because football is fucking starting to be over now.

The season is dwindling away, and now I have to pay attention, and I have to watch Atlanta Hawks, right and dissect this team. You didn't even mention the fact that you said, fuck you to all these people. Zachary, Reischet, is shooting 33% from the three-point line, someone you called French Clay Thompson.

Go ahead read that for me. suddenly I lost my ability to read I don't know what's going on that's fine I can do it for you number one pick Ries Sashay hasn't developed as the Hawks hoped and they're open to moving him in the right deal per the Stein line

quote unquote it is also increasingly believe that Atlanta is willing to surrender Zachary Rishishay in the proverbial right scenario since the number one pick in the draft just 18 months ago has not developed as they'd hope yet even if the Hawks are prepared to package Ries Sashay with the expiring

contract held by Porzingis and Luke Kinnard for Anthony David it is unclear how much additional draft compensation will be needed for the Mavs basically saying they don't know if anybody wants Riesh. They don't know if he even moves as an asset. They might attach additional picks. Bro, we haven't seen a No Moran World Pick talk like this

in like 15 years and whatnot. Like we've never seen this shit, bro. What does he do? I feel sorry for exactly because I told you guys this before way earlier in the season. It was kind of a joke but I think he dead ass has a curfew. Like Quinn Snyder don't let him play past a specific time past a specific time at all bro.

But once it's like 10, 15, it's like, all right, Zachary, 20 minutes, you're out. Get the fuck out of here. You got to get your extra sleep. We know you're not from here. You got to adjust to Atlanta air and whatnot. It doesn't make any sense. It's a bad time. Yeah.

He only gets like 19 max, like 23 minutes a game. That's actually hilarious. Seeing how he's like been deprioritized constantly, he's in the starting lineup of five men, somehow he's like the seventh option on the team, right? It makes no fucking sense. I know what's even great? I hate it. You know who's playing real well as of late?

T. Salon. Get the fuck on my face. You know who's lapsed Zach and Riesuchet? Tijon Salon. How you feel about this, man? I was going to say you've entered Tijon talks, but you haven't. He's past Risha Shet.

You've, like, you've ducked below Tijon talks. What's so sad saying this is like... There's stats in December. Tijon, 9.1 points, 3.7 rebounds. 51% field goal. 48% from the 3 in 18 minutes. About the same and more efficient than what Rises She is. done in 24 minutes. What did Atlanta do to deserve this? Like, why did we just somehow land on

no shot to Zachary Rich say, but he is obviously like the worst number on overall pick over the last for a long time, like terrible. But what did we do to deserve this? Like, we could have had, like, the year that we magically land the number one overall pick in between Wembe, Cooper flag, of course we could talk about Zahn and whatnot. We end up with this guy right here. You guys said he was French Harrison Barnes. Oh my God, he's worse than that. Oh, no, he's French Troy and Prince. We've ducked below. I think he's not terrible. He hasn't been the best this year, specifically shooting from three

as well like that. He's been not good at all. But I think what's been the bigger issue is how we've been developing him and how we've like taken away specific looks and touches because we got Nikola Alexander Walker that are doing the things that he's doing. Jalen Johnson's ascending, on Jekka Kong was

eating up a lot of the three point attention as well. It's sad seeing him just like be an afterthought on our offense and being treated like a random 10-year vet like he's Georges Nying or something like that. Do you think, do you think he would be treated as an affidaut if he was actually good? Did he drive here today? Take the bus. You're not, you're not running my car after that.

You're not riding my car after that. You're not running my car after that. I have spare keys to your apartment too. You're not seeing Penny today either. I'm taking your dog. How dare you? it's just a question this is like it's actually not fun to experience this I care about basketball do you know how bad I feel for the average Atlanta family man

who just has nothing to go for in life he'd be going home he'd be paying his bills and whatnot and he has to sit home every night and watch this sorry ass basketball team he pays like I don't know $50 a year for whatever with ballet sports just to see this type of performance this is terrible do you think the average Atlanta man cares about the hawks is that more of a falcon city if you're a basketball guy then yeah you care about the fucking hawks right this is terrible falcon city

god you know what's happened they're georgia city right oh yeah georgia city yeah okay okay fuck man fuck this team I love to hear it it's fantastic it's hilarious the best and I think the trade young stuff is picking up steam obviously Mark Stein reported that

Vince McMahon not Vince McMahon Tim McMahon Tim McMahon Vince McMahon Vince McHugh The Trey Young rumors It killed because he said Band McMahon

As his Twitter handle Sorry I forgot his first name He also says the Hawks are looking for ways To get rid of Trey Young Which is hilarious He said Under any circumstance Trey Young will not be back on the Hawks

