NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[SleepingHero]

If I am Hawks GM I am looking right now to trade Trae Young. His value is never going to be higher. His defense is horrible and his offensive game lacks dimensions, and can be schemed for in playoffs. He was surrounded by a great group of players and all of the seasons besides one he cant get Hawks being competitive and entering the playoffs. I see the last season as an anomaly due to covid and that played out well for them at the end with all injuries to other teams etc. Not that I think we should trade for him. In general they seem to be willing for trades. Some of their other players are interesting for potential trades.

Could you imagine going to your owner and trying to sell the idea you should trade your 22 year old all-star point guard who just led you to the ECF because his defense sucks?

I mean all your critiques are valid of Trae. None of which are big enough blockades to justify moving off of him though.
