    Yeah tough to believe but don’t they have the same agent?

    Just a wild idea

    Grant + Williams to Atlanta

    for Trae Young and 2026 first round pick (they have 2)

    This gets a first for next year. We get a huge expiring contract in Young ($45m) and he can share minutes with Scoot and Jrue next season.

    ESPN Trade Machine approved

    Trae’s expiring will make room for the return of Dame!

    Id keep Grant and hold out for Giannis. Seems just as likely.

    So instead they trade him for a horrible contract?

    If we wanted to go win now I had been pondering if we would go for Trae (I'm not saying one way or another if I would have liked that trade. Just saying it crossed my mind as something we might try for) but that thought went away once the Hawks traded for Porzingis. I think they run it back.

    Trae is basically a slightly better Ant/Sexton/Clarkson.... No thanks.

    I'd much rather honestly just watch 21 year old Scoot and old man Jrue

    Not a Trae Young fan but that's an insane take. Trae averages 10 APG for his CAREER.

    I think this pretty much puts an end to Trae going anywhere at least until the deadline if they suck.

    Guess we'll see this year - Hawks actually have a lot of talent on that squad.

    Damn and Hawks signed Luke Kennard as well.

    Plus they have better lotto odds than any team in the NBA with both the Pelicans and Bucks ping pong balls.

    Murray is a wasted roster spot. I'd rather see Rupert get any minutes that Murray might get.
    Vanderbilt is underrated IMO. He is Tisse plus a few inches of length (don't even say it). If defense is the priority, JV would be a good bench piece. He also handles the ball better than expected.
    Knecht would be nice if they could build his defense to be acceptable and he shoots like expected.
    Kleber and Vincent are both good shooters so I'd say keep one of them for depth and possible filler in trades.

    Yeah, I like Vando and Knecht as bench pieces, they both have had that role and would be coming into the team fresh. I think Jerami provides LA with something none of those guys can give them on both ends of the floor. He could duke it out with Rui for who gets that last starting spot on that team. We can just move the fuck on from all of the guys who seem to be unwilling to play Chauncey's style of ball.

    I think we can forget about the Lakers. They want to preserve cap space for the summer of 2027. Unless Jerami opts out after 2026-2027, I don’t think they want him.
