Blazers must avoid Trae Young at all costs if latest rumors are true

ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are working together to find a trade partner leading up to the Feb. 5 deadline. The Portland Trail Blazers absolutely should not be one of those potential landing spots.

Sure, Young would help Portland's offense with his playmaking and three-point shooting, two areas they desperately still need to address at the deadline. But there's a reason the Hawks are exploring trade options for their polarizing star: it's because they're better off without him!

Young has only played ten games this season as he's dealt with leg injuries.
