Within the latest flood of intel from Mike Scotto of ‘HoopsHype,’ the LA Clippers are in the select bunch of teams surveilling Trae Young’s situation with the Atlanta Hawks. It was all speculation following yesterday’s drop from Marc Stein on ‘The Stein Line,’ yet with genuine interest developing, the Clippers are making a grave mistake and must turn around before their wheels are stuck in the mud.
The reason to avoid is relatively apparent: Young is not a winner and lacks a winning play-style. He has played only 27 playoff games in seven seasons, and a chunk of those came in 2020-21, a postseason that ended early.
