    I can’t understand why the Mavericks have betting odds. We literally have no place for him. He can’t catch and shoot, and he’d be taking the ball out of Kyrie and Luka’s hands

    As a Spurs fan and San Antonio native, its tempting to want Trae young. He has not been surrounded by great talent and I do give him the benefit of the doubt (hey to each their own). But looking at the team currently constructed and other teams salavating at the Hawks best talent which is comprised of just Trae and Murray, I REALLY want us to hold off on going in on a trade for Trae (and they will not trade for young, it was reported). If either one of these dudes is traded in the off season it seals a top 3 pick for the Spurs. The Hawks are screwed because of the trade the Spurs offered to the Hawks that they took. It will be sooo hard for Hawks fans to watch their team give SA their top pick in next years draft for a dude (Murray, who probably wont even be on the team on draft night), and put him right beside Victor Wembenyama. And the Hawks will have NOTHING to show for their horrible season!

    I might be in the minority, but Trae feels like a bad fit on the Spurs to me. Yes, he is an excellent passer and might unlock a next level Wemby lob threat, but he's also ball dominant, and heavily offensive-oriented compared to defense. I think the Spurs would be better served developing through internal growth of their young core, the draft, and smaller trades, rather than sacrificing their draft picks and other assets for a long-shot bet on a "win-now" move for a disgruntled flawed "basically untradeable" star.

Trae's deal is really bad especially when you consider he hasn't had a good season in 3 years and is still a max guy. I actually think the Pels might not do it cause A they are a cheap organization, never paid luxury tax and B they like to play zion as their PG and its been their best lineup, so bringing in Trae might not work if Zion can't get the ball and becomes more of a pick and roller (which isn't his strong suit)

    I can understand that the Spurs just chill and wait. There is no pressure to win now, build your roster with a solid draft over the next 2 years around wemby and then maybe 1 or 2 good trades. All this talk about wemby needs a wining team now is bs.
    Why should the Spurs make any risky moves now? You know the weakness of your team and can build around it. Better perimeter defense and a good floor general. Trae is none of that. One more offseason with good rookies sounds way more like the spurs way.

    I remember when people first started talking about Atlanta trading Trae Young. I just thought to myself that people aren't really understanding that Trae Young is not well liked around the league by players or coaches. I want to point something out. Atlanta lost almost 40 some odd games within 10 points or less! So they were in all of these games and weren't able to close it out in the end if they had someone like a Carl Anthony or Porzingis which I know is impossible but a player like that or as close to that as possible then they will actually get into the playoffs and be extremely competitive but they need that for sure.

    MN isn’t trading away KAT anytime soon. He’s a key reason why they’re winning. Plus he’s still fairly young and he found his sweet spot as the 2nd best player on the team. The wolves wouldn’t trade away a core player in his prime for a bunch of expendable role players and picks that will turn into more role players. Picks are overrated in the NBA unless it’s in the lottery.

  • @Xiaolongbaokid16
    @Xiaolongbaokid16 Pƙed 14 dny +1

    You didn’t factor in Trae’s unwillingness to still play great basketball for Atlanta. The organization is willing to trade him not just because he’s playing mid, but rather he’s not willing to play it all. He’s very vocal that he wants to get out, and player who wants out of their teams don’t win series and championships. He will be traded to other teams, because if they need to “win now” then they need a player that wants to “win now” not a player that wants to “leave now”.
    Edit: He’ll be better with the Spurs.

    TBH I could see Trae getting traded to the Spurs since he and Wemby both want to win now and are both All-Star/All-NBA players. Though I'd keep Tre Jones as a solid backup since he helps with Young's turnovers and already knows how Wemby works. The trade you mentioned could work, but swap Tre Jones with Malaki Branham or Cedi Osman and the Spurs might be a threat and a half next season.
