Should the San Antonio Spurs pursue Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young?

The basic framework takes the Hawks and Chicago Bulls as partners for San Antonio.

Should the San Antonio Spurs pursue Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young to pair with French rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama? Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus recently put together a hypothetical three-team deal to explore what such a pursuit might look like for all parties, and it is no minor trade for any of the three teams he envisions in the deal.

The basic framework takes the Hawks and Chicago Bulls as partners for San Antonio, and has the Spurs send Tre Jones, Devonte’ Graham, and five first round picks to Atlanta, and Sidy Cissoko from the Bulls. Chicago gets the Hawks’ De’Andre Hunter, and the Spurs Young, Jevon Carter (from the Bulls), and a first round pick from Atlanta.

In a sense, this deal could be seen as a delayed Trae Young swap for Dejounte Murray, according to Pincus.

The deal would also help, in theory, give a spark to a Hawks rebuild that has started to sputter.

It would also give the Bulls a way to shuffle the deck without starting a major rebuild, which may be exactly what all three parties are after.
