Time for the Hawks to Move On From Trae Young? & Knicks' Fatal Flaw

Are the Atlanta Hawks soaring higher without Trae Young? Wes Goldberg and Matt Moore debate if Atlanta should move on from their star point guard following a pivotal win, while spotlighting Jalen Johnson’s emergence and Kristaps Porzingis’ impact. The conversation compares isocentric basketball's decline with the rise of team-oriented play, questioning if the Hawks are set for a roster shake-up that unlocks their full potential.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks’ vulnerable perimeter defense faces scrutiny after a costly loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Can Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns overcome defensive shortcomings, or will the Knicks' title hopes unravel against fast, dynamic guards in the playoffs? The discussion wraps with Cade Cunningham’s unexpected MVP candidacy for the Detroit Pistons and examines whether the LA Clippers’ latest surge is the real deal.
