I mean the hawks need a primary playmaker with assuming their really young rim running anchor and Jalen at this point is better as a secondary playmaker than a primary. For all the people bringing up Trae and Wemby being a duo, Trae and Sarr can work really well.

[@milothebest6165]

Trae un Orlando makes a lot of sense!!!!🔥

[@William_Stephens]

Hawks aren’t trading Trae young to the Lakers for a bunch of scraps. SMH . Hawks need to keep Murray and draft Sarr to pair with Trae . Sar averages double digits just walking into the court with Trae Young. Keeping Trae maximizes the Sarr pick and picking Sarr to play center is the ideal build for a Trae Young counterpart .

[@Shortballa11]

Nobody believes Sarr or anyone in this draft is a superstar. They need to trade Murray and Trae. Then develop Sarr, Jalen Johnson, Okongwu, AJ Griffin, and Kobe Bufkin to their full potential. And use the rest of the draft picks to find another superstar when this group is ready to contend.

[@kicknation8103]

[@levisportsxandcards]

I feel like are extremely undervaluing Trae and what he can do for teams. He’s one of the best passers in the league, has improved as a defender, and can score at will. We’ve been waiting for the Hawks to add an elite big man, and they now have the opportunity to do that with Sarr. If he gets traded, especially for one of these packages, I’d be absolutely shocked. Atlanta isn’t moving Trae or Dejounte unless they get blown away from an offer.

[@drew388]

maybe but yet we won a higher % of games this season while he was injured. im a huge trae fan. but after he hurt his wrist and we won more games you have to consider empty stats

[@Velo3158]

Spurs are absolutely, positively, 1026% NOT giving up 2025 ATL picks in a stronger draft with no restrictions. That would be a termination offense for Brian Wright. Also Trae would not work with the Spurs O or D.

Spurs not in charge, Wemby is. This is a players league now. Wemby will get what Wemby wants. Same as every other star in the league last 10 years.

[@dameau6325]

We're not trading him away. Everyone on the outside who don't watch our games is trying to convince themselves that we want to move Trae. DJM is the odd man out not Trae. Listen to actual hawks reporters like Brad Rowland ,locked on hawks, and you'll see what the real deal is

[@Enlightened_SpursFan]

Okongwu aint never gon be a starter 💀

[@drivenrc]

Casuals still think Trae Young is gettin traded 😂….DJ might get traded bc his contract is easier to move. Talking about Trae getting traded makes for a great ClickBait video but realistically it’s not happening. In fact, CC and Hunter is probably getting traded before those 2 do especially with the number 1 pick more than likely being Alex Sarr. Remember Hawks fans. Trae Young got you to the ECF without a real number 2. DJ look good on those game winners during the season but couldn’t get you pass the play in tournament. The biggest issue with this Hawks team has been Hunter, Jaylon health and not staying on the floor plus Clint has declined greatly.

[@I.am_Groot]

It is quite possible to make an argument against Trae being traded without being a pompous azz. That I am sure of

[@dameau6325]

​@@I.am_Grootit's because hawks fans are tired of casual trying to convince themselves that Trae was ever available.

I'm not a huge Trae Young fan, I think undersized players eventually just get weeded out in the playoffs at best, but I think a Spurs trade would be interesting. Maybe the way to get away with him is to have the biggest interior player in the league. A Trae Wemby pick n roll would be dangerous.

[@Mhollette]

Hawks hang up the phone instantly with all of these trades. The asking price is gonna be crazy high for Trae. Even if you don’t rate Trae Young as a player, Trae is the first star the hawks have had in 30 years and the reason why their arena sells out every game. If he’s sold hawks make less money and their owners are known for being tight. There’s no way they trade Trae unless he requests or trade or a team massively overpays (like the PG-SGA trade)

[@Iso_SSB]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hawks run it back again, with sarr, maybe make some moves in the off season. I could see them being pretty good

The Magic can is the only team that can trade for Trae Young. They have 5 first over the next 3 years, alot of money, and young talent to trade as well.

