The Atlanta Hawks are not going to extend (subscription required) Trae Young this offseason, according to Jake Fischer. The four-time All-Star is entering the final guaranteed year of his contract, and fans should be questioning the franchise’s decision-making. Young could be the best unrestricted free agent on the market in the summer of 2026, and some team may outbid the Hawks for his services. The front office seems committed to making their star prove it this season.
It is a surprising call after Young recruited multiple free agents to Atlanta this summer.
