Around The ATL Episode 102

The Atlanta Hawks are in the NBA Playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks beat the New York Knicks Sunday to grab homecourt advantage. The media has had to backtrack from their OVERWHELMING support for a team that has missed the playoffs 13 of the past 20 years. Trae Young had a tremendous first playoff game, had a game winning shot, team played great defense, players hit clutch shots. But game two is Wednesday, what can we expect?

Julio Jones looks like he is heading out. But how did we officially hear about it? Shannon Sharpe went against all protocols and put Julio on the phone during a live show. Private is private for a reason. It's unprofessional what Sharpe did. But now that we know Julio asked for a trade (despite team giving him the money he wanted and having one of the best performance streaks in NFL history, knowing that our defense and coaching has been iffy at best the last few years) and he doesn't want to give this current team a season to see how things turn out, where does he go? Falcons have already said they will wait for the best deal. He is under contract, they are not in hurry. What happens?
