The Atlanta Hawks are reportedly evaluating trade options for guard Trae Young and could move him before the upcoming NBA trade deadline, according to the New York Post.
Unnamed league sources cited by the outlet said the front office is “looking for the exit ramp,” signaling a willingness to end its partnership with the 25-year-old playmaker sooner rather than later. No potential destinations or specific trade packages were mentioned.
Young, drafted fifth overall in 2018, has been the face of the franchise since arriving in Atlanta and is under a long-term contract. The Hawks, however, have struggled to gain traction in the Eastern Conference this season, prompting speculation that management may opt for a major roster reset.
With the trade deadline approaching, Atlanta now appears open to offers, setting up the possibility of one of the league’s most high-profile moves in years.
