Trae Young: 'My mindset is staying in Atlanta right now, I don't get caught up in the rumors'
The NBA trade deadline is in everyone’s rearview mirror now, but that hasn’t stopped trade speculations to swirl, including ones involving Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young. Despite the rumors, though, Young has made it clear that his main focus is on helping Atlanta win. “It is part of it. The best players in the game have been traded. I mean some of the few lucky ones have been blessed to be drafted in situations where they win championships and it all be perfect for them, they can stay in that one situation forever and that is what I wanted to do with Atlanta, but who knows?” the Hawks All-Star court general said after the 2024 NBA All-Star Game in Indiana on Sunday, via @JameelahJNBA (h/t Jackson Caudell of All Hawks). “It’s this type of league where things change and things happen, but obviously my mindset is staying in Atlanta right now, I don’t get caught up in the rumors and all that stuff, my contract is locked in for a couple of years and I don’t have very much to say about it right now,” Young added.

More on this storyline
In the final round, Towns (22) and Young (24) went first and set the stage for Lillard. “I think it’s an advantage just because you can see a target,” Lillard said of going last in both rounds. “You can see a target. You know what you have to get to. You’re not shooting just aimlessly where someone can come behind me and beat the score. You’re either going to have a chance to beat it or you’re going to fall short.” -via The Athletic / February 18, 2024
