Just imagine how much better off we'd be today, if Travis had traded some draft capital to move up and select Jalen Williams vs moving 3+ draft picks for undersized DeJounte Murray.

It's official. JW is already better than Dejounte.

If Hawks had chosen to trade up for Jalen Williams instead of trading the farm for Dejounte Murray, this franchise would be in a much better place right now. Travis would likely still be here, we'd still have most of our future picks, we wouldn't be in the salary cap crunch we're currently in, and Trae/Jalen/Jalen/Okongwu is a helluva core that projects well enough to contend for years to come.
