>Shams Charania of [The Athletic reported this week](https://twitter.com/RunItBackFDTV/status/1744741524901093754) that the Spurs have an interest in trading for Murray after dealing him two years ago for five first-round picks. (Pretty smart, you get a point guard back and you make the team that owes you five picks worse.)
>
>Charania noted that Murray is under contract, so the Spurs have the leverage. However, there are indications Murray doesn’t have significant interest in returning to the Spurs.
>
>A more interesting question is if the Spurs and Hawks would have interest in a deal for Young. **League sources have suggested that Young’s camp would be open —** ***if he is traded,*** **which is a significant clause here — to pairing Young with Victor Wembanyama.** The two teams have already done a big trade for Murray, obviously, and Atlanta would surely be interested in getting back some of the draft picks it sent the Spurs for Murray.
>
>The most likely scenario, obviously, is that the Hawks keep Young and continue to build around him as their franchise cornerstone. But the uncertainty of everything with the Hawks leaves the door open for a lot of outcomes.

We got our generational pick , let’s get an established nba player to pair him with. 100% down. Trae comes with the swagger too that wemby can feed off of.
Please do whatever it takes to get Trae! I think pairing him with Wemby would be so sick!
Even Giannis can’t make Dame’s defense work and Trae is way worse. Would be so fun to watch though
Fuck yes. Enough of this Dejounte talk.
Interested what it would cost but would be an amazing upgrade. Would definitely take him over any pg in this years draft
Trae would break the assist record for a season. His best bigs have been John Collins and Clint capella, having Wemby wouldn’t be fair
Trae Young grew up as a [Spurs fan](https://news4sanantonio.com/sports/hawks-trae-young-says-hes-been-a-spurs-tony-parker-fan) and knows [what a weapon Wemby is](https://youtu.be/-sgEPqzZBfk?si=uSYS2gKGoyP_xPem&t=68). If the 2025 offseason hits and we don’t have someone who looks like they can be an All-Star point guard, and the Hawks are still looking rough with Trae only 2 years from free agency, I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade for him. He’s one of the best lob throwers in the league, so it makes sense to pair him with the greatest lob threat of all-time. Plus Wemby could cover for Trae’s defense.
Regardless of this particular rumor, I were an All-Star point guard, Trae or otherwise, I’d definitely be figuring out a way to get to San Antonio. With how good Wemby looks, and how well Devin fits in as a #3, it feels like we’re one All-Star point guard (and a 3 & D wing) from a dynasty. Or at least a bunch of WCF battles with OKC lol
this is the craziest timeline bro ahah
Absolutely not. Apart from the severe defensive issues and some questions on if his offense can consistently show up in the playoffs, the amount he’s disrespected by his fellow players indicates the vibes are off and not worth it.
In no universe should we pair Victor with Trae. That would be a *horrible* idea. Dejounte is the better play here. Not that he’s the better player, but he’s a better fit for what the Spurs want to do schematically.
Hey so can you smart people that know how to use the trade machine make this happen? Who would we need to give up?
No thanks on Trae Young.
He is a good player, but only on 1 side of the ball. Dude is a legit liability on defense and getting paid a crazy salary
If he’s an unrestricted free agent why not but if it’s a trade, I don’t know who they give up that the hawks agree to, not named Devin, Jeremy, Victor, Keldon.
Yeah this is the Atlanta guard I’d want. Keep Devin, get a couple 3&D guys at the forward slots and you’re cooking up something really spicy.
I’d love the fit, but I have some concerns:
There has been a lot of rumblings over the years of Trae not really caring about teammates, being disengaged in the team process, ignoring coaches, and basically doing what he wants.
Are we going to have the same interview with Keldon in 10 years that LMA did about Kawhi?
Also, apart from defensive questions, how will Pop react when Trae dies on a screen and then bricks a logo 3? It would be comedy gold, but I’d be nervous about Trae’s response.
Man… I just don’t like Trae. There are just so many rumblings about him being a meh teammate, and he hunts fouls… I’m sure if we got him I’d quickly change my mind… but…..
I don’t really want undersized PGs with little defense, especially if Wemby and the other have to compensate.
It’s defense that win titles, so meh.
I’d rather have Simmons’ profile over Young’s to be honest.
Two potential DPOY candidates in a team is stuff of dreams.
I feel like people wanting Trae are taking crazy pills. This dude has shown to be a horrible leader and defender.
Am I the only one that thinks trae young isn’t conducive to winning basketball?
Trae’s defense isn’t as bad as people here think. Even Hawk’s fans think that Trae’s defense is better than Dejounte’s as of late.
Please god let this happen.
It would make more sense to trade for Young and give up a haul for him. Build around Dejounte, stop running 2 point guards together. Give us 1.
Stop im already cumming
