Trae GONE: Why Young Might've Played His LAST Game In Atlanta

- On the surface, Trae Young's late-season finger injury doesn't seem all that consequential, with the All-Star's four-week absence merely impacting the Eastern Conference's depressing play-in race.
But dig deeper, and you'll find this could be a monumental turning point for the Hawks.

#traeyoung #atlantahawks #nba - Sport
Trae and Wemby would be perfect. Wemby makes up for at least two defenders lol.
Literally would create the greatest lob duo ever
tbf if you actually watch the games, Trae's been getting better and trying harder defensively
@mydump9530 Trae Young is ranked 479th out of 528 in Defensive rating......💀💀💀
Maybe you should actually watch the games sir.
@@SwitchB i know it's not quantifiable, and i know he still isn't a good defender necessarily, but the eye test really does show that he's been at least trying harder, hence "watch the games" and not give stats without context. atlanta as a whole has the third worst drtg in the league, and his drtg is barely any different from his teammates. drtg is a super malleable stat so clearly it's more of a system problem than solely a trae problem.
@@SwitchB Trae like in the 40th percentile in DEPM, so he’s on some advanced stats, Trae’s actually shown big improvement
Love that sly grin Trae had when he was asked about what kind of teammate Wemby needs. Seems like he'd like to play with Vic!
The biggest thing about Trae is that he would pass the ball to Wemby when he is open. Then, he can still create his own shot when needed. I don't think Wemby's current teammates got that in them.
Take him
Trae was sitting next to Wemby in the All-Star Weekend too.
Something is building up.
Really was he?
I need it. The NBA needs it. We goota make this work.
Trae's 25, he's just starting his prime. It's perfect timing, just like when Shaq or Lebron left the team that drafted them.
Damn I didn’t realise he was that young
@@jimbojimbo6873 trae is young, huh?
it reminds me of shaq a lot. shaq went to the lakers the same year that they drafted kobe, and wemby is in his rookie season. both young GOATs
I don’t think the Hawks would have half its fan base without Trae Young.
He’s one of the league’s elite shooters who can create for himself off the dribble and spot up in off-ball situations. Young’s floor spacing is invaluable and gives the Hawks another dimension that makes them one of the league’s best offenses.
True...
If only Basketball was played only on one side of the court... But Defense is still a good part of the game.
20 year Hawks watcher here - send Trae to SA.
He has ran his course here. Needs a fresh start. Young + Wemby is better for the NBA.
Say you don’t watch the games without saying you don’t watch the games
@@UnbiasedSaiyanYeah I agree, we havn't done much with trae outside of 2021 and given the fact that trae's trade value is going to go down after this season (not due to his skill but rather only having 2 years left on the contract) atlanta can get a lot back. However I don't think trading trae solves all of the Hawks problem, the front office did not build adequately around Trae. They brought in dejounte but he is another on ball playmaking gaurd instead of trying to brink in a front court player who could play offball.
I feel u but most of us are grateful for the ecf run he lead us to we was just 2 games away from the finals send him to sa and let him compete we got him missing asg and shi cs we can’t stay at .500 and I lowkey wanna see what Jalen Johnson can do with a bigger role
Trae was cheesing ...he knows what time it is😏
As a spurs fan this makes me extremely hyped, atlantas pick situation would be almost instantly fixed and the spurs have even more capital after that and some decent young talent to fill in a lineup with young and wemby. If this goes through i will be watching every game next season for sure
I’m not into the drama or lore but them two together would be AWESOME!
ICE man Trae and Wemby the alien def a match made in heaven the way they would propell each other and bring out the very best of their potentials 🥶👽
Hawks fan here. This is the first argument for a Trae Young trade that I'm all for. I hate the Hawks for wasting my time, but I would LOVE to watch this team up.
