Trae Young has struggled to find his rhythm this season, averaging 22.1 points per game on 38% shooting, while also contributing 11.7 assists per game. His performance has been impacted by increased minutes and an Achilles injury that caused him to miss a game. As the Hawks explore their offensive direction, speculation about trading Young has intensified, although analysts suggest there may not be a strong market for him. Despite his current struggles, moving on from Young could significantly weaken the team, as the proposed trade options do not offer sufficient value in return.
