TRADE DEADLINE: How the Warriors, Celtics and Hawks Should Approach the NBA Trade Deadline

Atlanta Hawks weigh a seismic change as trade rumors swirl around Trae Young—has Atlanta waited too long to hit reset? Wes Goldberg dissects the Hawks' difficult decision amid declining returns for their star point guard, re-evaluating Trae Young’s on-court value, market perception, and possible destinations like the Washington Wizards, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Phoenix Suns. Plus, the next franchise centerpiece Jalen Johnson’s breakout is explored, challenging what the new NBA landscape means for rebuilding teams and max contracts.

Shifting focus, Wes is joined by CLNS' Bobby Manning to unpack the Boston Celtics’ stunning resilience in the East, highlighting Jaylen Brown’s leap as a primary creator and Joe Mazzulla’s emerging coaching mastery. Deep dives cover Celtics’ strategic evolution, standout rookie Hugo Gonzalez, and how Jaylen Brown’s growth could impact Jayson Tatum’s eventual return.

Then The Athletic's Nick Friedell joins the show to talk about the Warriors as Golden State faces roster growing pains and weighs if one more playoff run is still possible.
