Until Atlanta actually breaks up its backcourt, it feels safe to consider both Murray and Trae Young as realistic trade candidates. And if the Hawks want to maximize their return, it might behoove them to move the more coveted Murray, who isn't nearly as ball-dominant and could be an asset instead of a liability on defense. Murray could be an incredible complement to LaMelo Ball, and the age gap between them isn't enormous (five years). Each could create shots for the other, and Murray would tackle the defensive assignments in the backcourt Ball couldn't handle. Tack on Brandon Miller, a hopefully healthy Mark Williams and whomever the Hornets select with the upcoming No. 6 pick, and that's an intriguing nucleus with some really interesting high-end outcomes potentially ahead of it. As for the Hawks, they need to have fans of these three incoming players in their front office to make this work, but that's at least possible. Williams could increase the frontcourt's versatility, Richards could soak up backup minutes whenever Atlanta finds a taker for Clint Capela, and Smith could blossom as an instant-offense sub sooner than later. Throw in a pair of lightly protected picks—Miami's 2027 first becomes unprotected in 2028 if it doesn't convey—and Atlanta either has the shelves restocked for a youth movement or perhaps boasts the assets needed to get Young a new co-star.
