Trae Young's market around the NBA is currently a topic of intense speculation and evaluation. With the recent trade of Dejounte Murray shifting the focus back to Young's long-term future with the Atlanta Hawks, the question of whether he fits into the team's plans and vice versa has emerged. 

Sensing the timing of the debate, rumors started surfacing around Young's potential future around the upcoming season. A tweet recently went viral claiming that Trae Young has requested a trade from the Atlanta Hawks. 


However, the tweet was a mere jab at the current situation, given Young's unclear future. It was posted from a parody account that has a history of sparking controversial claims. 

The upcoming season is crucial for Young, as it will impact his potential contract extension and overall value to the team and the league. ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Tim McMahon have both discussed the challenges and uncertainties surrounding Young's market value, emphasizing the pressure on him to perform at a high level to secure a max contract in the current financial environment of the NBA.


While there may not have been a significant trade market for Young, he remains the face of the franchise and is set to lead the Hawks into the 2024-25 season. His performance during this season will play a pivotal role in shaping his future with the team and the league, potentially quieting the ongoing speculation about his situation.

As a three-time All-Star, Young has the opportunity to assert his value and lead the Hawks to success in a highly competitive Eastern Conference, which could reshape perceptions of his market and solidify his position within the Atlanta organization.  


There is still time for the final call on Young's future, but the rumors are not letting the fans rest for a moment, not even Trae Young himself. 

Agitated after being in the trade news market, Young has taken to Instagram to address the fake trade reports surrounding him in a cryptic post that sheds light on the behind-the-scenes intricacies of the NBA trade rumor mill. These reports emerged in the wake of the Atlanta Hawks' decision to trade Dejounte Murray this summer, signaling a shift in their roster composition. 


Despite rumors of the Hawks looking to part ways with Young, citing various reasons such as locker room dynamics and playing style limitations, the 25-year-old point guard remains an integral part of the team's success.

With impressive stats like averaging 25.7 points and 10.8 assists last season, Trae Young's on-court contributions speak volumes about his talent and impact on the game. While speculation and trade rumors continue to swirl around him, Young's resilience and commitment to the Hawks' future are evident. 

ESPN's Tim MacMahon's comments on the lack of a substantial trade market for Young have been widely circulated. As the upcoming season looms large, Trae Young faces a pivotal moment in his career, with his performance likely to influence his future in Atlanta.
