What about KAT, Jaden McDaniels and Wendell Moore Jr, for Trae Young and Jalen Johnson.
Why for the Wolves. Move Naz to starting PF, Jalen Johnson becomes starting SF, move Conley to the bench and now you have Young and Ant as one of the best backcourts in the NBA. Gets Ant off the ball and Trae will create for him. Speeds up the offense and adds playmaking. Trae becomes Ant’s PG of the future.
Why for Atlanta. Instead of a rebuild you move Murray to the PG and now have a more reliable offensive weapon in KAT, a reliable defensive weapon in Jaden (whose offense is developing and will be a legit 15-20 on effective scoring as a third option.) You can move Capella and start Okongwu next to KAT, or keep Capella and start Capella next to KAT. Atlanta gets to play big ball with Murray, Bogdonovic, McDaniels, KAT, and Capella/Okongwu. Size is winning now and Atlanta gets a ton of it.
P.S, To those who say KAT is not worth Trae, Jaden is enough of an upgrade over Jalen Johnson to bridge the difference.
