Ryen Russillo talks about the rumors regarding Trae Young possibly being the next NBA star to request a trade, why the Hawks should consider moving Trae, and why they ultimately probably won’t.

Trade him for sha in OKC and trade John Collins for wiseman 🔥
Ryan is overlooking the most important reason why the offense is predictable…no one else on the team commands a double team or breaks down defenders off the dribble. Murray is good but he's also a smallish guard. The teams that are better than them all have at least one guy 6"7 or taller who can create in the half court. So with the Hawks there is no inside attack w/o the pick n roll. I'm so sick of hearing about DeAndre Hunter. He's a bust. He's the new Marvin Williams. The lob is the only go-to offense they have and that's not Trae's fault.
Ryen: im not gonna argue with the counting stats people
Also Ryen: reads off a bunch of counting stats
Honest question as I haven't followed the Hawks. What's wrong with Trae? He's 27/3/10 and Atlanta is looking to be a playoff team. Why would they trade their star player?
Trae for OG and some picks from Toronto
Trade him to the Lakers.
The problem to me, is that whoever trades for him is probably trying to add a piece to make a push for the chip, and if your team isn’t tailor made around trae, it’s just not gonna work
Trae is a selfish pass-first player
“He wants to play this way”. Says who? Other than in the assumptions of others, what actual proof do we have that Trae Young wants play in an offense where only 1-5 pNr is run while everyone else stands around and watches?
The nba wants Trae to be in a major market so damn bad
The problem with Trae is he needs that ball all the time to create offense…..he can't even set screens and do off-ball movement to help his team in offense
"Anonymous sources" are more harm than help. I could care less about trade RUMORS, only trades.
Should Dallas trade Luka both teams are literally the same. Come on Ryan smh 🤦🏻🤦🏽♂️
To me either Miami or the Lakers would be the best spot for Trae
Don’t trade Trae. Trade Collins and hunter and dump that head coach nate
Trae's main problem is that he doesn't know how to run an offense or is just too selfish to do it consistently. Also despite how many assist he gets or fouls he draws, he has overall low basketball IQ. He basically plays with all instincts, no strategy. Add in having a coach with zero offensive imagination, and you recipe for an average at best team.
Good take. Feels like the absolute polar opposite situation with the Nuggets where Jokic as a big AND a talented passer not only entrenched in the offense (every 2 man man he's wiling to screen for) but the ball feels alive every time he directs the flow of the offense with his decision making. Plus the rest of his teammates are constantly reinforced with what works that they directing the ball to spot up shooters, cutters or even lobs to Gordon/Brown. Best part Jokic rarely dominates the ball and he can still make a difference on both ends of the floor.
Why trade for Levine? Same player, i.e. no defense.
YESSS PLEASEEE HE IS SO FKING GARBAGE!! Hawks made the dumbest draft trade in history this 3ft bald lollipop is garbage
I think he’s overrated, still a valuable piece but I could see some team greatly overpaying to get him
I would love to see the Clippers get into this potential trade opportunity. I have no idea how but the Clippers could use a shot in the arm and they have the veteran stars, Tyronne Lue, and the organizational structure to get him to buy in a optimize his talent.
