Trae Young, the star point guard for the Atlanta Hawks, has been making headlines recently with trade rumors swirling around him. Despite not being a free agent, there is speculation about a potential move for Young. The 25-year-old has spent his entire six-year NBA career with the Hawks, earning three NBA All-Star selections and averaging impressive stats of 25.5 points and 9.5 assists per game.
The rumors have intensified following the Hawks’ recent playoff disappointments, with the team failing to make it past the first round in the last two seasons. This has led to speculation about Young’s future in Atlanta and potential trade destinations. As of June 28, the odds for Young’s next team at DraftKings Sportsbook are as follows:
– Hawks: -185
– Spurs: +320
– Lakers: +500
– Heat: +1100
– Magic: +1700
– Nets: +1800
One team that stands out as a potential landing spot for Young is the Los Angeles Lakers. With odds of +500, the Lakers could be a good fit for the talented point guard. Analysts believe that Young’s shooting ability and playmaking skills would complement LeBron James and Anthony Davis well, providing the Lakers with much-needed floor spacing and offensive firepower.
Colin Cowherd, a prominent sports commentator, has expressed his support for a potential Young-Lakers partnership, highlighting Young’s ability to take some playmaking pressure off LeBron James and create scoring opportunities for the team. The idea of Young teaming up with established stars like James and Davis has generated excitement among fans and analysts alike.
In addition to the Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs are also considered a potential destination for Young, with odds of +320. The Spurs have a history of developing young talent and could provide Young with a supportive environment to continue his growth as a player.
