The Atlanta Hawks have a Trae Young decision to make this summer, as he became eligible to sign a four-year extension worth $229 million on July 6. Atlanta doesn't have a preseason deadline to agree to a deal with Young, so he could sign a new contract during the regular season. If NBA analyst Zach Lowe had to guess, he thinks the Hawks will let Young's situation "play out."
Lowe discussed Young's extension situation on The Zach Lowe Show. He thinks rather than pay Young this year, Atlanta will allow him to potentially become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
