He shoots the best or second best every year. Best 30ft shooter ever

If Trae got 55+ wins while putting up 30 and 10 on 50/40/90 he would win MVP lol. Nobody is gonna go that hard with the narratives if the results so clearly say otherwise. Everybody who has won MVPs has against them. The problem with Trae is the hawks stay at .500 and that’s not enough to get peoples attention.

Also since 21-22 he hasn’t been anywhere close to 50/40/90 so him doing that would be huge considering the narrative that he’s Westbrook 2.0 with efficiency.

If Trae is that guy from the 21-22 season he has as good of a shot as anybody. Hawks just gotta win

I mean he’s definitely been driving but he’s been missing a lot of his floaters and layups too it’s not like he’s only taking 3s or the majority of his shot is coming from 3. The shots he’s taking from 3 have been good shots too

He’s simply off from everywhere

That’s absolutely a fair take. I was just speaking on the offensive part of it and people assuming Trae couldn’t play next to Jokic

Thank you. He’s a great all star caliber player but not on Traes level at least not from what we’ve seen so far.

You’re assuming a lot about Trae who has been the man since day 1, but Trae wants to win and not necessarily as the man. If the Hawks don’t improve significantly this year, which I think they will, Trae will ask for a trade and he would gladly go to a team with a top 10 guy. Trae hasn’t had many options in Atlanta especially with Nate McMillan coaching. You’ll be surprised by what you see form trae this season under Snyder

It’s the same thing. People are assuming a guy who’s clearly the better player wouldn’t adjust his game to play with the best player in the world. People forget Jamal was completely inconsistent in that role and had the most consistent stretch of how career in that role this year in the playoffs. Trae has never had a shooter like MPJ on his team while simultaneously having the best player in the world to take all the pressure off him.

When Trae plays the goal of the other team is to shut Trae down because if you do that you shut the hawks down. If Trae is just free to roam around because you have to double jokic, MPJ and KCP with out there next to Trae, and having AG as a cutter/lob threat he would look completely different.

You’re assuming a lot about Trae, who’s a #1 and been that since day 1 while Murray is a #2. If he was in Traes situation in Atlanta his whole career I don’t think he would do anything compared to what Trae has

Trae is much better. Trae with MPJ, AG and Jokic around him would be much more efficient and would play the non Jokic minutes way better than Murray. Murray is a top 25 guy, Trae is a top 15-17 guy
