  1. If Trae couldn’t make it work with that cast in Atlanta, I don’t have faith he’s going to lead anywhere. Trae as a third option is probably where he makes the most impact. But I don’t think he’ll go for that.

  2. Washington ain’t far off. Alex Sarr is gonna be an elite 2 way big and Trae is the perfect guy to unlock him offensively. They drafted a ton of wings like Tre Johnson and Coulibaly and if they develop right Trae would be surrounded by a ton of defensive talent. IMO Trae could drag that team to the play in this season and next off-season they’d be a move or two away from contending.

  3. The fact that the hawks did request a trade for mpj to play with trae and their real friends. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Brooklyn or if Brooklyn is on his list

  4. Trae Young is 6’0 and 180 he is a great defender for that size and he took that leap of playing passing lines and increasing his IQ on defense under Quin Snyder …. Some of the takes are just repetitive lies from people who don’t watch the actual games

  5. According to Parsons: Trae is best when people play defense for him and others take “the offensive scoring off him”.

    Trae Young is a good player when he doesn’t have to score or play defense. Niiiice 👌

  6. Trae Young may actually be looking to just get paid right now. Hear me out! Trae is still Young lol no pun intended, but anyways I'm sure he understands that this maybe he's last chance to cash in on a big contract. And after the contract is close to ending then he'll look to play for a championship. I don't think he wants to take a big pay cut.

  7. As a magic fan, keep that dude far away from us. Our identity is built around defense, and he would absolutely collapse that. We desperately need a legit playmaker, but no thanks bro.

  8. Everybody keep saying what would work. But nobody is doing the damn math. Trae makes 46mil. That means any team he gets traded to is adding 46mil to the Cap.

    With the 1st and 2nd Aprens in place a lot of teams just cant afford to add that 46mil.

    Plus they have to come within 125% of Trae's 46mil in return salary to the Hawks in that trade.

    So who is Orlando sending back the Hawks way to make the math work? Or any team that they mentioned. What players are they willing to caugh up?

    I love players analysis but trades and matching money isnt their lane.

  9. The perfect trade teams to me are Bucks, Orlando, Miami and Minnesota. Giannis need help, Orlando could benefit from his scoring, Miami needs a scoring point guard since jimmy days, Conley is done in Minnesota and he could help Antman

  10. There is NO team that would benefit from having this 2ft hobbit playing defense for them. Every team chandler named, were young developing defense minded teams, with defense minded players. A trae young there would just stunt the growth like he’s doing in atlanta. This migdet needs to go to the chinese league (not even trying to be funny), to may e get a stephon marbury type of gracefull career finish
