I like the idea of Trae Young as you are really only committing two years to him to see if he fits. I think you can get him this offseason basically for a BI swap without having to include a ton of picks. You aren't committing to him for 5 years as you would with BI.
I get this, but if it doesn't work, his value goes negative and we basically have to blow it all up and start over.
You could say the same with all of these guys, but Trae has the biggest volatility and the most likely chance to have his value completely tank.

Based on what? This could equally be said for Garland?
This is thing you make these “grand” statements and its based off literally your opinion and “eye” test. You need some kind of backing to validate why his value would completely tank more than Garlands if he failed?

If you think about what is the most realistic upside/best case scenario with Trae/Garland/Murray, the best scenario would be with Trae.

I think Garland has just as much volatility because a lot of his value is tied to 'potential' based on one season where he was the primary ballhandler. It's wild to me that Garland fans so casually claim having Donovan Mitchell as a teammate holds him back. Defensively I would understand, but how can you not make it work offensively with a player of Mitchell's caliber? Makes me think Garland doesn't want to be the Robin, but he's no Batman.
What's Garland's value if he can't make it work with Zion and his defense regresses closer to Trae without Allen/Mobley protecting him?
For reference, I do not want Garland or Trae because roster construction is already difficult enough with Zion.
