I'm wondering how far this is.

Kessler
Sexton
Clarkson
for
Trae

1. The Hawks are going to want way more for Trae (even though I think this value is fair as I don't like Trae)
2. The Hawks need to trade Trae because Murray is way too tiny to play SG... Sexton is even tinier. Sexton is basically a stronger, more explosive Trae Young who is much much worse at passing.

I do think Kessler to the Hawks has potential this offseason. I assume the Hawks want to dump Capela, but Okongwu is way too small so they would want a bigger center.

The Hawks probably won't trade Trae for less than 3-4 good firsts and a really good player in his prime (so they won't trade him)

I have this as 3-4 firsts off as well as needing either a third team or a follow up trade or two. Kessler doesn’t make sense with Capela and OO and getting one of Sexton or Clarkson makes sense but not both (gotta have Murray, Bogdan, and Bufkin minutes to account for).

I don’t think Trae fits with what the Jazz are going for either. I didn’t watch them much this season but I remember them being a fairly unselfish team last season. If that is still true, Trae may make things weird there.

Trae is a massively better passer/team player than every guy on our roster, lol.

We were pretty much the worst passing team in the NBA. Kris Dunn was the only pass first player on the roster.

Capela is definitely gone from the Hawks I would say so they really need a center as Okongwu just hasn't been very good for them.

I think you have Trae's value MUCH higher than I do. Unless you are saying the Jazz package has negative value, in which case you have the Jazz package worth MUCH less than I do.

More power to ATL if they can get 4 firsts and a collection of useful players though.

Trae's value is probably pretty low right now around the league, but there's no way the Hawks trade him for limited value so they'll just not trade Trae.

My trade might be light in value. But, I would pull out quickly if the ask moved much higher, happy to let another team win the bidding.

Yeah i think this is way too good for the Jazz. They'd need to add a lot more than this. I also dont think the Hawks should trade Trae without getting their picks back from the Spurs.

Spurs and Magic amongst others will easily outbid OP

OP should also list why Atlanta want to do that trade

I thought we locked threads that had no rationale?

Or is that only for new posters?

OP feel free to repost with reasons per board rules. If you don’t have a fully baked idea the random thoughts thread is a perfect spot/
