REPORT: Trae and his agents are working with the Hawks on a trade. Atlanta is looking for expiring contracts in return, sources tell Shams

With the Hawks looking to target expiring contracts, they could possibly look at the Clippers who have a long list of them. Collins and Bogdanovic would have to be in the deal

• A pairing of Harden and Trae would likely see the Clippers have the best playmaking backcourt in the league. A lineup of Trae/Harden/JonesJr/Kawhi/Zubac has potential to be one of the best starting 5's in the league and could give the Clippers a chance to contend. This trade also gives the Clippers the option to rebuild around Trae and better their future

• With the Hawks taking on expiring contracts, this gives them the opportunity to go after another big-name player and re-tool their roster with more financial flexibility