Will love to see Trae in a Spurs uniform. However Atlanta will definitely ask at least two of our core players in exchange. (with draft picks of course). Hopefully Spurs don't need to give up Vassel or Sochan in the process
I would give 1 top 10 pick and sochan to be honest. Vassell is too good for his contract so yeah
@@josearce421i agree with that
Devin an Jeremy not going out it's keldon an d graham an salary fillers the best asset is the spurs giving them picks the picks are atl best assist deal will get done probably
Young to the Spurs confirmed
Nope melo or ja .
Get trae on the spurs with wemby!
Excited for that to happen if it were to but I simultaneously have one yet major problem with this idea. The Spurs in turn may or will be forced to trade a couple of their already-improving defensive assets if they wind up acquiring Trae Young. In terms of games I've viewed with Young on the floor lately, I normally don't see him for example block shots unlike other guys like Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu.
@@JohnlukeSabile99963 "already-improving defensive assets" You know that without Wemby Spurs have by far the worst D of the league? And even with Wemby it goes up to #24.
Yes Trae Young is still #1 Worst D in NBA.
But what about Malaki Branham #6 Worst D in NBA, Keldon Jonhson #30, Cedi Osman #32, or Zach Collins a 5 who can't defend...
@@aspleen1102 thought i heard that the spurs were like top 3-10 defence with wemby on the court, also heard that trae is attempting to get better at defense
goes #6 with wemby on the floor not 24 wtf . @aspleen1102
Get ja or melo on the spurs with Vic *
Man the amount of hype San Antonio will get after this they’ll bring back what San Antonio was before! We spurs fans will actually appreciate and love Trae I promise
Spurs fans in Sa don't want Trae. We have spoken
@@funaki9110 shit you don’t I do
This is the best basketball take I’ve heard 👏
TRADE TRAE YOUNG 😈😈
Bring Young to SAN ANTO
Wemby///Trae🔥💪
It's an exciting idea. The defensive deficiency of Trae would be covered by Wemby and on the offensive side Trae would make up for what Wemby lacks right now.
It might finally get Victor to stop taking so many threes and go for more dunks.
Now imagine if Luka was paired with Wemby, that would totally be insane. Just look at how much Lively benefits from Luka's playstyle. Though Dallas would never ever let go of Luka and the Spurs feels the same about Wemby.
Spurs don’t need a non-winner on Luka sorry bud
@@borisabilana6836But they need non-winner Trae Young?
Now imagine if they traded Zach Collins for Jokic, then Victor could be a taller Aaron Gordon and get 10 dunks per game. 🤡
@@richatlarge462 Trae never played with a legit 2nd star like brunson, porzingis and kyrie. His 2nd best players is John Collins.
@@borisabilana6836 dumbass argument lmao. Brunson was still not "The Brunson" during his stint with Mavs. What makes you think Clippers build their game around Luka on that 2 consecutive playoffs? Because both Brunson and KP was missing and Luka was carrying that damn team by himself lmao. By your argument, KP who is a 1x all star is the same as Dejounte who is also a 1x all-star. Luka is a non-winner? Luka literally have more career wins than Trae, tf you on about? I would take Luka 24/7 twice on Sunday over Trae.
Young literally regressed from his 2nd season where he almost average 30ppg. And yet, after almost 3 years his numbers and efficiency are dwindling down. Yet Luka is on pace for another 34-9-9. LMAO
Imagine trae in the spurs system
Man, I hate Trae's game just cause as good as he is, he needs such a specific team built around him, BUT San Antonio's young core is pretty good for Trae's style, that said good fit players like Vassell, Johnson, and Jones would probably have to go for the trade to work out. The pairing of Trae and Wemby does seem quite strong and complementary, but IDK. I feel like Trae might be so bad defensively that all 4 other starters might need to be all-defensive.
You never know what fate has in store. Could be that Vic gets an ankle injury and suddenly the Spurs have Trae Young and no decent role players.
The SAS uniform suits Trae. :)
Trae Young INSANE scoring ability but he's liability in DEFENSE, INCONSISTENT & TURNOVERS MACHINE
Inconsistent how?
Exactly!!!
How can you expect “the worst defensive Pg” to fit in the spurs system????
