Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers Monitoring Trae Young’s Situation With Atlanta Hawks
The Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers are monitoring Trae Young‘s situation with the Atlanta Hawks, according to NBA insider Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Young and the Hawks are working together to find a trade.
The Washington Wizards have discussed a trade for Young centered around CJ McCollum‘s expiring contract.
“The Bucks have diligently explored roster upgrades around Giannis Antetokounmpo and rank 26th in the league in points per game (113.3),” Scotto wrote. “The Timberwolves have actively explored the trade market across the league in search of a potential starting point guard upgrade, league sources told HoopsHype. The Clippers have underwhelmed overall to start the season despite a recent winning spurt. They must determine their long-term plan for James Harden, who has a player option for next season, which includes a $13.3 million partially guaranteed salary that becomes fully guaranteed for $42.32 million on July 11th.”
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 Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.
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.
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.
