You don’t trade Trae, you bring in another superstar to play with him instead. No team wins it all with just 1 superstar these days
Trae for jaylen brown straight up
So Max basically said No. 😂
I definitely don’t want Trae young for 40 mill a year.
They should go after jaylen brown…. Keep Trae as your #2 as he's better there
I can see the Spurs getting him somehow lol
Trae Young is not going anywhere
Thank you Hawks for those 3 1st Round Draft Picks
Trae Young and Griffin or Johnson to the T-Wolves for Anthony Edwards and Taurean Prince. Trae and KAT might make a good combo and the Hawks could use both of those players in their rotation.
might be on the jazz next season dont be shocked if him and Lauri work
Trading trae is dumb
Trae Young wakes up to trade talks and slander on 24/7 basis while Luka gets left alone make it make sense
The issue with Young is always going to be defense. He's atrocious on that end, and teams matchup hunt him. Because you can't put him on your lead guard, it leads to mismatches all over the floor. Yeah, he's an offensive savant (great passer, average shooter), but can you win a title when your best player can't play a lick of defense? I don't think so. Steph is an interesting comparision, but here's the deal: Steph is a better shooter, at least equal playmaker, and while his defense isn't great, he's worked on it, and is at least average.
Idk how far the hawks is gonna go without trae young. Hawks went to the eastern conference finals with trae 💯💯
Not to undermine steph, but aside from having klay, he also has one of the most versatile defenders in the nba at draymond. Not to mention the chemistry among those 3. It takes a lot more than just really good players. I feel like trae is being compared to steph too much, ATL even tried to copy the warriors roster, but they are 2 very different players. Steph's strength is off-ball movement,but trae is the better passer. Which means simply pairing murray to cover trae in defense isn't exactly the only puzzle to figure out. Oh and steph is actually well-liked so that's a lot easier too
Trade Trae to OKC for picks
And another howling story another white man in dark skin another Nigerian washed out no thanks
Greeks suck there no the greatest lovers of the world Alm you people do is populate ughhh
Scared Ben Simmons in the post in the playoffs, give him some credit
Trae would flourish on a different more competent team
Luka and Murray would have been a serious duo. Hawks upper management always fumbling the bag. They should have kept Luka!
Of course Tray can win a chip… you just need KD, AD, Joel and Tatum to fill up the remaining roster positions
Everyone has lost there marbles
Yes, you have Dejonte now, a better distributor (most of Young's assists are lobs to Capella), trade Trae, get ALL assets you can get back with 3 and D wings & a solid backup pg, and trade away Capella in the deal too
Hawks signing brown and trading trae to Knicks for RJ and IQ , that's a pretty good team of murry brown RJ Collins and capela
Trae for Giddey???
Did he say a "healthy Anthony Davis"? What's that?
Okay, the question is can the hawks depend on trae young to deliver a championship. The answer is no. Bring kyrie to atlanta, and we have a championship team. You heard it here first. kyrie leading a hawks squad with trae and there you have it.
I think ppl have underestimated considerably the value n impact Kevin huerter had. He's been a key piece in the kings resurgence, while the hawks took a step back while virtually having the same core
Which teams would do great with Trae Young?
I think Orlando would have a squad with Trae Young and an All-Star level big. Same with the Pelicans.
Boo! Yall are not answering the question
his turnover ratio is something to be very concerned of…I didnt realize it was that high until I looked at his stats. I understand his minutes/usage rate is one of the highest in the league but you cant be doing that…thats something you need to be better at to be a true superstar in this league
The real question is: Can the Hawks keep Trae Young in the long run?
If no, then they have to trade him.
Y’all keep talking about Trae, but Luka is gonna be a loser over and over again because they play the exact same.
Trae for Luka…..AGAIN!!
it’s crazy how everyone says trae and the hawks can’t win because of trae’s size but people praise cleveland with two undersized backcourt players (garland and mitchell)
That boy need a hair cut won’t say who y’all can see his line up looking like Mario cart race track
Trae and Keyshawn need to go somewhere with good barbers.
That source was lying cuz why would we trade him
He needs to be a number 2 not a 1
I am not completely surprised by this. Yes, Young is a good scorer (if he was more consistent and shot better than 45% from the field and 35% from 3 he could be a great scorer). However, has a negative affect on his game and you can;t really change that. Plus, looking at the numbers, I'm not sure he even cares.
The Knicks should trade for Trae. That would be epic. Bring the villain to the Garden.
This could not be more poorly timed for the Hawks
It is completely irrelevant to be talking about Steph Curry like this.
US sports media are insane, teams have one bad season and everyone screams it's time to tear everything down.
It just builds anxiety, trains everyone to be constantly on guard for slightly underpar performance as a pretext to blow things up.
Miami
Me personally I would gladly trade trae for a top 3 pick ik we ain't getting Victor Webenyama, but I like the idea of getting Scoot Henderson all day long.
He's taller, Far more Athletic and more better defensively.
Scoot Henderson in time would be better than Trae.
And we need to trade Collins and try to get Brandon Miller.
Short players get no love in the NBA smh
I hope Trae joins the Nets
Maybe he'll scare Ben Simmons into retirement this time
