Would have to hope DD really improved a level or two to fill Herbs shoes.
Nobody is filling Herb's shoes. If your goal is to stop a player 1-5, even now Dyson might be the better choice. But if your goal is to stop a play, Herb is and always will be better than Dyson because Herb's defensive IQ is ridiculous. We've seen him stop 2, even 3 of the opposing teams best players...on the same play...many times. If you need to cover for Trae's defense, you need to keep Herb.
I'm starting to come around on Trae. I still like Murray best, but he's the safe choice. He raises the floor but relies on Zion being an MVP candidate to raise the ceiling. The risk that comes with Trae is a potential floor lowering downside, especially if he rubs everyone the wrong way. But he also raises the ceiling, and I suspect he can weaponize Zion in a way we've never seen in the NBA. We got glimpses of it with Lonzo, but that was mostly in transition. Trae should be able to do that with Zion in the half court.

The main deal is likely Trae buying in that Zion is Batman and he is Robin.
Trae trying to be Batman and thinking he was bigger than the team with the Hawks has been a lot of the problems there IIRC.

Agree 100%. My entire premise in Trae is pairing him w/ Herb and DD. I’m sure the Hawks probably see what I see and that’s why they wanted Herb so badly for Murray. If they are trading Trae, I don’t really see the need for them to really want Herb. I woukd think BI woukd have more value to them to replace scoring. .
I think Trae will definitely unlock Zion and give Trey and Herb more open looks. I hoping Griff makes it happen. I want to see it. If it goes down in flames so be it. It will be exciting and put butts in seats and raise our national exposure.