Too expensive, not a pop type of player, atrocious defense, and empty calorie stats. Good passer and highlight magnet though.
Good take
Give the alien a spaceship
A wemby-trae duo is promising, but i doubt if you can win with trae especially against the mavs or thunder, who are looking like rivals for the years to come. Luka would no doubt abuse trae defense even with wemby helping around.
The new, more dominant lob city.
It'd be an amazing duo but as an Atlanta fan PLEASE don't leave us Trae
I could see SA trading one of their lottery picks back to ATL. The Hawks can select Rob Dillingham and try to reboot that franchise
He needs a good point guard
They should get another eurpean point guard. Example is arturs zagars to have more cap space and sorround wemby a strong potential all star who can play the 2 or 3 position that can defend
What is more realistic: trading Trading Trae to the Spurs for a package that includes Devin Vassell and draft compensation or packaging Dejounte Murray, Onyeka Okongwu and draft compensation for Zion Willianson?
... picks but not vassell...picks plus keldon and 2 more players... there's no way spurs trade vassell...
@@spursfan1775 why would the Hawks trade Trae for just picks? Trades have to make sense for both sides.
@@karimw.9954 ... not necessarily...we traded dejounte to the hawks for picks and gallinary the spurs waiver him...we give the hawks back there 3 picks and another future 1st round pick 2-3 second round picks...keldon branham graham...that should be enough... that's only if trae goes to the hawks and demands a trade...if the hawks trade trae young that means they're starting over...so they would need picks...we traded demar for picks same with jakob poeltl...
@@spursfan1775 you don't think the Hawks can get a better package for Trae elsewhere?
@@karimw.9954no… that’s better than what the Lakers will be able to offer.
hi from Slovenia my favorite is Penny Hardaway + Mr Beast Shaquille O'Neal . Hhhhmm Trae + Wemby 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂ ✌
The Hawks record this season is 8-8 WITHOUT Trae Young - far better than it is WITH Trae Young. Conclusion - time to dump Trae Young who has never been a leader and is always the selfish star like Mike Vick when he was with the Falcons. Dump his salary and get whatever you can for him!!
hey trade young to the knicks the knicks will give you 4 1st round picks
It's amazing how Trae is no longer overrated now that his contract is expiring. Six years in Atlanta and nobody cared about everything he's accomplished. Already past Chris Paul on the all time assists list and plenty more. Now everybody suddenly sees his value next to Wemby. This new league pisses me off.
Trae also said himself with Taylor Rooks that he wants to stay and win chips in Atlanta.
IF he does get traded and somehow turns into what Atlanta fans have been silently calling him all along i really might stop watching basketball. It's a non ending battle of narratives
Time to go .. 6 years … had the green light every second ,,,
trae has never been the problem or even part of it in atlanta. the management has fumbled the rebuild by putting bad pieces around him and making a very questionable trade for murray while holding onto John Collins until he had 0 value.
He’s part of it ! Never worked on getting bigger or stronger .. just stayed the little runt shooting and drawing fouls
Rise or another Fall for Charlotte Hornets new ERA & new owners your next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Spurs have two top 10 draft picks. No way they’re getting Trae. They can get an ELITE passer, and another good defender with those picks.
It would be stupid not to trade for trae him and wemby would fit perfectly together
@@JGJ348what people don't realize is that Trae is the pick. Yes, they have draft picks that have to develop. IF they develop. Trae is a top 10 pick thats already developed. If they don't have the assets or money, that's cool. But to keep some Top 10 picks when you can just trade for the player that's 25 and already a 2 of 3 time all star is just stupid. It's how you lose players. Remember Kawhi
@@user-fw6gf8cg7d if they dont build around wemby he’s gonna leave them in a few years
@@JGJ348 U can build around Wemby with Trae he averages like 11 assists a game
@@JGJ348with how good Wemby is right now, they need right now players not picks.
the narrative is already out there man its over, trae to spurs is inevitable
A player who doesn’t share the ball and play off ball is won’t that the Spurs won’t want.
