Bro I’m the biggest Trae fan there is and even I put the odds extremely low. There is potential, but even if he gets 55+ wins, improves dramatically on defence(which he is starting to do and I think he will continue to improve), has a 50/40/90 season which would be by far his highest efficiency, and going 30/10/2steals, he still has such a narrative against him that he likely wouldn’t win.
I do believe all of this is a possibility(though unlikely), but even then I think the narrative prevails.
If Trae got 55+ wins while putting up 30 and 10 on 50/40/90 he would win MVP lol. Nobody is gonna go that hard with the narratives if the results so clearly say otherwise. Everybody who has won MVPs has against them. The problem with Trae is the hawks stay at .500 and that’s not enough to get peoples attention.
Also since 21-22 he hasn’t been anywhere close to 50/40/90 so him doing that would be huge considering the narrative that he’s Westbrook 2.0 with efficiency.
If Trae is that guy from the 21-22 season he has as good of a shot as anybody. Hawks just gotta win
