Why The Atlanta Hawks Do The Deal 

The Hawks may not jump to do this deal. There are problems with it. 

For starters, they’re losing the best player in it. That’s the kicker here. The Hawks probably won’t look to move Young at all unless he really does demand a trade. 

Moreover, the Hawks already have two quality big in Clint Capela and Onyeka Onkongwu. Why would they target Adebayo? 

Well, he’s better than either of them. Adding him, Herro and three first-round picks is a good value return for Young if he demands a trade. That’s all that ought to matter to the Hawks here.
