The Atlanta Hawks May Have to Consider Trading Trae Young

The Atlanta Hawks May Have to Consider Trading Trae Young

So Jarvis we just had a happy conversation you know we started the party off the way it should be because I feel like it’s still happy times and party days and fow Branch from what we’re hearing in these first returns from the coordinators and rounding out Raheem Morris’s staff which I could tell

You the same was coming from downtown not not yeah still angry from last night sure am uhuh still angry as my yeah as my boy deshan Tate put it in our lock on postcast the birds got got by the bees and it was just it was I know it’s corny

But it was true it was corny but it was true and it’s really one of those situations where Jarvis it was we used every cliche that is out right now the math ain’t math make it make sense nah bro bro what’s going on I mean we literally went down

The rabbit hole it was so bad J it was so bad and then uh to follow up on that just if you guys know Jarvis and I then you know that we are super cool and bosz and buddies with our guys Andy Bucker and Randy McMichael and uh they

Literally said we’d like to extend our condolences to utra to have to cover the Hogs this year that’s where we are that’s that’s how middling and frustrating a situation we find ourselves in yet again because drivers get this not only are we at a point where the Hawks are heading into this

Allstar break seven games under five 00 having lost to a team that had only beaten 12 other teams this year or 11 teams because you they beat you once before so there’s that back in October but yeah literally we’re going into that and this is get this this is the worst

Record the Hawks are taking into the All-Star break in the last five seasons last five seasons that’s where we are we’re not even middling anymore Jarvis that’s how bad it is and so at this point there’s a lot of conversation a lot of speculation a lot of commentary

On where in the world do these hwks go next because of course we’re now also beyond the trade deadline so there was an article that talked about being bored by the NBA trade deadline because you know maybe not a lot happened for your particular team the Hawks in particular

We know didn’t make any moves and some of the bigger moves like Pascal cakam which he was one of the guys that everybody was gunning for ends up with the Pacers and um not really a lot of exciting moves from there right well enter the chat Trey young and it’s right

Now you got multiple conversations what I hate that term but anyway yeah you got that uh you you but that that’s what’s happening right now like one of the more recent ones and I wanted to add to that as well something I heard just this morning one was it’s

More likely the that the Lakers will be the ones maybe pursuing that younger star to compliment LeBron James and Anthony Davis might that be Atlanta’s Trey young now a couple of Eastern Conference execs are saying hey he might be available a western conference EXA even said I think they would love to

Trade Trey meaning the Hawks and at this point I kind of likened it to this Jarvis and and I’m gonna kind of fall back and hear from what you have to say oh let me just add the other team and then I want to hear what you have to say

But at this point I feel like there’s no middle ground right you’re either gonna like crap the bed and just go on and tank your little self out and rebuild or you’re going to go all guns blazing and try to ascend to the top of the Eastern Conference I don’t think there’s any

Middle Ground anymore I mean you’ve been middling for quite some time now now there was some speculation out there even this morning that maybe the Spurs are interested in pairing Trey young with Victor wanyama but that’s probably the one that has the least traction because word is that that wouldn’t be a

Good fit for okay will let just be real Greg papovich just in terms of yeah how he likes to approach his game and the the players that work for him in in his system but Jarvis at this point where are you I mean do you think the Hawks

Should trade him why would the Hawks love to trade Trey young I mean where are you where given where we are now for me the the number one question that needs to be answered when it comes to this team how can you get better and

And when it comes can you get or can you get better I feel you can here’s how this may sound crazy people might look at me and say Jarvis you don’t know what the hell you talking about or you you should stop doing sports I’m not gonna

Stop doing sports first of all and secondly this is how they get better they might have to just trade trade because here’s the thing you got a point guard right here in Jon Murray and he’s not that valuable on the market giv what you traded for him already because you

Already made a mistake by giving up three first round picks for him now granted I know he was all defensive guy and all that stuff but it just that was that that was a lot that was a lot and and now you don’t have you can’t think

About um tanking because shoot the dog on San Antonio gonna re the benefit of that you know you know in 2025 starting they gonna reach benefit of that so you can’t go that route so here’s the thing who has the most value on your team right now people just starting to

Realize that Trey young is a really good basketball player oh he actually tries on defense now oh we might be able to work with that yeah okay Boston um y’all got two superstars y got two guys that play the same position how about we give you Trey you give us Jaylen Brown we

Pair Jaylen brown with dejonte Murray that that backp a little bit different that Wing Spot is a little bit different different now now we talking about okay we can have some serious conversation about getting better I that’s the only route that I see the hwks getting better

Is think about Trey and Trey young see what’s out there and and I and I really really like Trey I love Trey I love what I love his growth and everything what he’s been able to do since he’s been here but if we’re talking about answering that number one question how

