The Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves both made big moves two seasons ago, but only one has worked out so far. Atlanta sent a pile of draft picks to San
Antonio for Dejounte Murray and Minnesota sent an even bigger pile of draft picks to Utah for Rudy Gobert. Minnesota has two playoff appearances and a conference finals appearance since then, as well as Gobert winning his fourth Defensive Player Of The Year award. Atlanta has one playoff appearance and an overwhelming amount of evidence that the pairing of Trae Young and Murray is not working.
Atlanta added Dejounte Murray to a backcourt that already featured Trae Young. Minnesota dropped Gobert into a frontcourt that already had Towns. There would certainly be a bit of an adjustment period with Young and Anthony Edwards, whose on-ball prowess has developed over the course of this campaign, but they're a more natural fit than Murray and Young. And Trae's playmaking, particularly as a pick-and-roll ball-handler and lob passer, would instantly make life easier for Gobert.
Figuring out the defense could take some time, but the Hawks weren't exactly locking people down with Trae either."
