Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young is one of the hottest names on the trade block ahead of February's deadline.
ESPN reported earlier this week that the Hawks and Young are working on a trade that would send him elsewhere. The Stein Line's Jake Fischer reported Wednesday that Young's camp has expressed interest in the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves.
"I am told that Trae Young’s camp has suggested Minnesota and Brooklyn, from their side, as two attractive potential destinations," Fischer said.
But neither of those teams are expected to target Young, he wrote.
"Yet I'm also told that neither the Timberwolves nor the Nets are in pursuit."
The Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards are two other teams that have inquired about Young. He's under contract for $45.9 million this season and has a player option this offseason.

Young has been limited to 10 games this season due to injury and hasn't played since late December. He's averaging 19.3 points, 8.9 assists and shooting 41.4% from the field. Atlanta didn't extend him this offseason and may want to build around Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker instead.
Young's value has been questioned by rival teams around the league. He's a smaller guard who has battled injuries throughout his career. His shooting numbers have dipped from where they were earlier in his career.
A Young-to-Brooklyn trade would take minutes away from the Nets' four rookie guards, all of which were first-round picks. The fit between him and Cam Thomas would be quirky, as both are ball-dominant players.
