The 2025-26 NBA regular season is only a couple of weeks old, but there is already some trade drama brewing. All eyes are on what will happen with Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, and it could prompt the Atlanta Hawks to make a decision about Trae Young that could end his time with the organization.

There has already been speculation about a possible Young trade, as the two sides have yet to agree on an extension. The point guard could be in a position to decline his $49 million player option for the 2026-27 season next summer, making him an unrestricted free agent.
