So... What exactly should the Hawks be looking for in a potential Trae Young trade?
The Atlanta Hawks seem closer than ever to parting ways with franchise player Trae Young. Atlanta opted against offering Young an extension during the 2025 offseason despite knowing he could become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, and are now at the heart of yet another rush of trade rumors.
The question that seems to be asked far too scarcely is as simple as it is complex: What would constitute an adequate return if the Hawks actually trade Young?
