Paul Pierce GOES OFF on the Atlanta Hawks for the return they got for Trae Young 😳
“I’m not shocked what they did. As a mid franchise, a franchise that’s not respected as an organization because of ownership, they never do anything that surprises me. For them to give up a 4x All Star, a guy who’s an elite PG in the league and got them to the eastern conference, and not get a draft pick out of it? That tells me you wanted him out of your state. Organizations like this will never be elite. Organization like this will never win a championship in my lifetime. If they do I will crawl from LA to New York on my knees. They’ll be a middling franchise for eternity”
