Trae Young Likely Traded as Hawks Reboot

With the trade deadline approaching, a set of bold predictions for all 30 teams maps out who will sell, who will buy, and who will pivot. The loudest calls include Atlanta leaning into a new identity and "moving Trae," Dallas trading Anthony Davis to reset around Cooper Flagg, Golden State shopping Jonathan Kuminga, Brooklyn entertaining offers for Michael Porter Jr., and contenders like Denver juggling pieces to avoid repeat-tax pain. Many moves are driven by contracts, health, and draft math more than win-now instincts. Merlin sees the deadline as a shifting constellation. Injuries, small print in contracts, and a few tempting offers will turn whispers into trades. Some teams will tweak depth, others will reboot cores, and one or two blockbuster ideas could redraw the landscape overnight.
