Jeff Teague on why Atlanta Hawks HAD TO TRADE Dejounte Murray to New Orleans Pelicans | Club 520 

They tried to keep butts in seats while building a contender post the ECF run when they added DJ. Found out that both Trae and DJ are better suited as primary handlers as opposed to working off ball with each other and are now correcting by adding more defense and shooting around Trae (hopefully more rebounding too) idk what else y'all expect especially when we aren't able to grab stars during free agency most years.

yeah us ATLiens should know by now we are not trying to win nor do we know how. It is what it is... it's just a lil game to these GMs & owners

Facts!

@@mef2theman Man you guys need to trade Trae, dude is like Westbrick (but less effective), his stats are more important then winning, he's got all the talent but doesn't know how to use it an is so bad on D

@@ChuckwaldMartin the ignorance level is off the charts.. no one takes casuals' shallow opinions seriously. nice try buddy

Not the brightest bulb. He said Kobe was a try hard like you’re not supposed to…try hard lmao

@@MaximusR93 you are missing a lot of context w/ this one, kobe stan

did he say current harden + russ > embiid + maxey? Otherwise if hes saying rockets harden + russ > sixers embiid + maxey, hes not wrong. But maxey is super young so might change

Im sorry but Teague is talking about contributing to winning and making players better aka leadership.... Russ and Harden have won way more than Embiid and Maxey, knock it off 🙄🙄🙄

Bro just removed all context lmao good try

Dominique Wilkins is one of the most underrated Superstars in NBA history I'm from N Florida had Nique poster on my wall as a kidd. Loved the Braves since I was a kidd too. Went to a game it was grest. $alute

One of the Dumbest trade in nba history Atlanta was playing the best basketball in the east until that trade.

I loved Joe Johnson, Josh Smith era Hawks.

Diddy is that you??

@@Agent_Dingleberry no. That’s Bruce.

I was thinking the same. Made some friends from Asia google Steph's height the other day. They thought he was eye level with them 😢

@@Agent_Dingleberry I think it's more Diddy to record a crazy man on a bus and post it then to point out how BIG another man is. So big.

These dudes aren't that big compared to NBA players. Steph is 6'2 and Jeff 6'3. Both weigh under 200 lbs. No where near huge.

as a hawks fan, Yes. This is What we hoped Onyeka Okongwu would be

@@truphonicOO too small.

Hawks should have moved down and got Edey. They could play inside out/outside in with a guy that has to be doubled in the post. He’s gonna help Ja but Ja’s not a shooter.

@@atlnla4112 Honestly having edey and ja on the floor is gonna ruin the team dynamic. Edey legit cannot do anything outside of the paint so he's gonna clog the lane a lot and make it hard for ja to score like he usually does

That’s a hard setup to find Embiid is a unicorn and wings like Paul George who can score at a high level and defend at a high level are hard to find

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

⏸️

Good brains

PAUSE

Cuz we all know they gonna get hurt they might play 30 games together

Literally most point guards in the league do the same thing. Watch Luka, watch Harden, watch Haliburton lol.

Like Luka, you can’t change your best player. You right though but Trae is there best player. You have to build around Trae, regardless if they don’t win, they have to.

@@kb5509Trae can shoot too

He too short to be tryna do anything but shoot

He almost averaged 11 assists you twat. You don’t know wtf you’re talking. You sound like a casual idiot. Stick to football

That would be bittersweet, cant wait to listen to ISO-Trae's whiny ass cryin'....he aint no leader

I don't think that he's underrated just that he can't be that guy when the team actually needs him to. Not to say he never shows up but in this past playoffs, Joel had to carry that team with shaky legs and twitching eyes.

To whom???? Nobody not mentioning him when bringing up the 6ers... I gotta disagree friend

@@lithamoshoeshoe4641Maxey averaged 30,7 and 5 in that series. Like I said underrated Lmao

@@sswolfbeard4093Teague said Dame was better than Tyrese. Yeah he WAS better. Y’all don’t understand how great that kid is now.

@@ericdogan8899 I hear you. I’m not saying his a bad player but in their most recent series Embiid wasn’t able to finish all the games meaning all the offence ran through him and it was easier for teams to game plan against just him. Tobias has to be the weakest link of that team for sure

Same here. We were first at the gate to get in because DJ and Jalen were first to warmup. He signed 6 jerseys, a hat, and 17 basketball cards for us. Dude is super humble! We’ll miss him. Hawks are so stupid.

He should have been if they knew what tf they were doin. I dont understand how you cant see DJ made Everyone better, thereby the team won more and played defense TOGETHER. Really stupid that they are ridin with a whiny ass high usage, selfish, turnover machine instead. Alot of coaches and player carcasses left in Isotrae's wake...

Bogie is in Atl Huerter went to Sac IK all whities look da same but damn, one got red hair!

Yeah cuz Ben collapsed. Young a number 2.

He’s good defending 1s not 2’s

@@rwill784 DJ had a worse defensive season than Trae young,Curry, Brunson and Luka and none of those guys can guard

Also a former 2nd team all NBA defender. The ability is there the environment wasn’t

That man was playing with trae young 🤣🤣

@@Moneymaker600 and Trae is a better defender than Murray

Wouldnt be a bad addition as a 4/5 tweener tbh. Would help Mo Guye develop too

This is nasty work ima support but they can’t keep robbing me

This is just a clip they talked about this 5 days ago on the actual episode.

They never explain themselves. They just say shit

Truth

Even without PG at that also.

