If and a big if, they keep performing the way they are so do they trade Murphy? I can see Dickinson definitely being traded.
Murphy has been a loyal warrior for years.
He has a 10 team no-trade list according to capwages.
My guess is they let him have a say in it, unless someone not on his NT list offers way too much. (unlikely imho)
Dickinson, it all depends on his health.
Overall I wonder how they approach the trade deadline if (just for example) the Hawks are out of the playoffs
but have an outside chance to get in with a great end of year run.
Would they keep the veterans in order to give the team more meaningful games for the youngsters?
Like you said, a big “if” but also a lot of variables too.
