Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young recently added to the trade rumors when he sent a cryptic message on social media. Young was subjected to these rumors well before Atlanta’s disappointing 2023-24 season ended in the NBA Play-In tournament.

Just a few years ago, Young was considered one of the best young players in the league. Since then, his reputation has taken a bit of a hit.

Even then, we’re talking about a 25-year-old guard who’s averaging 25.5 points and 9.5 assists over his six-year career. There will be interest in his services. Here, we look at five ideal scenarios involving Young this summer.
