On Sunday evening, NBA insider Marc Stein reported that there is "a growing belief" around the NBA that the Atlanta Hawks are more open to trading Trae Young (subscription required) than they've ever been. He became eligible to sign an extension this past offseason, but the team didn't approach Young's camp about one. Since then, the 27-year-old's future has been a hot topic of conversation.
With the trade deadline less than six weeks away and the Hawks' play since Young returned to the lineup after missing a month and a half with a knee injury, speculation is growing on what Atlanta will do with Young.
