Welcome to the Atlanta Sports Party, your go-to for the latest in Atlanta sports, brought to you by the Locked On Podcast Network. Hosted by Tenitra Batiste, alongside Jarvis Davis and Maria Martin, this episode dives into the recent media session with Landry Fields, discussing the trade of Dejounte Murray and its implications for Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.

Maria Martin shares her thoughts on Landry's comments: "I think that's a good question. And the reason I phrased the question the way that I did was because of the fact that they traded for him just two short years ago. And remember, it was a blockbuster trade. And so we're all thinking that this is going to work out as was the front office, I'm sure. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done it. And so I phrased it that way because while it is a business and the NBA just gets rid of players and brings players in, it's just how it works. Any professional sports league is like that. Those decisions are very difficult."

Jarvis Davis adds his perspective: "I feel like he Landry that question, you know what I'm saying? Like, I didn't get anything from his answer. Right. Because, and that's, and that's how I feel every time he opens his mouth. That's how I feel when he talks about basketball, when he talks about this team, because he has plenty of opportunities just to give us a little nugget and he just goes in and snatches that mug away, you know, like taking a key, taking a piece of food from a baby's mouth, I'm just like, man, give me something." The team also previews the upcoming Summer League, focusing on new talent like Zaccharie Risacher and his potential impact. Maria Martin notes, "Mohammed Gaye said something really interesting today at practice. He was asked just about everyone around him, and it's cool because you can tell that there's a very good vibe between the rookies and not that Mohammed is, but for the younger guys, just what it's like for them to be around. And these are kids that are coming from all parts of the globe, which I think is really cool. And so you have Zaccharie Risacher and then you have Nicola. And what Mohammed said today, Washington, if people start to figure out that they are very good, it is over for a lot of people."

Additionally, the podcast touches on the Braves' season and the recent legal issues surrounding Trevor Etienne, speculating on possible disciplinary actions by Kirby Smart. Maria Martin comments, "Of course I will. You know, and I hate that people don't think that these coaches discipline their players.
