Hawks' Young Trade: Worst in NBA History?
•
The Atlanta Hawks trade of Trae Young to the Wizards has sparked outrage, as it highlights their biggest draft blunder in 2018 when they traded Luka Doncic for Young and a first-round pick. The Hawks now have a lackluster package, including CJ McCollum, Corey Kispert, and Kevin Knox, drawing laughs across the league. Former GM Travis Schlenk faces criticism for setting the franchise back years. Young and Doncic share similar styles, but Doncics five-time All-NBA first-team status and Finals appearance with Dallas contrast sharply with Youngs single All-NBA nod and Eastern Conference Finals trip. Fans and analysts deem this trade the worst in Hawks history, possibly NBA history, leaving the Hawks scrambling for relevance in a wide-open East. Checkout Solipillow.com
