Why The Atlanta Hawks Do The Deal
If the Hawks see the same limitations in the Murray/Young partnership that we do, they’ll love this deal.
Neither one is an off-ball player. That’s the issue here. In this deal, the Hawks are bringing in two players who thrive without the rock.
Granted, Robinson isn’t seen as being on a value contract. He’s a limited defender. On the other hand, he’s paid less than Collins, and his movement shooting would be valuable alongside Young.

So would Herro. This is a more suitable backcourt partner for Young. If nothing else, the two should be electrifying together on offense.
If the Hawks are just willing to admit their mistake, of course.