Do you get better it doesn’t you can’t get better by trading to Jay Murray all that is you may might be able to get a first round pick yeah is that Gonna Get You better probably not probably not not in the immedi not in the immediate so I

Think that if you’re trying to immediately win games and you saying you know what what would you be willing to offer you know Landry Fields because Landry Fields it’s time for him to put his stamp on his team I’ve been saying this like all this stuff is that’s that’s

Going on with the team right now Travis slank did it right or wrong you know jayen Johnson that was a right he he got that one right for sure I’ll give you ano conu as well well absolutely I definitely give him that absolutely but anao ain’t got no no real value you

Better so hey you develop keep him you know develop him in your system and get them right like so for me I just feel like if if I hate to I hate to have to go that route but if the Hawks want to get better if that is the number one

Goal just to get better right they have to seriously consider um Trey and Trey but I think that’s the question do they really want to because right I think it is yeah you want something oh I’m with you I’m with you I’m I’m not sure I’m not sure because remember last week’s

Statement was the r word resulting oh gosh they said they weren’t focused on resulting I looked up the definition of resulting exactly please help me out yeah yeah occurring or following as the consequence of something that’s the definition of resulting like literally talking of a general election and the resulting

Political uncertainty meaning you do something and then there should be an occurrence or something that happens he said they’re not focused on resulting they’re F really focused on developing so that’s why I say it not to be disrespectful and not to be rude or or anything I am simply saying by

Definition of resulting you’re saying that’s not what you’re necessarily going for and that people get too bogged down in it well then that tells me that that’s not the focus and that’s why I said I think it’s trending more towards a rebuild because if you’re not resulting then that means you’re not

Trending in the direction of trying to catch the Celtics or you’re not trending in the direction of trying trying to catch um uh the bucks bucks yeah or or the Sixers when Joel embiid is in the lineup basically your top tier teams and the heat when they go you know on their

Deeper season they gonna go on the Run that’s why exactly that’s why I always put up there I’m like what they look like today people don’t even pay attention to it yeah but that’s why I question it because that statement spoke volumes and again you and I were never

Of the mindset that Deonte Murray should just be tossed out out there just because so you could say hey we made a trade we did something but Jarvis here’s what last night did and before we wrap up you and I just got to talk about this real quick last night was another great

Example of how resulting can’t you’re right resulting is not the focus the focus must be development of some sort because resulting if you thought about it it would have said to you I have to go get somebody like it may be a third Stringer we know we don’t really talk in

Strings in in in basketball but hear me out out here it may be here’s Clint slash here’s Ana but it’s got to darn sure be somebody between Ana and Bruno because because that ain’t that ain’t that ain’t it and so knowing that Clint capella was already injured and injury

Prone yeah knowing that you took an L on Jaylen Johnson for five weeks who would be like your emergency center if you will right that means all you can rely on his Ana you were stacked in your back court you have Kobe buffkin and the m

Boys and all of those other you’ve got us stacked enough so that if Trey goes down you got bogey you know even though I know Kobe’s young with it but I’m just saying like you your back court is you have a body ories potential exactly but what do you

Have in case your front goes down lo and behold your front Court went down Clint capella is returning to practice when Allstar break wraps up they didn’t say games they said returning to practice Ana oku was called out on Tuesday after the MRI results to be evaluated in 7 to

10 days so you won’t even be evaluated until the 20th or somewhere between the 20th and the 23rd which means that you’re probably not coming back in the month of February that’s where we are Jarvis I just had to put that out there just in terms of asking the bigger

Question of what is it that you’re really G gaming for because now you find yourself in a situation and it played out last night although it was really the backc court of the Hornets that smoked the hell out of the Hawks ultimately speaking there were so many

Moments in that game where it was clear that you are suffering now that you don’t have a lot of front court support yeah that Bruno Fernando situation last night was atrocity it was trash yeah that was awful like they’re trying to take advantage of a weakness obviously with

The charlot Hornet down low obviously there was a weakness there but oh my God they used Bruno Fernando to try to do it like like just an entry pass to he couldn’t even yeah it was yeah there it is yeah yeah that’s all on you that’s yep ex there no there it is

Exactly and but we we talk about no no exactly but you’re absolutely right it stops the buck stops at the front office and the buck stops of the ownership I I know that they don’t necessarily want to put that money out there like that but Jarvis is like you said if winning is

Really the goal or resulting is the goal in some way shape or form then there have maybe have to be some resets in the approach anyway when we come back we’re going to talk about another reset a shocking reset of an approach that we’ve been actually talking about on a number

Of our shows the last few weeks and it’s now touched down right here in our backyard we’re going to talk about it in the around the Metro coming up next

Trae Young’s name has been flying around in trade rumors post the NBA trade deadline. The Atlanta Hawks also are coming off probably the worst loss of the season against the Charlotte Hornets. The team talked about whether or not the Hawks want to win.
