Devon Mitchell seemed to be the target before Murray joined. Mitchell and Garland seem to be having their issues as a duo too.

Re: Trae Young: Max Contract Superstar
Mmmmm.....but Trae averaged 26.2ppg/10.2apg the previous year.
Makes me wonder what the stat is for the 1st player to average 25p/10a in back to back years since....???

Re: Trae Young: Max Contract Superstar
Expectations are low for the Hawks’ new-look roster, but Young believes that could be the perfect setup for him to restore his name to a place he believes it belongs: at the top.
“I want to get back to where I've been,” Young said on the “Million Dollars Worth of Game” podcast episode that aired on September 8. “A lot of people look at our roster and don't have a lot of high expectations, so that's sometimes good for a player like me who's been built on beating expectations his whole life. So I'm just ready to play and beat expectations and whatever that ends up being, I'm going to be ready for it and excited for it.”
Young has not pushed for a change of scenery, but rather a change in trajectory. So far, the peak of his Hawks tenure is the Hawks’ run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Young previously expressed dissatisfaction with that being his pinnacle so far.
“Whenever you’re in this position, you never feel like it’s enough,” Young said on his “From The Point” podcast in June 2023. “You always feel like you want more – like there’s more out there. I mean obviously, I haven’t won everything. I haven’t won really anything, to be honest with you.
“I’ve gone into the Conference Finals which is cool. But, in my eyes, if you don’t win the championship, that ain’t enough.”

Re: Trae Young: Max Contract Superstar
Trae gets back on this list for the 2025 season, right?

Re: Trae Young: Max Contract Superstar
This is the year.
It either happens in a Hawks uniform or we part ways.