Is that we're open to trading And we're exploring possibilities I'm begging for you to take this motherfucker off my hand It's like frantic Like you Trey please pick him Like God The Hawks certainly are indicating

that they're looking for the exit ramp with Trey Young. They did not make any attempt to get him signed to an extension when that's the case with their face in the franchise. It's a pretty clear message that this could be the end

as Donovan told you for months. I've been saying this and I do feel validated to the utmost degree. Shut up. Listen, I've been saying, I've been telling you this is a clear sign

of how they feel and if that's how you feel about the face of your franchise then this is what you do it also does not help like in we we brought up the stats they haven't been good since he's since he's come back the defense is worse than it's ever been the effort level on specific plays that you can that you can you know pinpoint is some of the worst effort level that you've ever seen from from any player of him just falling down not not getting back up not trying

to be involved in any type of of play defensively he had he had a there was a point in in the game, you know, our yearly matchup with the Knicks and the Hawks where Trey has like seven points. He's missing every single floater. He's getting beat on every single drive. Like he, he right now has more negative impact than it, than positive. Yeah. But, I mean, also too, that's, it's just the whole team, you know, like we have legitimately

no centers. We did our episode just a couple days ago. And my question for the scene was, who is getting these boards? who is not being somebody in the paint we have absolutely nobody there you know and that's and that's fair but but like nobody else if we're talking about signing a franchise player to a star deal to a max deal you're asking are we going to pay this guy 50 million dollars we're going to pay him 55 million dollars and yes you have to find you have to find you have to find centers who can do that you have to find just overall defenders as a as a team but it's what's easier to do that when you have 55 million

to go around and it's not you know it's not caught up in a point guard who hasn't been himself offensively in two years who has never been great defensively and now is even worse than he's ever been and vibes wise the vibes haven't been good for a year and a half now so i think that for the hawks it would make sense it would make sense for them to move on from train to get assets for him and and do all of that because surprise surprise the hawks are going to be mid and be the playing in the weakest Eastern Conference that we've seen in a decade in a long time the Hawkshead are going to be one of the few teams that don't take advantage of the situation in front of them when in the offseason we all like you said they had a great offseason we

all thought that they were going to be top four top five right being able to contend maybe even get to the second round of the playoffs if they win three games in the first round I would be shocked just put the gun on ahead and bow me out right now like who do you want to see trade for Trey Young. Just give me names. Give me numbers. NBA deal or no deal. Trey Young Edition. I got four teams for you. You tell me what you would do if you were the Hawks' DM. Would you take these trades?

Trade number one. Rob Dillingham and Julius Randall for Trey. Fuck no. Hell not on Julius Randall. You get Randall and Jalen Johnson as he's two big forwards that no one can contend with, get some spacing around him, some defense around him. And get Robert Dillingham.

He might become Trey Young. I don't know two years now. Get the fuck out of here. Two years ago. Who's going to be better? No. With the way Trace trending? Who's going to be better? No, I'm not doing that. No?

If it's not Jeremy Daniels, get out of my face. If it's not for Anthony Edwards, get out of my face. That's what I thought. Get out of my face. To give you a gun. It's not happening. Tell you to use it. Would you trade him to the magic for Jalen Suggs straight up one for one?

Get some defense around Jalen Johnson? That would be like very entertaining to see. I love seeing Jalen Sugs play defense and he's also been good offensively too. Somebody's got to do it because Jailon Zonon is not in there too. Give me a first round pick Me, give me a swap or something like that We can have a conversation I wouldn't be jumping on the phone

For you saying Suggs, Anthony Black And the swap Yes You lost your goddamn mind Best I can do with Jalen Sugs And Jett Howard Take it to leave him No, I actually do want Anthony Black

Though I do want Anthony Black I can give you Anthony Black And a swap And that's it Nah, I won't work when you guys Can't talk, bye Next team

So Jalen Sugs and Jett Howard Will you take it? No. No deal again No tough crowd Kyle Kuzma Bobby Portis Ryan Rollins and the 2026 first-on pick

you get the swap for you get it straight up so now you have your pick and the buck's pick deal I'm taking that so Coozman Rollins and you get the extra pick to basically get your own pick I think I might have to take this back to the team

and actually talk about this I fear I might say yes I'm taking this I'm taking this you get that extra pick you give yourself an opportunity to really hit a reset and not have to get on on another timeline because low-key

I kind of like the Minnesota deal but having Julius Randall around and now put you in this like weird position where you know that you're also like still going to be mid but like somewhat competitive if you tear it down like this you really give yourself a nice foundation to kind of reinvent this team

so I would take this deal over the Minnesota one yeah the Julius Randolph it would just be weird and would fuck up everything that Jaylon Johnson has going on but Ryan Rawls would be like it could be better for this team it's so crazy to say but he might make this team he might make this team better

because of the impact that he has defensively and you have Ryan Rollins basically because the Spurs have your swap so you'd have essentially the Spurs pick and the Bucks pick

in this draft need that not bad it's not bad it's not the worst outcome at all trade number four last one MPJ

and the next 27 first round pick for Trey Young I don't want MPJ and run my young guys man I'm good no no no he's right

bad in Atlanta in Atlanta fuck yeah no hell no keep him in brooklyn let jordy take care of him god no man he's hooping but yeah i'm good with zackerorysia say you're good
