According to multiple media reports, after an unexpected pick this year, the Hawks plan to break up their current All-Star backcourt combination in an attempt to rebuild their competitiveness. At the same time, many media and experts are also actively offering advice to them and proposing some feasible trading plans.
For example, the American media "Sporting News" wrote an article suggesting that the Los Angeles Lakers promote a 6-for-1 trade plan to bring in Trae Young, the Hawks' All-Star point guard:
Eagles sent - Trae Young
The Lakers sent out Hachimura, Reaves, Vincent, a 2024 first-round pick, a 2029 first-round pick, and a 2031 first-round pick
Despite both James and Davis' excellent performances, the Lakers made it back in the first round for the second year in a row, both of which were lost to the Denver Nuggets, and it turned out that they needed to bring in a third star to be more competitive.
Trae Young has played 54 games for the Hawks this season, averaging 25.7 points and 10.8 rebounds per game while shooting 43 percent overall and 37.2 percent from three-point range. Averaging 3.2 three-pointers per game, as an All-Star point guard, his breakthrough ability, organizational ability, and projection ability are among the top ranks in the league, and he can undoubtedly provide enough support for James and Davis as a third star, and after James retires in the future, the combination of him and Davis can also help the Lakers maintain competitiveness.
For the Hawks, both Hachimura and Reaves are in their prime and on short-term contracts, and they have a variety of options, whether they can trade draft picks, trade chips or free up salary space, and the three first-round picks can provide a lot of leverage for the team's future rebuilding or bringing in big-name stars.
Overall, this looks like a win-win deal. So what do you think as a fan? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and say your opinion!
