On Wednesday, Hutton outlined a trade that would send Young to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a package consisting of future draft capital and young contributors.<\/p>\n
Proposed Deal<\/p>\n
Hawks Receive: Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Agbaji, Collin Murray-Boyles, 2027 first-round pick, 2029 first-round pick
Raptors Receive: Trae Young<\/p>\n
According to the analyst, such a shake-up would allow Atlanta to avoid potentially losing Young for nothing while securing meaningful assets.<\/p>\n
\u201cAtlanta could find itself in a tough spot should Young decline his player option following this season. Moving the star point guard ahead of the NBA trade deadline presents an opportunity for the Hawks to get a return for their loss, as no reported progress has been made towards a new deal,\u201d Hutton wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although not as prolific a scorer or playmaker as Young, Quickley would make a serviceable lead guard replacement. Meanwhile, Murray-Boyles, the No. 9 pick in this year\u2019s draft, could offer two-way upside as one of the top defenders and post scorers in his class. Toronto\u2019s unprotected 2027 and 2029 first-rounders could also prove pivotal, especially if Young doesn\u2019t stick around.<\/p>\n Hutton added that the Hawks\u2019 shortcomings since their 2021 playoff success<\/a> could make them more inclined to sell high on the four-time All-Star\u00a0and prioritize their long-term outlook.<\/p>\n \u201cAtlanta has shown gradual regression since the team\u2019s Eastern Conference finals appearance in 2021, missing the playoffs in each of the last two seasons,\u201d Hutton pointed out. \u201cMoving on from their superstar could allow the Hawks to stockpile draft capital to continue building for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n On the flip side, the writer views the Raptors acquiring Young as another win-now move that would form a dynamic star trio alongside forwards Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Big 3 of Young, Barnes, and Ingram would likely catapult the Raptors into consistent playoff contention, with potential as title threats as the trio builds rapport on the court,\u201d Hutton speculated.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Coming off a 30-win season, Toronto hasn\u2019t made the postseason since 2022<\/a>, with pressure mounting for its rebuild to yield on-court results.<\/p>\n Possible Hurdles in Young-to-Raptors Deal<\/p>\n While Toronto may be intrigued by landing Young to expedite its return to competitiveness, Atlanta has also made contention-driven roster additions<\/a> this offseason. These include skilled rim-protector Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is, 3-and-D wing Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and sharpshooter Luke Kennard.<\/p>\n
