The Atlanta Hawks and star guard Trae Young are actively discussing trade possibilities, aiming to secure new situations for both the player and the franchise, the New York Post reported on Monday, January 5 2026.
According to the report, Atlanta’s front office has started gauging interest around the league while Young’s representatives explore destinations that could offer the two-time All-Star a different role and competitive outlook. The move would mark the end of Young’s tenure with the team that drafted him fifth overall in 2018.
Details of potential trade packages or a specific timetable were not disclosed. However, the Post indicated that both parties believe a separation could benefit each side, setting the stage for one of the most closely watched trade scenarios of the NBA season.
