The Atlanta Hawks are going into the season with high hopes for their roster. If things get off to a rocky start, however, would they consider a blockbuster trade and move on from Trae Young? An obvious trade partner may have just emerged in the Houston Rockets.
Trae Young and the Hawks have been together for all seven seasons of Young's career, and in that time he has been to four All-Star games, elevating himself up the ladder of greatest Hawks in franchise history. Yet at the same time, his limitations on defense and as an off-ball player have prevented Atlanta from building elite playoff rosters, and the Hawks have been to the playoffs just three times in his career.