I don’t want to hear this at all. My hawks have so much potential. I love Trae Young. I hope he sticks around, but for some reason we can’t get the players needed to win a championship. It’s a shame. Atlanta is a great city!
Boricua Hispanic indian n black IAM.. trae young n wanbayama will be nice together in san Antonio Spurs. Wanbayama need a better player to help the team to play better.
Trae Young is injury prone and a turnover king. Just rebuild naturally
Dream would actually be LaMelo in SA. IF the hornets ever move on. Likely they won’t but with how bad they are constantly ……. Maybe they should and get picks to help Miller
I'm a Hawks fan, and I hate the Hawks so much.
Victrae= victory
You called it first 😂
Imagine a lob from trae to vic, that's some victrae right there 😤
@@titanian2141 aye!! If they link up; I need my piece on dat!!😂 #VicTrae
@@akamaptv2504 I hope they do, when it comes to trading him to SAS it's quite unlikely realistically but we hope sometime in the future they play on the same team and create a #VicTrae dynasty 😤
Gold! 🏆
Wait, you got a losing record in the Trae years? I thought you guys had won the Luka trade LMAO
Both teams have a losing record in their trades boss, mavs as well
@@adriansmith2295 yeh no. Luka has a 212 - 172 regular season record with the mavs. Don't talk smack
@@deadvedev3817 Both teams haven't made it past the conf. finals so that stat is incompetent both of them on equal levels ntm Trae had made it further into the playoffs losing in 6 and due to an injury while carrying his team without a 2nd star like Bunson was to Luka
@@adriansmith2295 dont conveniently change your position. You made a claim and it was wrong. Trae plays in the east. Luka was up against clippers 1st round. Trae should have the better record these past few years. No they are not equal.
@@deadvedev3817 Indeed they are you give me one reason besides that useless stat they both have accomplished pretty much the same also if I must say Luka has missed the playoffs more
Is there ever a championship team that has a non D starter? Trae will be great on rebuilding teams but a liability to any contender.
Even excluding Wemby, Pop's last 2 stars were on all NBA defensive teams. He knows that dropping 40 is only good for highlight reels, but winning the postseason is by playing tough D.
Spurs knew they were simply loaning DJM to the Hawks to give him better playing experience. When his wings are hardened, Pop would have him back in a heartbeat rather than Trae.
Kareem and Oscar
Trae is not that guy
It’s dump to trade for him honestly
If he comes in free agency than it makes sense
That defense is a killer. Spurs always have tried to emphasize good defense. Pop has benched Wemby for stretches because he's not giving enough effort and energy. Trae would get held to that standard.
I don't think San Antonio will expend their draft picks for Trae Young or any other star. They'll do the boring and prudent thing and build the team naturally through the draft. When they get closer to play-off contention in a season or two, they might start adding more talent, starting with better complementary players.
...it was reported that the spurs talked to the hawks about a trade for trae young before the trade deadline...the spurs want trae...i think they'll have more time in the summer to talk about it and make it happen... it's kind of obvious that trae wants to play with wemby in San Antonio...and it also was reported that his camp would be ok with a trade to the spurs...if his camp talked about it then trae has brought that up with his camp...I think the only reason it won't get done is if the hawks ask for vassell or sochan...keldon and there picks back which are 2025-27 first round picks plus a pick swap in 2026...and maybe another future first round pick...
I would trade 1 top 10 pick and sochan to be honest
Wemby's is ready now
With the number of TOV that Trae makes is not welcome in San Antonio
hawks will not trade trae.
Definitely not
Atlanta is not going to be competing for a chip anytime soon. During non-competitive years you dont trade the guy who is selling tickets. Its a poor business decision to trade him.
Atlanta is not known for its smart business moves .
Spurs will knock Spurs out if the running fir a high lottery pick in the loaded 2025 draft if they sign Trade.
I don't think Spurs get tre, and if they do, it would be around 2026 when he becomes a free agent.
Trae want to teamup with Wemby.
