Inspiration is there

This one makes more sense than Rj to Philly easily but still flawed

Last time it was an extreme Trae underpay

This time I matched good value and added young pieces (Reed,JSJ,Picks)

Hawks will rebuild and push for picks and better players if this was an offseason plan I'd do this deal or a deal to the magic for young pieces and picks

But this deal makes sense for a rockets team that just made the top 2 seed in the west ready to contend and make it deep they add Trae and make a medium sized dent in their depth

Their lineup would be pretty good and so would their bench unit

(Trae-Green-Amen-Eason-Sengun)

(FVV-Holiday-Whitmore-Landale-Adams)

The hawks would look more like

(Daniels-Mann-Brooks-JSJ-Okongwu)

(Sheppard-Levert-Niang-Gueye-Barlow)

Other factors play into why they wouldn't and would do this

Money management,Draft stock,Upside/Potential,etc.
