This is part of why trade packages for players like De'Aaron Fox are typically built around draft picks. The idea is that the team landing the star improves now, and then the team giving that player away reaps the benefits later.

Tuesday's game between the Houston Rockets and the Atlanta Hawks got chippy as Dillon Brooks and Trae Young got into a scuffle.

Rockets forward Dillon Brooks and Atlanta guard Trae Young were assessed a double technical foul in the fourth quarter of Houston's 100-96 win on Tuesday in Atlanta. It came a critical stretch as Atlanta had gone on a 15-2 run to cut Houston's lead to three points with under a minute remaining.

Dyson Daniels showered the Rockets with some very high praise on the defensive end after the Hawks' loss on Tuesday night.

With just about 50 seconds left in the game, Brooks knocked Young down on the perimeter. As the action paused due to teammate Dyson Daniels converting an and-1 layup, Young seized the moment to retaliate. He nonchalantly drove his shoulder into Brooks as he walked by.

Good to go Tuesday

Hawks guard Trae Young is trying to save his money. But that didn’t stop him from dropping a few critiques of the officials from Tuesday’s matchup against the Rockets when asked about it postgame. Young and Rockets forward Dillon Brooks earned a pair of double technicals after an altercation.

Throughout Trae Young's career, the Atlanta Hawks have struggled to provide him with a running mate that fits well alongside him, until this season.

There was a time in which trading for New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram, a move ESPN’s Brian Windhorst suggests the Atlanta Hawks could make, would’ve been sensible.
