Trae Young's dad responds to trade rumors: 'He's busy trying to win in Atlanta'
Ray Young: This is what sucks about pro ball these days. Although I like Kevin’s stuff, now there’ll be articles on Trae like this👇🏾…just because “rival execs” believe something! Trae doesn’t talk to other teams😂 He’s busy trying to win in Atlanta. Will this ever end?

Asked Dejounte Murray about the chemistry between him and Trae, after assisting on the 3s that got him going:
Last night I told him at halftime, ‘Me and everybody else have got to be better. Even yourself, you’ve got to figure out what you can be better at’, but he carried us. pic.twitter.com/YJlOlR9Wxt – 2:35 PM

I ranked all 30 NBA teams by how badly they need to blow it up.
– The six nonflammable teams
– It’s not time to trade Trae. It might be time to trade a core Raptor
– I don’t know what the Lakers are doing and neither do they
– A three-way race for No. 1

On taking AJ Griffin out in the 4Q, Nate McMillan noted today that 1) AJ had played 12 straight minutes, 2) he took him out for Trae. (I think Hunter was the actual sub, but Trae came back in right around the same time.) – 1:03 PM

File this under trades that will never ever happen:
Jimmy Butler to the Lakers
Trae Young to the Heat
Two Lakers picks and three Heat picks to the Hawks
Trae and Bam are perfect for each other.
(No I don’t think the Hawks should trade Trae but hey that’s today’s news cycle). – 12:49 PM

In the last 10 minutes I’ve gotten two texts, a twitter DM and a WhatsApp message about that Trae Young report from B/R. Lest you think Spurs fans aren’t watching those future draft picks closely, Atlanta…
You too, Chicago! Don’t think for a second you’ve been forgotten lol – 12:27 PM

At the very least, that report on Trae got the first two words and the last sentence correct. – 12:12 PM

More on this storyline
The Atlanta Hawks aren’t in a very good place right now. Trae Young recently had a spat with head coach Nate McMillan that resulted in the two-time All-Star getting benched. This eventually led to rumors about Young supposedly wanting out of Atlanta and how he’s now on the brink of demanding a trade. Dejounte Murray, who himself joined the Hawks this summer with the objective of forming a star duo with Trae, has now spoken out about his relationship with Young. When asked to describe his chemistry with his Hawks star teammate, Young revealed that he recently challenged Trae to do better: “As far as Trae, he’s doing good,” Murray said, via Hawks reporter Kevin Chouinard. “Last night at halftime, I told him, ‘Me and everybody else have got to be better. Even yourself, you’ve got to figure out what you can be better at.’ But he carried us and kept us in that game.” -via Clutch Points / December 23, 2022
When it comes to players who have unequivocally been made available as a new calendar year approaches, Atlanta’s John Collins and Phoenix’s Jae Crowder still top the list in terms of prominence. League sources say Atlanta, while it is also managing recently revealed tension between star guard Trae Young and Coach Nate McMillan, has indeed widened the scope on its Collins trade discussions in recent weeks in hopes of finding him a new home. -via marcstein.substack.com / December 22, 2022
