Jon Chuckery

Jon started the hour with talking about the Braves. He then went into What's Bugging Chuckery.

Jon started the show by Setting The Table. He then went into an interview with Face 2 Face wrestling.

Jon talked about Vic Beasley.

Sarah Spencer, Atlanta Hawks beat writer for the AJC, joined Jon to talk about all the Atlanta Hawks. There are many trade rumors surrounding the Hawks right now. Names like Clint Capela and Andre Drummond have been in the mix for trade possibilities for the Atlanta Hawks. Sarah says that while people have been talking about John Collins, the Hawks are not trying to trade him. She said, "just because they get a question about John Collins, doesn't mean they're looking to do anything with him." She goes on to say the Hawks are not looking to move anyone from their young core; which consist of Young, Collins, Heurter, Hunter, and Reddish.

Sarah did mention that the Hawks are looking to move some expiring contracts. Names like Evan Turner comes to mind when looking to trade someone with an expiring contract. Sarah says that the trades that may come may involve more than one team. Jon thinks that Clint Capela fits what this Hawks team needs the most, a rim protector. Sarah, on the other hand, is not so sure that the style of play of Collins and Capela will mesh all that well. While unsure, she did say we wouldn’t know until they are possibly on the floor together.

Jon Chuckery and Hugh Douglas talk Hawks and Trae Young and why they disagree with some comments from Brian Scalabriene about not being able to build a championship team around Trae.

Brian Scalabrine, Radio.com Basketball Insider, joined Jon Chuckery to talk about the Atlanta Hawks and namely our all-star, Trae Young. Brian thinks that Trae Young is one of the most prolific scorers we have seen in a long time, it still might not be enough. While Jon thinks that Trae Young's ability to score and pass the ball would attract other free agents, Brian is not as convinced. 

 

Brian does not think "guys are really running to go fill Atlanta's free-agent needs this summer." Everybody recognize that Trae Young is a dynamic player but is it good enough to win. He thinks that it would be tough to build a team around Trae Young. Scalabrine says Trae Young has the scoring ability of Steph Curry and the passing ability of Steve Nash. With that being said the questions are out if Trae Young could defend his position. Brian even compares Trae Young to Allen Iverson. 

 

Brian thinks that the Hawks need to get two free agents. He first thinks that the young guys like Heurter, Collins, and Hunter need to play better. He says this summer, the Hawks may need to overpay a free agent, in the likes of J.J. Reddick. According to Brian, America needs to fall back in love with Atlanta as they did at the end of last season. The Hawks have lost some of that love. They need to get it back.
