With an NBA-worst 6-25 record and eight straight losses as of this writing, the Atlanta Hawks have been featured in multiple trade rumors in recent weeks, many of which have linked them to star players such as Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons and DeMar DeRozan of the San Antonio Spurs. Most recently, DeRozan’s teammate, LaMarcus Aldridge, was suggested as another target the embattled Hawks could consider ahead of the February trade deadline.
On Tuesday, Fadeaway World published a list of five players who could potentially help out the Hawks’ star guard, Trae Young, as midseason trade acquisitions, including big men such as Drummond, Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside, and Aldridge. In its entry for Aldridge, the publication explained that the 34-year-old forward/center is likely to be moved prior to the trade deadline as the Spurs start their own rebuilding project.