[@adamlord6332]

I like the Nets trade. Indifferent to the Lakers and Pels. Spurs is never going to happen and Trae to the Magic would be a bad move. But honestly I don't think he's gonna get traded. Makes more sense to deal Capela and DM and just build around Trae plus JJ, Okongwu and the 1st pick

[@lvmsoundwave2923]

Don’t think Ingram is coming off the bench. Pelicans would have to trade him too, they should anyway.

[@smokeyeasleyTV]

The best teams in the league are literally teams that kept their youth and developed them. Why would we get rid of Trae for anything really. Not very many guaranteed 25/10 under 26 players out there

[@Smido83]

Lakers Trade makes no sense for Atlanta. Not even close to be enough Value. At least 2 more 1st are needed. Spurs is more realistic. But Keldon Johnson + 8th pick + all ATL picks makes more sense for both teams. So New Orleans with a Trae Young/McCollum Backcourt? Havent we seen a similar Backcout before? Does Young make Brooklyn a true Contender? I dont think that. So I dont see why Brooklyn should do that. Orlando makes the most sense so far. They need a true PG and the team is so good defensively, that they can hide Young.

[@The_IcemaN_723]

The Pelicans trade makes both teams better, IMO.

[@robojimtv]

NGL i don't hate the Pels trade

[@JKLauderdale]

Lakers would be the best place for Trae, he'd have a dominant leader in LeBron, something he's never had before. IMO, this could be a similar move to what we saw when Doc Rivers went to Philly and Embiid finally got in shape. Trae's too focused on scoring and showboating, he's a known issue in the locker room. His coach suspended him for a game and he went home to play video games and pout rather than support his team on game night. It's that reason alone that I think Pop and most other coaches will hesitate to bring him in - LA is really the only place that could make it work

[@danielwalker875]

Jazz could be an interesting option. Get him without trading your own picks and Colin sexton a young piece (or drafts picks this year) and salary filler plus picks.

[@shadykiwi13]

Idk why they would trade Trae over Dejounte. Trae is a much better floor spacer and lob passer which would pair a lot better with Sarr

[@nicobade8347]

Trae Young is the best player the Hawks have had in 20 years, why trade him away and rebuild just to get a player who will be around his level anyway? The Hawks made the post season most of the last few years, with the no. 1 pick there's much better potential to reconstruct this roster and become an actual contender with Trae Young

[@Alwaysallenc]

I think Orlando would be a good spot, if they didn't give up alot like Franz. They can make up for the defense and need his 3 ball

[@WillCopley]

Spurs have already said they don’t want Trae I thought?

[@gaugeengeron834]

I love/hate the pelicans trade. I hate to see B.I. leave. But we desperately need a guard upgrade. The only way I see this working is CJ would absolutely have to go. I see Trae coming to the pelicans is the pelicans would have to throw in a pick or 2 for security if B.I. were to leave. Not terrible but I’m not how sure we get that much better with him. Ppg would definitely go up but I’m not sure about the pelicans making a deeper playoff run with Trae then this year.

[@MNPhantom]

I'd say the only question mark with trae's trade value is his defense? He's a fringe all nba caliber player that brought a bummy hawks team to the Eastern Conference Finals? He has elite play making and can space the floor. I guess another question mark is his ability to play off the ball if hes joining another super star but I mean.. His value is really high.

[@frankgori9582]

I'd like to see the Lakers do a sign and trade for Lebron, for their sake and for Lebron's. Build around Russel and AD with a better defense oriented coach. Anchor the defense around AD and the offense around D-Lo.

Thanks for talking about the interesting situation in Atlanta, but I disagree with all of these trades. Obviously the destinations make sense (well only the first two IMO) but why on earth would the hawks take 4 players and 1 first for Trae...? The whole point of trading Trae is to get picks back... not role players. That wouldn't make sense, however, the Spurs situation would. Getting their own picks would be valuable to the team. Pelicans trade simply doesn't make sense, Ingram for Trae just wouldn't fly. And the last trade with the nets, 2 first round picks from Phoenix...? Like what... those are going to be late first rounders if they don't blow up the team. Very weird situation. As a Hawks fan, hoping they keep Trae, dump Hunter & Clint, and take Sarr. I would love Murray staying but I believe one would have to go. The Hawks have never given Trae star teammates, maybe drafting one would change things (depending if we're high on Sarr or not).
