[QUOTE="Golden Tornadoes, post: 1155771, member: 5881"] I agree that holding him was the wrong decision. I think Saleh wanted to see the team mesh with Trae not injured to see if it could work. It couldn't and he got what little value he could squeeze out of Washington. They have massive future flexibility, but short-term scoring problems. If the Hawks can hold a team to under 120 points, they have a chance, but even that wasn't good enough to beat the Bucks today. I don't think it's a rudderless ship problem, but it definitely is a trade Trae too late problem. They could have addressed the scoring in the offseason had they chosen to do it then, but they didn't. Because of the timing of the trade, Saleh now has to either make a purely defensive team work, or try to make another trade to get some offense. Either way, trading Trae back in the offseason could have solved many of these issues. On another note, I would really like Quinn to get Zaccharie Risacher moved to a 2 and make Jalen a 3 to allow Porzingis to play 4 and OO to play the 5. Let NAW play the 1 to start then rotate McCollum and Daniels in with the 2nd team to keep the defensive pressure on. Either that or start Kennard at the 2 and allow Kispert and ZR to play with the 2nd team to create more balance. [/QUOTE]
