Trae Young’s trade value not as high as Hawks would like

Brian Windhorst: I’m not sure that Trae Young’s value is as high as they’d like it to be. So this is a real pivotal year as you say for Trae Young. Number one: after this season he can extend his contract and in the current environment first off we know that he’s on the ‘fun max’, we know the next contract is ‘stress max’ time. It’s been dubbed the ‘stress max’ because it affects both sides. Sometimes it’s the stress on the team whether they can get the player to sign and sometimes it’s stress on the player about whether he can get that second max. In this environment where under the new rules, where you’ve got to watch the dollars being spent especially when you get to the 30 percent part of the max, Trae is going to have to have a big year, even if it’s to stay in Atlanta and sign a max deal.
