The Atlanta Hawks might surprise during the NBA offseason once again and go big. If this is the case, it is likely that the team targets a backcourt mate for Trae Young.

After an underwhelming season that ended in a first-round playoff loss, anything is possible for Atlanta. This is a franchise that has been aggressive in building a winner in the Eastern Conference. Just one season after an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Hawks took big steps back and this is what the front office is looking to avoid.

Both Young and John Collins signed a contract extension last offseason. This was in hopes of keeping the core around for years to come but there was always a strange feeling around Collins. He was thrown around in trade rumors before signing his extension and this could continue this offseason.

Sam Presti has been loading up on draft picks in Oklahoma City but decided to keep Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as a franchise player. He is set to turn 24-years-old this summer, could he be better served landing with a more immediately competitive franchise?

This is a blockbuster deal that would appreciate both teams looking to take the next step. Let’s look at a potential trade that could swap Collins and Gilgeous-Alexander of this offseason.
