Atlanta Hawks' path to NBA Championship success
Trae Young's bold vision for the Atlanta Hawks' Championship journey and the path ahead
During their conversation with Brian Geltzeiler, Host on Sirius XM NBA Radio, Dukes and Bell asked about the Atlanta Hawks and their aspirations for an NBA championship. Mike Bell brought up a tweet from Trae Young, where he expressed his belief that the team is next in line for a championship, accompanied by ring and trophy emojis. Bell then asked Geltzeiler about the steps the team needs to take to achieve that goal.
Geltzeiler provided several insights and suggestions. He acknowledged that the team might have to venture into the luxury tax to bolster their roster but believed they are not too far off from contention. He expressed his desire to see Trae Young and Dejounte Murray reunited in the backcourt under coach Quin Snyder for a full season. Geltzeiler also emphasized the importance of re-signing Onyeka Okongwu and potentially parting ways with Clint Capela. Additionally, he highlighted the potential growth of Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin as positive factors for the upcoming season. However, Geltzeiler raised concerns regarding the team's defense, uncertainties surrounding D'Andre Hunter's situation, and the willingness of Tony Ressler and the ownership group to enter the luxury tax.
