I don't see anyone realistic that upgrades their chances to win and I don't see Trae being content feeling like he can't win. If they went rebuild between Trae and Dejounte, they could get a nice haul.
Let's say the rebuilding teams this off-season are Chicago, Toronto and Washington... which players would be upgrades from those teams for Atlanta?
Atlanta can add Lauri or Bridges without trading Trae, Jalen, or Murray.. If you trade Murray and your picks, you can land a better star..
Atlanta should definitely explore ways to win a title before ways to get to tank for 5 years.
I can't imagine an acceptable direct trade between Atlanta and Utah for Lauri that doesn't include either Johnson or Trae. Their only hope is getting assets by trading their other guys, but I don't think many of them have a ton of value.
I don’t know if it would be a direct trade or not..so I can accept it would have to be a three te trade.
But Atlanta has their own 2029 and 2031 firsts and two clean swaps in 28/30, they have two 2024 firsts, or will be able to trade Sacs 2025 first.. Griffin, Kobe Bufkin.. whichever of Capela/Bogdan/OO that they use for salary matching will add value..
