Trae's value is basically non-existing at his current salary. Now imagine if he doesn't agree to waive his 15% trade kicker..
I think Mavs have little interest in Risacher, especially if he's the centerpiece of the deal. Just give us Kennard if you guys are that high on Zacch, but premium asset still has to be attached.
Sorry but Mavs are not a charity.
Trae is the worst defender in the nba right now. Hawks have given up 125+ points in all his games this year and have a current 129 drating with him on the court - 114drating without him according to bball reference. Offensively they have a +6 orating with him but doesn't make up for the bad defense. Hard to call Trae a ball hog when he led the nba in assists last year and is 3rd all time in APG behind John Stockton and Magic Johnson but every hawks game with him is a track meet.
