Analysis

Why the Atlanta Hawks do this:

The Hawks do this for 2 simple reasons. True first reason is because Trae Young is showing signs of degressing early in his career, which is not good for the organization. As he still has value, they should move him to another team. Second reason is that they can get start rebuilding with Risacher, their #1 pick in this draft

Why the Houston Rockets do this:

Green hasn’t been what the Rockets want him to be so far. Since his rookie year his 3 pt % has dropped year by year. The rockets should capitalize on his value not before it’s too late. They grab a top 5 shooter in the league and can contend for a top 6 seed this year in the playoffs.

Why the Los Angeles Lakers do this:

Pretty simple trade; Rui and JHS for Hunter. Hunter would fit well on the bench unit with Bron and AD. His scoring abilities would help as most of the bench on the Lakers lack that 3&D scoring. Jalen Hood hasn’t been the best rookie having a very underwhelming first season. Hunter could fit very nicely under new coaching staff.
