Brad Stevens traded Aaron Nesmith for Malcolm Brogdon, who is our 6MOTY. Let us remember that

Jay King: Malcolm Brogdon said he loves Atlanta and will always embrace his ties to the city, but suggested he was never too big on the Hawks: “Historically, these fans haven’t been the most dedicated. And that’s myself included.” – via Twitter ByJayKing

I don't think this comment was necessary.

He's not wrong though.

I didn't say he was wrong.  But he should know better.  This is not the time or place to say this out loud.  Probably does not end up making any difference.  Atlanta fans may not even notice.  But he still didn't need to say it.

VG, I think he saw your message. 

The next day, he saw how the quote about the fanbase not being the most dedicated was circulating. “I had a comment the other day about the Atlanta fanbase. I thought it was misconstrued. I think it was taken out of context,” Brogdon told The Athletic. “This is a city I adore with my whole heart. I live here during the offseason. I’m from here, born and raised. I think there’s no other city as special as Atlanta in the world and there’s no other city I choose to live in. It has the most special place in my heart.”
 
“It’s definitely fun when fans go at you and boo you and taunt you and talk a little mess. But not in your city. That’s the one exception,” Brogdon said. “Atlanta, this is the one place where I’m like, ‘No.’ This is my home, these are my people, I know this city. I embrace this city and this city’s embraced me and raised me and loved me. This is where I want it to be all good.” – via Jared Weiss @ The Athletic

Boston fans wouldn't forgive his initial statement.  But, we'll see if Malcolm gets the boo treatment in Atlanta.  From what he said above, it sounds like that would hurt him.
