3team trade…
Atl gets Kevin Durant, Rudy Gay
Brooklyn gets Donovan Mitchell, John Collins, Onyeka Okongwu, Bogdan Bogdanovic
Utah gets Ben Simmons, Cam Thomas, Jalen Johnson, Atl’s 2024 1st, BK’s 2029 1st…
Hawks go all in. Replacing young guys JC, Onyeka, Jalen Johnson & Bogi with seasoned vets like KD, Dwight, Rudy Gay & Lou Will in an attempt to finally win an East/NBA title. Starting lineup of Trae/DJ/Dre/KD/Clint would arguably be the best starting 5 in the league… Brooklyn would get to replace a couple of less than dependable guys (KD/Ben) with a pair of guys that you can depend on to show up every night if at all possible, who also happen to be close friends (Spida/JC). They add a couple other big time players in Bogi & Onyeka too. Onyeka could be their starting 5 for the next 10+yrs. He & Claxton would be an extremely active/athletic duo. Adding Bogi just gives them even more firepower… Utah gets 2 very intriguing/talented young guys from last yrs draft class, plus 2 future unprotected 1sts plus they can replace the perennial DPOY they just traded to Minnesota with a guy in Ben that could take that mantle & win a few DPOYs of his own
