Fair. So if you were the GM would you make a call or no?
honestly, i would not. He is not that transcendant
Does he have to be transcendent to make a call? Couldn't he just be better than what we have in our backcourt currently. Even if you wouldn't offer what I said. You would;t see what the price is?

The Pacers, meanwhile, have added shooting by the bucketload. So have the Kings.
One thing I’ve noticed is that ring chasing veterans aren’t racing to join either of Trae or Luka just yet despite both having recent conference finals appearances. I think both will be powerful forces in the league in the future, but maybe they’re not recognised as being ready to win with a team yet?

Tiny PGs are fools gold. Just like perimeter Cs. They’ll put up stats but your team is guaranteed to go nowhere.
There are many studs that get traded. This year alone.
We've seen it takes more than 2 really good players to be elite. (Dallas, WAS, ATL, LAC, LAL, MIN, etc.)
There is a difference between a player demanding a trade and a team simply willing to trade someone. Hawks know Trae is not winning anything if he’s your best player or even just a starter. Hopefully Magic know that too and don’t do anything stupid.

This would be as lopsided as when the Lakers traded Kwame Brown for Paul Gasol. Always worth a re-watch.
(( The funny thing about the trade is that it was Gasol's brother than changed the Griz fortunes in this ))

I don't think they need to rebuild and blow it up, but there is clear need for retool and roster reconstruction.

So Trae gets the hawks farthest they’ve even been in their history and just two years later before he’s even in his prime they now think he can’t even be a starter? Lol

Well they are open to trading him so that pretty much answers your question. Not sure what point you’re even trying to make.
But sure Trae is incredibly amazing and his team is ok with trading him just because. Imagine if we traded TMac and Dwight because we actually wanted to lmao. Actual franchise players might demand a trade but their team is never really willing to trade them. This isn’t that hard to follow

I'm concerned about this as well. Undeniable scoring talent, his defense is awful but i feel like a switching team with length can maybe make up for it, the got the ECF. For me between the issue with the coaches, other players, fit, timing. Just doesn't feel right to. IDK could be fine.
EDIT: Additionally are we better after giving up whatever version of the farm looks like? Because thats what they'll ask for.
they made the ECF, and then next year got bounced bad by Miami and this year barely made playoffs. that ECF like a big fluke

I'd add Hunter to their home grown support players.
