Vince Carter retained the role of NBA’s older player when he reached terms with the Atlanta Hawks on a one-year, $2.4 million deal.

The Houston Rockets are only days away from bringing their new addition into the fold in Carmelo Anthony, but the 10-time All-Star is taking things as they come. For now, he’s a member of the Atlanta Hawks. The former scoring champion has heard all the rumors and seen the videos surrounding his expected signing with […]

Carmelo Anthony’s legacy has taken a decent hit after a career-worst season as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, a rather poor fit that broke a legendary streak of 14 seasons averaging 20 or more points per game — one that had only been done throughout an entire career by the likes of Michael […]

Carmelo Anthony’s stint as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder was a short-lived one, and while most combat his inability to adjust to a different role or come off the bench, the perennial 20-point scorer just saw it as a poor fit. “At the end of the day, it wasn’t a good fit,” said […]

Carmelo Anthony has proven to be a prideful individual during his tenure in the NBA, and that showed when he was forced into a third scoring option with the Oklahoma City Thunder after 14 seasons of averaging 20-plus points in the league. Yet that pride extended to refusing to come off the bench and even […]

The Atlanta Hawks’ front office made another offseason move on Tuesday, though a minor one, by signing free agent forward Alex Poythress to a two-way deal, according to Chris Haynes of ESPN. Since it’s a two-way deal that he signed with the Hawks, Poythress is expected to spend most of his time next season suiting […]

Dominique Wilkins is immortalized in NBA lore as the Human Highlight Film. Even today, Wilkins is considered one of the greatest dunkers in the history of the NBA. But Wilkins was much more than just a high flyer. Wilkins was an all-time great player, but he seems to get lost in the shuffle of history. […]

Alex Len is a free agent no longer. The 25-year-old and the Atlanta Hawks agreed to a two-year deal worth $8.5 million according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports. The Ukranian big man spent the first five years of his career in Phoenix. Len was the fifth overall pick in 2013, but he’s never truly […]

It’s 6:08 pm on July 14th, 2018. I’m pounding away on my laptop, three chrome browser windows with different segments of the NBA’s Collective Bargaining agreement open next to the word document I’m currently typing. I’ve spent three dollars for the luxury of calling this stylish, modern coffee shop my office for the day. Looking […]

The deal would include center Mike Muscala and another asset, allowing to match Melo’s $27.9 million contract. The Hawks would buy Anthony out […]

The Atlanta Hawks recently traded for Jeremy Lin, a transaction that further indicated that the team is willing to move on from Dennis Schroder – except that they still could not because it has been reportedly hard to find a trade partner who would take the German court general, per Michael Cunningham of The Atlanta […]

Atlanta Hawks rookie Trae Young was a recent subject of Kobe Bryant’s ESPN show Detail, which probably almost made the former Oklahoma Sooners hotshot swoon. Young acknowledges the attention he drew from the future Hall of Famer shooting guard by posting a message on Twitter to let Bryant know that he’s taking down notes. I’m […]

Kobe Bryant’s new ESPN show, Detail, is a way to get inside the mind of how the NBA superstar sees the game. Bryant takes fans on a film room journey to break down plays. His most recent episode of Detail discussed Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young and his performance during the Las Vegas Summer League. […]

Trae Young got a rough start to his pro career, missing 21 of his 24 3-pointers in three Utah Summer League games and averaging a mere 12.6 points per game after being drafted with the No. 5 overall draft pick after a trade between the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks. Young was faced with […]

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has faced a wave of criticism early in the Summer League, after struggling with his shot, combining for a futile 9-of-37 in his first two games in action. Perhaps the comparisons to two-time MVP Stephen Curry have hurt him more than anything, as many have expected his elite range […]

Trae Young is no stranger to celebrities. The Atlanta Hawks lottery pick (well technically the Dallas Mavericks, but you get the drift) has barely even laced his NBA sneakers and he already has a signed jersey from Kobe Bryant, a deep discussion with Stephen Curry, as well as run-ins with the likes of rap group […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been active in the trade market this season and trading away point guard Jeremy Lin was one of their plans from the start of the summer, according to Anthony Puccio of Nets Daily. The team was hoping to clear the logjam at the guard position, which already has D’Angelo Russell, Spencer […]

Jeremy Lin’s arrival in Atlanta via a trade from the Brooklyn Nets should only make Dennis Schroder feel more uncertain about his future with the Hawks. According to David Aldridge of NBA.com (h/t Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype), the Hawks have no plans of cutting Lin, who has a year left on his guaranteed contract. […]

The Brooklyn Nets have finally found a partner who would take Jeremy Lin.

