Trae Young News Emerges on Friday Amid NBA Trade Rumors
Trae Young News Emerges on Friday Amid NBA Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Atlanta Hawks have a decision to make regarding their star player, Trae Young. The Hawks have a young group that has shown plenty of promise to help the organization in the future. Although they have a decent young squad, their best player doesn't fit their timeline. Advertisement Young is 26 and will turn 27 before the start of the 2025-26 NBA season. The Hawks have not been competitive in the past four seasons. They've also missed the playoffs in the past two years. Without a competitive group around him, it's been difficult for the star guard to make the most of his prime years. According to NBA reporter Evan Sidery, there's a chance Young won't be part of the Hawks' future. Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (11) controls the ball against the Philadelphia Ross-Imagn Images Sidery reported on X that some teams are monitoring the Hawks' situation with Young. The four-time All-Star is eligible to sign a four-year, $229 million extension. Unfortunately for the former college star, there have been talks that Atlanta isn't willing to give him the full amount. Advertisement "Young, who is eligible for a four-year, $229 million extension, wants to get paid but there's belief Atlanta might not want to offer him the full-scale amount," Sidery reported. ESPN's Bobby Marks believes the organization will offer Young a three-year contract extension worth $120 million. It's far from what the All-Star guard expects, but Marks believes taking a pay cut could be beneficial for the team to pursue a star to pair with their franchise star. If he doesn't sign the extension, Young will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026, since his five-year, $215 million deal is set to expire. The Hawks will try to avoid reaching that situation by potentially trading him to get something in return.

Hawks Take Clear Stance on Trae Young Trade Rumors: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As the NBA offseason gets underway, there have already been some big names placed on the trade block. The main ones have been star forward Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. More NBA news: LeBron James Offers Big Update on Potential NBA Coaching Plans But there is another All-Star who has seen his name placed into trade rumors for years. That would be star guard Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks, and many around the NBA have believed the team could look to move on from him. Due to the Hawks being in the middle of the pack in the NBA, it would make sense for them to completely enter a rebuild. Atlanta could sell high on Young, landing some strong future assets in return for the All-Star talent. However, the Hawks don't seem to be willing to move Young at this time. According to NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Hawks front office has yet to have any serious discussions with opposing teams about Young. "While some have suggested Atlanta should leverage these selections and try to move into the top 10, the Hawks appear to be comfortable adding two more young talents to build the future of their roster. Despite changes in their front office, the Hawks have not held serious Trae Young trade discussions, sources said."

More Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images/Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images This report doesn't mean that Young won't be traded this summer, but rather than Atlanta, may need to be wowed to make a deal go down. Young has been the face of the Hawks franchise for years, and he is beloved in the city of Atlanta. More NBA news: Lakers Insider Opens Door on Potential Walker Kessler Trade Last season, Young averaged 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. Atlanta surprisingly reached the NBA Play-In Tournament under the leadership of Young, but they fell to the Miami Heat before the postseason began. Young has value around the league, but his defense remains a massive negative for any opposing team. Opponents target Young on defense due to his limited frame, and any team interested in him would need a plan to cover up his deficiencies. Atlanta may be better off trading Young before it's too late, with his value still high. The star guard has one more year on his deal past this season, and could enter free agency if the Hawks don't start trending toward winning again.
