NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on Wednesday morning that while the Atlanta Hawks have had discussions with the Wizards about a Trae Young trade, the team wants to see if any other trade suitors emerge (subscription required) leading up to the Feb. 5 deadline.

On Tuesday, Mike Scotto of HoopsHype wrote that the Timberwolves, Bucks, and Clippers have monitored Young's situation. Monitoring doesn't mean that those teams are ready to jump into a trade.

Fischer said that outside of Washington, it's "difficult to pinpoint" active suitors for the 27-year-old guard. He noted the complications of a Young trade for the Bucks and Timberwolves, as both teams would have to give up key players to match his salary.
