The future intrigues me. I'd like to see us end up with a superstar player for our frontcourt at the 3, 4, or 5. I hope Trae can draw one to us.

Those are indeed max contract, superstar numbers. He's been impactful, efficient and consistent. And the fact he's doing this at 6'1", 185 pounds is pretty amazing.

Trae Young is the best offensive player we've ever had in a Hawks uni.

We just need a top big man to do some of the heavy lifting offensively and set the tone defensively.

Super-Max Candidates Who Will Be Impacted By 2021/22 All-NBA Picks

When Young signed a five-year, maximum-salary rookie scale extension with the Hawks last August, the two sides agreed to include Rose Rule language in the agreement, opening the door for Young’s starting salary to be worth 30% of the cap (instead of 25%) when the deal begins in 2022/23. In order for that to happen though, Young has to earn one of 15 All-NBA spots this season.

Young’s season-long averages of 28.3 PPG and 9.7 APG in 74 games (34.9 MPG) make him a legitimate All-NBA candidate, even if he’s penalized a little for his subpar defense. While Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, and Ja Morant are probably ahead of him among potential All-NBA guards, Young looks like a strong Third Team contender, especially if voters consider DeMar DeRozan to be a forward.

Based on the NBA’s latest cap projections, Young would be in line for a $212.3MM payday if he’s named to an All-NBA team or $176.9MM if he isn’t. That’s a difference of more than $35MM, so voters will have to think carefully about which players they select as their six All-NBA guards this spring.

When Nate has to go speak with Travis after the season is over, these will be the kinds of stats he'll present to keep his job.

Trae had an enormous season under Nate's tutelage. As much as Coach McMIllan has bothered me with his in-game approach, Tare has thrived this year.

They're just realizing what we already knew.
