Hoops Wire on Kevin Durant<\/p>\n
The Hawks pairing Durant with Young would give Atlanta two lethal scorers with unlimited range. Is that what Atlanta is missing? Well, it never hurts to have talent, especially players who are extremely tough to gameplan for.<\/p>\n
Plus, Durant might be able to show Young a thing or two, helping the four-time All-Star live up to his full potential by witnessing the work ethic of a future Hall of Famer. Hawks ownership may or may not be intrigued by the idea of trading for Durant, but what will the team\u2019s new president of basketball operations want?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s always the possibility that Hawks ownership will force their new decision-maker to make an all-out effort for Durant, but if that\u2019s their plan, they may want to hurry up as trade talks increase around the league.<\/p>\n
