A four-player NBA trade proposal sending Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks to the Milwaukee Bucks has been created.

NBA writer Blake Silverman of Sports Illustrated created the following trade proposal:

Milwaukee Bucks receive: Trae Young

Atlanta Hawks receive: Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis, Andre Jackson Jr., 2026 first-round pick (least favorable of Milwaukee and New Orleans)

The Hawks are open to trading Young and the Bucks are looking to get more talent around superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, sources told Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.

This trade proposal accomplishes both goals.

Extension talks between Young and the Hawks haven’t progressed and Atlanta has been gathering intel about Young’s marketplace dating back to this past offseason, sources told Afseth.

Young is making $45.9 million this season. The Oklahoma product can become an unrestricted free agent next offseason by declining his 2026-27 player option worth $48.9 million. 

A four-time All-Star, Young is averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists per game this season while shooting 41.5% from the field, 30.5% from beyond the arc and 86.3% from the free-throw line. The Hawks are only 2-8 with him in the lineup.

Young hasn’t been linked to Milwaukee in trade rumors as of this writing, but that could change, especially since the Bucks need a point guard after parting ways with Damian Lillard this past offseason.

The 27-year-old Young has career averages of 25.2 points and 9.8 assists per game. Many people around the NBA expect the one-time assists champion to be traded by the Hawks this season.

Young doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract, preventing him from controlling his future.

This trade proposal pairs Young with Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. Young is one of the best passers in the NBA, so Antetokounmpo and Turner would likely flourish playing alongside him since they are lob and pick-and-roll threats.
