Atlanta Hawks Receive: G Terry Rozier

Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Clint Capela

As a further testament to the difficulties in building an NBA team, sometimes, you can make a trade that solves one problem by creating another.

Say, for example, your star point guard is an offensive genius who struggles on defense. Acquiring an elite defensive guard to cover for his limitations might be a reasonable course of action.

With that said, if that elite defensive guard is a poor floor-spacer, you may be negating the advantage your brilliant on-ball playmaker brings to your team in the first place.

Such is the case for the Atlanta Hawks this summer. They brought in Dejounte Murray to offset Trae Young’s defensive limitations. That’s great, but given Murray’s shooting woes, the Hawks now have a new dilemma.

Would this trade help alleviate that issue?
