Trae Young appears to be on his way out of Atlanta. And the Miami Heat’s longstanding interest in swinging a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo will be much better off because of it.
According to Marc Stein of the Stein Line, Young has “been in communication in recent days with Hawks general manager Onsi Saleh and is aware of Atlanta's on-going efforts to canvas the trade market” for his services. The tenor of this reporting follows an age-old blueprint, essentially implying, if not subtly confirming, that Atlanta’s four-time All-Star will finish the season elsewhere.
