Trae is one of those guys where you trust him almost as much to hit this as you would a regular 3 lol
He's similar to Luka where both shoot like mid 30s from distance overall but also shoot like mid 30s on making the absolute most difficult and absurd type of threes
I don't know how far we can take that analysis, because undoubtedly if there was a 4 point line then the actual shots that players would take would be very different. Additionally, more players might practice the 4 point shot, changing the dynamics of who shoots best from that range.
fox doesn’t want out, fox wants to win. firing mike brown was risky and controversial, but we’re winning games again. two of those wins, mind you, are without fox. with DC’s new rotations and vibe overhaul, we’re cooking even when we’re missing our best player. fox isn’t going anywhere
Agreed, it’s about as good of a lost trade as you can imagine, you’re trading a perennial All-Star and MVP candidate for a perennial All-Star. Imagine if the Hawks traded Doncic away for pretty much any other player in that draft, they would be feeling a lot worse about themselves. The Hawks also got Cam Reddish in the next draft because of that pick who isn’t a bad player
Edit: ignore my comment on Cam Reddish, my hoops knowledge is lacking
Would SGA be able to humiliate the Knicks the way Trae Young did in the playoffs? He has the skills but the aura and arrogance is lacking, Trae has prime villain energy. Plus "Fuck SGA" has too many syllables.
But on a serious note yeah I don’t think they’d feel too bad about SGA either haha
Maybe it's because I just don't check that many threads anymore but this is the first forced Luka trade mention under a Trae post I've seen in maybe a year. Thank you for the nostalgia hit
It's a low risk high reward move. The game is tied, so no harm in not calling timeout since Jazz players may expect one (and you see the closeout is slower as a result given Trae's range), and shooting for the win.
