Sometimes, the best thing you can do is cut your losses. Sometimes, NBA teams need to do the same.

It’s not always easy. Nobody likes to concede defeat. At the same time, it can be the only logical course of action. 

A team may have a star duo that they’ve invested in. Sometimes, they need to realize that their duo doesn’t play well together. 

That may be the case for the Atlanta Hawks. The partnership between Trae Young and Dejounte Murray looked questionable in 2022-23. 

Another team may want to consider breaking up a star duo of their own — the Los Angeles Clippers. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have struggled to stay healthy. Is it time to move on?

Could they break it up this summer by acquiring George?
