(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)   Long before he even made it to the NBA, Trae Young was a polarizing player. Some compared him to Stephen Curry and thought he was going to take the league by storm, while others were never a fan of his game. It’s been six years since he entered the league, and not much has changed. Some think Young is a star player and rave about his numbers, while others point out his inefficiency, turnovers, and lack of defense. Notably, it seems like even the Atlanta Hawks feel this way right now, as a report by Kurt Helin of Basketball Talk (Via NBA Central) reve ..read more

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)   The Atlanta Hawks need to make a decision and take a change of direction. On paper, adding Dejounte Murray next to Trae Young was a perfect plan. One was an elite backcourt defender, the other not so much. One was a three-level shooter, and the other did most of his damage in the restricted area, and both were savvy and willing passers and playmakers. Fast forward to today, and it’s become painfully evident that they cannot coexist. The team fared much better when one or the other was playing. Now, it seems like the team is leaning towards moving on ..read more

After more disappointment from the Atlanta Hawks, there is increasing belief that Young will be parting ways with his team this summer. But before that possibly happens, Young wants to clear some things up about the sort of player that he is. Speaking with Brad Rowland, via NBACentral, Young spoke about his view of the game. Young said: “People may think that I have to feel like I’m the best player on the team or the first option, I’m not that way ..read more

(Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)   The Atlanta Hawks have some big decisions to make in the offseason. It’s become painfully evident that their star backcourt isn’t a good fit together. Most people thought that Dejounte Murray was the perfect player to pair with Trae Young, as both of their flaws would cancel out. That hasn’t been the case thus far, and with them stuck in limbo, they might have to separate them. With that in mind, former NBA player Eddie House predicted that Young would be the odd man out. Talking on “The Carton Show,” House claimed that it’s not like Young cannot play ..read more

(Photo by Casey Sykes/Getty Images)   Not so long ago, the Atlanta Hawks looked like a team on the rise. They even reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and it seemed like it was a matter of time before they became a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. Fast forward to today, and that’s no longer the case. Of course, having Trae Young missing some time with an injury doesn’t help, but that doesn’t seem to be the reason here. As pointed out by StatMuse (via Courtside Buzz), the Hawks actually have a .500 winning percentage when Trae Young or Dejounte Murray play without each other and ju ..read more

(Photo by Casey Sykes/Getty Images)   When Dejounte Murray joined the Atlanta Hawks in the summer of 2022, he was seen as the missing piece that could bring the team to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The idea of Murray playing alongside Trae Young was seen as an offensive threat that would be nearly impossible to slow down. But it hasn’t worked out that way and that duo is on the brink of being broken up. StatMuse dug into the numbers and found that Murray’s win percentage without Young is .500, while Young’s without Murray is also .500. However, when both stars suit up and ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   Things just haven’t been working out for the Atlanta Hawks this season. Despite a new coach and the duo of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, the team remains the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference and is battling to stay in contention for the Play-In Tournament. Therefore, it’s not surprising to hear that Atlanta is expected to trade either Young or Murray this summer, according to Marc Stein, via Sam Amico.

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)   The Atlanta Hawks have been gradually sagging downward ever since they reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021. They lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs in both of the last two seasons, and right now, they seem destined to end up with the final play-in tournament spot in the East. But Atlanta will be getting some help soon, as All-Star guard Trae Young has reportedly been cleared to return to practice and participate in contact activities, per Adrian Wojnarowski. Hawks guard Trae Young has been cleared to resume contact and practice, t ..read more

(Photo by Casey Sykes/Getty Images)   For years, the Atlanta Hawks have been tangled up with countless rumors and narratives. The media has gone back and forth with reports regarding Trae Young’s or Dejounte Murray’s availability, alleged desire to be traded, and other team’s interest in their services. The days go by, and the pair continues to hold it’s ground in the backcourt. With that in mind, Murray recently claimed that he just doesn’t care or read too much into trade rumors, stating that he doesn’t even know who’s writing that stuff (via Bleacher Report). Murray believes that as l ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   A few years ago, the Atlanta Hawks made a blockbuster trade during the NBA Draft to acquire point guard Trae Young in a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, which resulted in Mark Cuban’s squad landing Luka Doncic. Even though Young has shown flashes of brilliance during his short time with Atlanta, it’s safe to say that the Hawks likely regret making this deal, with Doncic being one of the best players in the league as the undisputed leader of the Mavericks. Young has gotten to the point where he’s one of the most talented young point guards in the leagu ..read more
