Business is business...Trae doesn't deserve the supermax and he doesn't appear to be communicating that he's willing to take less.

Now, if he has, let me know, but otherwise, my loyalty will remain with our front office, and not Trae/Klutch being disappointed that the Hawks haven't made an offer.

1. Where has he communicated that he wants a supermax at all and not willing to take less. Making up stuff. The only thing reported was by Marc Spears that he feels Trae is 'disappointed that an offer of an extension was not made'
2. Trae is not with Klutch.

Thank you for correcting me about Klutch.

Why do I need to make stuff up? I can assume this.
What has Trae and Omar Wilkes said other than going to the media about being disappointed.



Time will tell how this ends. Max, supermax, or a discount.

4yrs, $229m is what we can offer right now, correct?

I believe that's fair.

Omar isn't his agent either.
Have they actually said anything though?
Again, all Marc has said is he 'feels' (we going on feelings?) Trae is disappointed, not that he heard it from Trae or others close to Trae'.
Of course time will tell, but continue making assumptions about what he's saying or not saying about things that aren't even being discussed.

[HMFFL]

4yrs, $229m is what we can apparently offer right now.

5yrs, $350m is what we can offer if he makes an all NBA team.

Accurate?

"Slow play" is an interesting way to describe two sides each waiting for the other to blink.

I don't see Atlanta having much leverage after the Fox extension, the fact that a trade would undo much of the off-season success, and the reality that they need Trae in 26-27 because they gave up their pick unprotected.

Trae, on the other hand, will have suitors as a free agent. And he has the player option as a safety valve.

To me, this reads as: the Hawks are bluffing.

The New Orleans Pelicans are in a perfect spot to land disrespected superstar



If Atlanta has a disappointing year coming off the heels of a thrilling offseason, Trae could walk. If that does happen and he is set on leaving New Orleans, he has unreal ammo to send the Hawks in a sign-and-trade.

A package centered draft capital, Yves Missi, Jeremiah Fears, Jordan Poole, and Jordan Hawkins would be a hard deal to pass up on if you're the Hawks.

I really do think if things go south with the Hawks, the Pelicans are a perfect landing spot for the reigning assist leader.

Hawks can offer him 4yrs, $229m right now. To me, it's common knowledge that Trae won't accept.

I expect the Spurs, Lakers, and Cavs to be top suitors for Trae if he must go.

Let's hope a deal is reached. The issue I have is that I don't support a deal that pays Trae $70m per season. Why handicap the team for Trae Young?

Solid perspective.

More money is key here. Both Trae and our front office know $229m won't be enough. Let's shock the world this year by winning. I think Trae has an opportunity to improve everything about Trae Young this season and to be taken more serious. By that, I mean, making the all-star team from the jump, maybe beat Lemelo out in all-star voting, and to make the all NBA team.

Sorry, but there's a reason that teams offer extensions rather than let guys become unrestricted. Trae is as good as gone by no later than next July if they don't agree to an extension before the season.

The front office knows this, so if they are choosing not to offer him the full max (which is understandable, frankly), then they are choosing to move on.

People made hay about his comments regarding Micah Parson's contract. What do you think this infers?

when someone will take less early to stay in a place he wanted to be forever, you do it… the price only goes up now!

Do I know tor sure? No. But he wasn't offered!

There are way more options than just the 4 year/$229 million contract offer.

Luka's extension is the ideal length and dollar amount for Trae. It would allow TY to opt out at the the 10 year mark and sign a longer deal at a higher pay rate.

Young has perfect opportunity to show he's deserving of contract extension[/size][/b]

The Atlanta Hawks have had one of the most impressive transaction windows this summer. Trae Young's coming off his fourth All-Star season in which he averaged 24.2 points, led the league in assists at 11.6 a game and finished fourth in Clutch Player of the Year voting. Despite his impressive numbers, he rarely gets mentioned in the same conversations of a Luka Dončić or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This summer, he's had to sit and watch his contemporaries get lucrative contract extensions, as both Dončić and Gilgeous-Alexander signed multiyear deals that will pay them each north of $50 million a year, and in SGA's case he'll be raking in $75 million during the 2030-31 season.

Young will be earning roughly $46 million next season, and has a player option for the 2026-27 season he'll surely opt out of. However, while all the other guards around Young's age are getting massive extensions, there's been no word on a similar extension coming Young's way. In fact, ESPN's Marcus Spears reported on Aug. 5 that Young has been "disappointed" by the fact that an extension hasn't gotten done, and Jake Fischer elaborated recently to say Young's upset at the fact that the Hawks haven't even broached the topic of an extension. Fischer also reports that there's no plan for Young and the Hawks to discuss a contract extension this summer.

That may leave a bad taste in Young's mouth, especially as all the other guards around him are getting big paydays. But this serves as the perfect opportunity for Young to prove to the Hawks next season that not only is he deserving of a contract extension, but he's worth the full amount of guaranteed money he's able to get -- which could be a five-year, $350 million max extension if he earns All-NBA honors next season.

If Young wants max money, next season will be his chance to prove it. Everything is lining up for him to have a massive year, one that could come with various individual accolades and perhaps a deep run in the playoffs. But it'll be on Young to take advantage of the Hawks constructing a perfect situation for him.

Feel free to share all of the contract extensions options we can offer right now that you know about then.

From my research, it says 4yrs, $229m.
