Tough bind to be in if you’re coaching against him and this goes back to last year too so I’m surprised we haven’t really seen/heard more coaches making post game comments about him honestly.

I agree I'd like to see how this goes in the playoffs.

Another absolutely embarrassing loss by Atlanta losing by 30 at home to Washington.

As much as I want to see Trae traded and off this team regardless of what the return is. I guess the realistic move is trading his buddies Clint and Murray. I would also move Bogdanvich

I know they are down as a team. Klay is a step slower, and things have always looked rough for them with no Draymond, but there is just no excuse for that guy to have regressed so much.

There are more rumors in the Bay than pennies lying on the ground when it comes to Wiggs...but the common denominator is that it's an off-court issue impacting him. The Big 3 rumors revolve around 1.) a possible sick parent to 2.) baby-mamma drama to 3.) being mad at the team for how they handled Poole since Poole is his best friend, reportedly.

I just honestly hope he's ok and that it isn't something bad. I think a change of scenery will be good for him; great actually if he can get to Toronto or somewhere in the Northeast closer to home.

I was wondering if he is Devin George's son since he actually resembles him a little bit...

Yeah, that was a disgraceful performance. Imagine getting blown out by the Wizards, lol.

Also, I read that broke the Hawks scoring 100 streak at 94 games. Not sure if that's accurate, but they scored 99 tonight.

Huge trade

Pistons are trading Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and draft picks to Wizards for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala - Woj

Detroit needs shooters and badly.