Trae Young has received loads of media attention since Draft night. He was selected 5th overall by the Dallas Mavericks, who then traded him to the Atlanta Hawks.

Trae Young, the sharpshooting guard of the Atlanta Hawks left a Summer League game with a quad contusion. Young suffered the injury last Saturday against the New York Knicks. He logged in 21 points in that game — his best tally so far. But come Sunday in their game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Hawks […]

When the Atlanta Hawks drafted Oklahoma product Trae Young fifth overall in this year’s draft, the front office knew what they were getting themselves into. This is why Hawks General Manager Travis Schlenk was quick to defend his young star after the 19-year-old received some criticism for his early performances in the NBA Summer League. […]

If Atlanta Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk thinks that his team is grooming the next Stephen Curry of the NBA in the form of rookie Trae Young, then it’s not going according to his plan so far because the former Oklahoma Sooners star looks more like he’s the second coming of Emmanuel Mudiay than the […]

Top rookies Grayson Allen and Trae Young got into a scuffle in the Summer League recently. As seen in the video below, Allen — the 21st overall pick by the Utah Jazz, was closely guarding Young — the fifth overall selection by the Dallas Mavericks but was then traded to the Atlanta Hawks for Luka […]

Despite a potential interest from the New Orleans Pelicans in point guard Dennis Schroder, the Atlanta Hawks have not been fascinated with the offers they’ve gotten for their 24-year-old floor general, according to Jordan Schultz of Yahoo Sports.

Atlanta Hawks rookie Trae Young has struggled out of the gate during his initial stint in Summer League, going a woeful 4-of-20 from the field during his debut against the Memphis Grizzlies, outshined by rookie big man Jaren Jackson Jr. (picked a spot before him), who dropped a tantalizing eight trifectas to start his career […]

You can’t project the trajectory of a player’s career in the NBA based on two shots in some Summer League game. That said, it certainly does not look good, especially for a player like Hawks rookie Trae Young, who is being hyped as the second coming of Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, if […]

All eyes are on the rookies who are making their debuts in the NBA Summer League this week. It is the NBA’s top stars of tomorrow, who just so happen to be playing today. Who will be the duds and the studs in their Pro Career premieres? Of course, most eyes will be on the […]

There have been some rumblings around the status of Kyrie Irving that have Boston Celtics fans worried.

Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks is already working on his recruiting skills as the rookie point guard recently took to Twitter to call out Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James and entice him to take his talents to […]

Part of the reason the Atlanta Hawks drafted Trae Young was because of his unlimited range. A lot like Stephen Curry whenever Young crosses half court, a defender better be on him, because otherwise, he will pull up. In the Hawks’ practice facility, they have a four-point line that is used to help with team […]

News broke back in May that superstar power forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves are “not in a good place internally.” This was reported by ESPN’s Zach Lowe on The Lowe Post. His colleague Brian Windhorst asked Lowe to share his thoughts on Towns and the Timberwolves. Here is what Lowe said via Hoops Hype’s […]

There is plenty of room available on the Trae Young bandwagon. The question is whether his slight frame, size, and lack of explosive athleticism is enough to carry said wagon, let alone an entire NBA franchise. The Atlanta Hawks passed on Luka Doncic, the draft’s most intriguing prospect, betting he can. When the Hawks traded […]

The Milwaukee Bucks could have pulled off a rather beneficial trade with the Atlanta Hawks right on draft night, which would have allowed them to move down from the 17th to the 19th overall pick, still able to draft Villanova shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo two spots down, while also getting some added compensation from the […]