Two*

@@tysonbaker6287 lmo

Allstar Hes gonna turn up the D with that squad, Alvarado and that energy will inspire the beast in DJ...Isotrae ruins that kinda energy

Truth...but he aint changin....he needs to go to Big3 with that big3 game

Jalen Johnson is an uber athletic forward who can catch lobs and dribble good enough to bring the ball down to court, while providing good help defense and a little bit of rim protection. Zach Risacher is a sharpshooting forward, who is really good without the ball in his hands, and knows how to get open. Whether he is cutting to the basket, or getting open from three. He also provides really good help defense as well, mostly off of deflections and steals. While Jalen and Zach both have similar height, they are completely different players who complement each other and Trae Young very well.

Bishop Kneemont

They did run it back, the main problem was that they truly ran it back with almost the exact same squad instead of improving their problem areas. They put too much faith in Deandre Hunter and Cam Reddish and both came up well short in reaching expectations

Exactly that code been cracked and if you shutdown the IsoTrae you win....

Height don’t mean shit

@@FergJ86how many 6’1 guards have won titles as their teams best player

​@@alexescutia4805How many PFs have won rings as the best player? Dirk, Duncan, Petit maybe Elvin Hayes..in 74 seasons that's only 4 guys so what does that mean?

​@@jbwuzhere6819kg, giannis, lebron, tatum bro plenty of pfs have won as the best player on their team

@@Idk_tbh20 Giannis yes but Tatum is not a PF nor is LeBron. Nowadays everybody can be a PF depending on the matchups. That's still not many names. That's why people annointed Duncan the goat PF so easily.

They WERE THAT its just iso trae brings everyones energy Down because hes immature and plays like a whiny ***ch. You watch DJ is gonna be allstar and defensive beast with that Alvarado energy in Nawlins.

@chazgoat6939 Murray will be good in NO because he's legitimately a good point guard. Love DJ but he's a PG not a 2 guard. That's the problem. He can't guard wings, Daniels can and is a monster on defense. Murray is solid against other PGs and can get steals, but that's about it. He was out of position in ATL.

You kinda made my point, DJ was our guy, we traded WHAT we needed at the 1...i get it nobody wants that ISOTrae game where it takes 4 grown ass men to compensate for a weak link.

@chazgoat6939 I didn't make your point. Despite DJ being a good PG, he's not on Trae's level. Trae is arguably the best passer in the league and led top 10 offenses before DJ ever showed up and hurt the efficiency. Also, stop the🧢. No player has ever came out and said anything negative about Trae as a teammate. Trae just needs good defenders around him and Murray wasn't that.

Your right, hes not on Traes level, hes WAY better than Iso Trae...spittin stats is all you got with Trae, its called empty calories my friend, that one trick pony is going NoWHERE in the EC.. DJ does the little things Trae never will, and that is what makes him a leader and, oh yeah, a player other teams want. If you cant see the difference on the court between when Trae was out and that pitiful Chi play in disaster, i cant help you. Trae brings the whold team down and its obvious when you have eyes to see WINNING basketball. Real Hawks fans dont give AF about Trae's #'s, they dont translate to W's, if you still stuck on that IG your an IsoTrae fan but thats about it. Trae will be great in the Big3 someday with that game of his..

CJ compliments DJ better in that he can play off ball / SG better than Trae. They'll likely use DJ as the primary handler

Can't be weird when it's true and it happened 😭😂🤣😂

@@thefreakyrobber0weird for bringing it up every opportunity he has. That nigga hate on the east coast all day

When hear people say that, it means they know zero about the Philly fan base. It’s a lazy statement.

@@thefreakyrobber0have y’all ever thought to why that happened ? Looked into it at all? Lol or just going with weird narratives because it’s the cool thing to hate on Philly

They wasn't even alive when it happened is the weird part. Just repeating the same nonsense.

Homie cause on the topic at hand. Teague was actually there. Its literally a story that relates to his life, it only relates to the others thru Jeff.

JT has the bigger fan base

The reason you clicked on the video

SEO aka search engine optimization.

@@greatone9102 no boy I been watching the podcast since it started I always click every video I watch it cause I like all 3 of them not just Jeff Teague

And Murray is?

Guess what, EC teams adjusted since then and ISO-Trae will never get that far again unless he changes that one trick pony show...he has not evolved his game to WIN, period. He needs to go to Big3 if hes gonna play Big3 ball, theres a reason there was market for DJ and not ISO-trae.

Good luck with all that. How about you get a PG thats not a whiny ass **ssy and plays defense and actually inspires everyone else to commit to the little things. Oh we had that, DJ brought the team UP about 10 notches on defense while IsoTrae was out. Go watch tape, our PFA numbers went down by like 10 during that month. Comparatively, look at the team effort in that Chicago play in game that ISOtrae had NO business playing....no energy, no spirit, no intensity....IsoTrae DESTROYS TEAM ENERGY, you can see it if you have eyes to see. IsoTrae shouda recused himself from that game, but he put himself over the team(see the pattern?)and stunk it up. Coby White looked like an allstar lol. DJ deserved a chance to run through a season as the leader but now we can only hope they move IsoTrae but nobody wants that energy on their squad so here we go again.

what decent centers are left on the market though

Lauri ​@@chillen9109

We got an unprotected 1st, a top 10 3&D wing who is proficient at point of attack defense, a vet 4/5 rebounding machine, and a 3/4 with shooting and blocking - not sure about a fleece but hey

Just stay away when we make the finals in a couple years

Iso Trae needs to be in Big3, period
