I like Trae more than most. I am a fan of the floor raising offesnsive quarterback archetype. Trae led multiple top ten offenses in Atlanta on teams that imo didn't have a dearth of offensive talent. I think that has value.
However, I keep coming back to Houston having the number one offense in the league. Why am I spending assets on an offensive floor raiser? I have Sengun and Durant. I need defense.
I am keep landing on the right type of PG for Houston being a POA defensive difference maker, similar to FVV, who can provide a little ball handling and dribble penetration on the side.
Looking around the league, the only thing close i can find is maybe Suggs or Jrue, and I don't necessarily love both of them.
Does a Suggs to Hou, Trae to Orlando scenario make sense?

Growing increasingly clear that Brandon Miller is out for the season and while I hate Miller personally, this is almost a comical level of bad luck for the Hornets franchise.
Look at this recent draft history
2020: LaMelo
2021: Bouknight
2022: Mark Williams
2023: Brandon Miller
A guy who fails out of the NBA due to alcohol abuse and then three guys who constantly get increasingly absurd injuries.

They keep delaying releasing *any* timeline for Miller and he keeps getting second opinions from doctors.

Orlando can't afford Traes next contract

I doubt Trae gets more than like 3/110 fwiw.

That can't be right.
You think he signs a 2/60 extension?

Bad idea, but is there a Monk + DeRozan for Paul George based deal that makes some sense?
