24 hours ago, it was reported that Trae Young's time with the Hawks is likely coming to an end.
The Hawks currently sit in the last play-in tournament spot, well below where some would have expected them to be nearly 40 games into the regular season.
The Hawks will now have to try and find a destination for Young, with the NBA Trade Deadline less than a month away (Feb. 5).
When could Trae Young be traded?
ESPN's Shams Charania reported on NBA Today, "[Trae] appears to be in his final days and weeks in Atlanta after seven-plus seasons together as the face of that franchise. I'm told both Trae Young and the Hawks know he just doesn't fit with the current team anymore."
Through 38 games, the Hawks have a record of 17-21.
In Young's 10 games played this season, the Hawks are just 2-8.
The Hawks have been able to stay afloat without him, and it appears that they've mutually agreed that moving on from Young is the right decision.
Young has a player option worth ~$50 million for next season, and can become a free agent this summer.
Neither side was able to reach an extension in the period since he became eligible to negotiate one, leading to a slow fallout between Young and the Hawks.
The haul Atlanta will get for Young is unknown, as there are various factors from his contract to his on-court abilities that could limit the ways teams value him in trade talks.
Expect this to be one of the biggest stories in the NBA over the next couple of weeks, as the Hawks explore options for Young with just a few weeks left to get a deal done.
