Man he is more than struggling. They are a borderline bottom 10 offensively despite having a starting lineup of
I’ve watched more basketball then years you’ve been on earth son!!!
Do Trae and Collins even want to be there? Lol I know Collins doesn’t and Trae is having his worst year ever, worse than Mitchell’s last year.
I believe you are 100 percent right.
Yet the one thing Trae is supposed to be elite at, scoring, SGA is also better at than him.
What are pills?
“Do you have any health problems?”
You are correct, you don't understand at all what I meant
Trae "feels" expendible after the Murray pick up, who is at least the same tier as a playmaker despite not being the shooter, and is clearlyt a massive upgrade to Trae defensively. Even if the Hawks genuine intention was to cover for Trae defensively pairing him with Murray, the minute they started playing together you could see the pairing was going to fail. One of them will be moved , and although Murray wopuld be easier to move.My guess is Trae is the one pushing for a move if they cannot start winning soon. He had too much success early on before the Harden rule which could have easily been the Young rule.
Right he won't be easily moved but imo your thinking is the wrong reason. It is since they are not doing well, and his stock is down, that he won't be traded because of how the league sees him now, not because he did something well enough before the Harden rule took effect, that he has not been able to do since then. still a great floor general, but such a liability defensively that without those extra points from charity shots, and the ability to keep space once those defenders are avoiding benching themselves, isn't there nearly enough. He is expendible with Murray on that roster even if Murray is the one they end up having to move because Trae is paid more than he is worth as is. No chance the Hawks are not thinking about it anyway. - and little chance the Hawks get anything close to what Danny got for Rudy, especially when trades like that look like overpays right now.
You are underrating Trae’s value sooooo bad!! He’s one of the best pg’s in the game and still very young. He single handedly got that pathetic roster to the eastern finals. He’s just off to a slow start.
I am guessing you don't understand what I said at all smh
They need to just be patient and figure it out. I suspect things will be much better next year. Look at Wade and LBJ, even Mitchell and Conley in Conley’s first year. But any way you look at it and no matter how bad Atl might want to trade him they aren’t just going to give him away. He’s too good. Two years ago some experts were starting to question whether Luka was actually the better player or if Trae had closed the gap in some circles.

If they can get a decent return for Collins at the deadline by adding a veteran 2 guard like JC that demands more offensive attention, outside the arc than Dejounte does, then maybe they can just staggar Trae and Murray as needed. It is part of why many think Utah is a Collins destination option.But the numbers only add up if the Jazz send out Mike not JC. I think there is a chance the Jazz target Dejounte for JC if they can get him by attaching one of the firsts they got in previous deals.
