As good we look without him, any chance we can move Trae for a top-4 pick this summer?

Too far? Too soon?

should we also trade Collins and Capela? Hawks are 7-2 without Collins and 6-2 without Capela?

Maybe we can get 3 first round picks if we trade all three of them?

The Hawks have a plus-2.6 net rating with Young on the bench since the coaching change and have outscored opponents by an incredible 8.3 points per 100 possessions when Bogdanovic plays and Young sits. Bogdanovic has also helped Atlanta go 5-0 in the games Young has missed since the coaching change, averaging 26.8 points and six 3-pointers per game in those wins.
