We have already looked to trade Trae in the past. It could very well be us that made the call.



I think any past conversations went more so as "let's see what a Trae Young trade would actually look like" vs " We gotta move this guy ASAP".

DJM being traded instead kinda supports that. If the market suggested there was more to gain by trading Trae, he very well might've been the one traded. Since it was DJM, I believe teams weren't offering enough beyond what DJM got us that would satisfy the value request to trade Trae.

Teams are probably constantly checking in on Trae to see if there is some kind of buy low trade that can be had ala Sacramento looking for a PGOTF.

We also 'know' Sac is also checking in on Garland.

Let me live in the moment of fake news.

We all know Trae will be a Hawk next season. Leading the league in turnovers, shooting 40%, and still not able to dunk. $60m per year in the near future.

...and still leading the league in assists and running one of the best offenses despite his teammates missing white open shot after shot andvcarrying the weight of the Hawks franchise that's done nothing to put high end talent WITH him.

Overpaid Hawks Star Set to Rob City Blind Next Season

The Hawks need someone to carry them out of the malaise, but their highest-paid player may be what’s holding them back.

Trae Young Needs to Finally Rise to the Hawks’ Expectations
Trae Young is the face of the Hawks, and that might not be a good thing considering their recent performance. While the soon-to-be 27-year-old is a four-time All-Star and finished fourth in the Comeback Player of the Year voting a year ago, Young’s superstar status hasn’t helped Atlanta make a deep run in the playoffs.

Young is set to make $45.9 million next season and has a player option worth $48.9 million for the 2026-27 season. While that deal could keep Young in Atlanta for the next two years, players typically opt out to maximize their earnings, and he could be in line for another big contract worth five years and $345 million.


The Hawks could nip this situation in the bud by signing Young to an extension now. But NBA analyst Zach Lowe hinted that Atlanta could allow Young to become an unrestricted free agent next summer and it’s easy to understand why they have some hesitation.