If Atlanta Hawks do trade Trae to the Lakers, this would be a disastrous move. Atlanta could have a bad losing 2024-2025 season without its star. Lakers should improve while the San Antonio Spurs would have the last laugh because they own Atlanta’s unprotected 2025 pick which could end up in the top 10 or higher. So if you the Hawks, do you prefer dealing with the Lakers and receive future assets or a chance at getting Cooper Flagg?
Not Sochan fits Wemby just fine
GSG
Trae young’s late season whaaaa?
Much rather keep picks…get Nikola Topic next draft and get another big and couple vets…no need to spend all on Trae
Fuck no. Spurs fan here btw. I can’t see this happening. R c Buford would come back from retirement and slap everyone.
As a spurs fan i agree haha
the high chances of spurs getting Cooper flag in 2025 together with trae and wemby will shake the entire NBA
If they get Trae, they are not getting Flagg. They won't be bad enough.
I do not like having Wenby and then putting close to him a 40% usage guy who shoots from 14meters and does not defend, only to get him a pick and roll partner. Spurs should maybe look for worse talent, but a better overall player.
I would rather trade for bench players and solid contributors right now. Maybe trade or sign guys like Vanderbilt, Drummond, Dinwiddie and so on.
Send him to the spurs
Don't count the hawks out!
LAKERS
Spurs drafting a PG Z
Trae would be good addition plus a hard nosed big man i would say Robert Williams and Vassel, Sochan and Johnson must stay to be very competitive next season.
DUDE TRAE IS NOT GOING TO THE SPURSSSSS TRAE HAS NO DEFENSE SPURS ARE LOOKING FOR A JA MORANT TYPE PLAYER SO EITHER LAMELO OR JA GOING TO THE SPURS THEVE MENTION IT TRAE IS NOT A FIT FOR THE SPURS.
That’s if their looking for experience
Like trae has great defense😂 Spurs are known for great defensive strat, trae is a liability at the def end. We dont need another offensive curry wanna be in spurs. Take note he is a bad defender 🤷♂️
Spurs fans in SA don't want Trae. 99% this doesn't happen. Trae is a douchey arrogant diva. The opposite type of player the Spurs make a move for.
Confirmed Trae to the spurs
Yeah idk who the spurs have to trade to get him lol
We not trading Austin for tre. Now if they want them picks for just tre cool. But the hillbilly mamba stays
The thing is, you’re not the one to decide 🤷♂️😂
@@ediwow5766 well thank you captain obvious. But guess what I bet reaves doesn’t get traded. How much you will to wager I’m wrong ??
@@bgarnett8463 Why would the hawks want shitty picks and Austin Reeves???? 😂
They would want all of their picks back from the Spurs to start a proper rebuild..
Doing business with the Lakers would hurt them long term ...
Trae to the pelicans should be looked into more, same with lavine to the hawks
If I am atl I will flip tre young right now
If you think Trae and Wemby in SA will do something special then you’re smoking crack 😂…the western conference is deep right now. You people act like SA is a PG away from being great and that’s not reality. He has also grinned around the idea of playing with Zion so what is your point?
Get Patty Mills instead
Yes the drawings are behind closed doors wink wink there’s no cheating nothing going on wink wink. We’re going to know if it’s rigged this year!!!
if the spurs take him, they're winning a ring in 5 years
Trae is overrated and would ruin Wemby.
Yep ,, he can’t share the spotlight, that’s why we lost JC!!
L take. young plays losing basketball. he is bad and a ballhog
Stop it why go from ATL to San Antonio? More money more opportunities. Yall send us Wemby. If yall wantrd a PG why not keep Dejounte?
Trade Dlo and a pick for Trae as lakers. Win win
Screw the lakers
A single pick? Hell no
@@user-by3yu1xq8q what you suggest then? Trae to spurs?
@@akamaptv2504 I doubt the spurs would trade for Trae cause they usually never make a huge trade but if the hawks dont make any moves this off-season and get eliminated in the first round again Trae would probably ask out to the spurs
Anything factual or just mere puffery?
Spurs need to give up the whole roster for Trae
