At this point, the Hawks value three-time All-Star Trae Young more than other teams around the league. Although Young leads the NBA in assists this season, the 26-year-old’s field goal percentage has been the worst of his career, and his three-point percentage and scoring are only slightly above his rookie season production. Teams across the league also cite Young’s shortcomings as a defender due to his size and whether you can advance far in the playoffs with him as one of your highest-paid stars, given the new collective bargaining agreement.

I’ve been playing around with an Embiid to the Hawks trade for Risacher + Okongwu + salary (plus a pick or two).
Kinda like the idea of that as the starting point for a Sixers rebuild. Maybe they hold out for Jalen Johnson (in offseason) but Trae-Embiid makes sense. – 10:04 PM

Trae Young is averaging 12.42 assists per game this season.
That would be the best mark of any player since John Stockton in 1994. Also the best mark not involving Stockton or Magic since 1985. – 7:40 AM

The Hawks athleticism and length causes some serious problems for teams on the offensive end. Looks like they’re on their way to another impressive W against the Cavs… led by Trae Young!!! – 4:28 PM

GBT strikes again. Daniels strips LeVert from behind and the Bogi convert on a second-chance look for 3 off a look from Trae Young.
Young has 5 assists in 3Q – 4:12 PM

Trae Young just found De’Andre Hunter with another absurd behind the back pass to the top of the key for a 3. Then he just hit a 3 himself from the wing. Hawks lead 75-59 with 5:13 in 3Q. – 4:07 PM

#Cavs spent a lot of time with Darius Garland defending Trae Young on Wednesday night.
Isaac Okoro has that assignment so far that afternoon. – 2:45 PM
