Trade for Trae Young?

[Moranis]

Boston should expend assets on a position of need, not a position of strength. If they expend the assets it should be for a big man, not another small player. 

Trae is the modern Iverson, but with much worse defense (and it isn't like Iverson was a good defender).  He can work in the right system and as the focal point, but he wouldn't work on Boston.

So as I said above. NO.

 Sorry when did iverson avg 11.5 assists per game? He never did.

no but he did average 8 for a team that scored just 99 ppg. His AST% was in the upper 30's which is lower than Trae who is in the mid 40's, but not so much less that the comparison doesnt work.  That is why I said a modern version of Iverson.  Faster paced game, but pretty inefficient as a scorer and a ball hog. Maybe Marbury works better as a comparison. That is the type of player Young is except not as good as AI.  There is a reason that woth all the assists and points Trae has a pretty small WS.  He is simply inefficient and not very impactful.

Atlanta is finally starting to build a team around his strengths so maybe his efficiency picks up this year and the Hawks get back to the ECF tram they were a few years ago before they started tinkering woth the team too much.  The Murray trade was an unmitigated disaster that was doomed to fail. They are finally correcting that.

 He's a top 3 passer im.the world. Better shooter than iverson from.the field,  from 3 point range and shoots 87% from the line.

 Offensively he's better than iverson.
