If achieving mediocrity was the Atlanta Hawks’ goal, then they’ve more-than achieved it over the last decade. While being middle-of-the-road with stars
For the past few seasons, the Atlanta Hawks have been spinning their basketball tires. Not bad, but not really going anywhere. Now, there are rumors that they could look to trade star guard Trae Young, the face of the franchise and a man who led them to the Eastern Conference finals three seasons ago.
Young's future with the Atlanta Hawks will be a hot topic this summer.
One NBA writer has proposed that the Atlanta Hawks trade Trae Young to the New Orleans Pelicans for CJ McCollum. Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report thinks Young can help the Pelicans become a contender. “If dropped into McCollum’s place, Young would give New Orleans more off-the-dribble pep and a huge step forward in passing,” Buckley wrote.
One of the most prevalent NBA rumors that are swirling around the league is the Atlanta Hawks looking to make a big trade this offseason. Their acquisition of Dejounte Murray has not panned out as well as they had hoped, which now has them considering another big move.
According to NBA insider Kurt Helin of NBC Sports, the San Antonio Spurs are not interested in acquiring Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks. The Spurs don’t view Young as a good fit next to Victor Wembanyama.
The Atlanta Hawks have plenty of problems as they prepare for the offseason. They’re five years into the Trae Young project, but it hasn’t produced as many playoff moments as they would have liked.
There is no doubt that the San Antonio Spurs will be active in the offseason as they look to build their team around Victor Wembanyama. A new point guard appears to be atop this team’s priority list in the offseason, with Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young rumored to be a potential trade candidate for the Spurs.
Ever since their run to the Eastern Conference Finals a few years ago, it has been all downhill for the Hawks. The team has taken a step back with each
The Hawks have struggled to build a contending roster around Young.
The Atlanta Hawks enter the 2024 offseason with several pressing questions. However, the main focus remains the backcourt pairing of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray.
The 2023-24 NBA season has been a roller coaster of high-profile trades and unexpected moves. From James Harden to OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam, the league has seen its fair share of stars changing jerseys.
The Atlanta Hawks were one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA during the 2023-24 regular season. Their blockbuster trade to acquire Dejounte Murray during the 2022 NBA offseason has not panned out as well as planned, which will lead to some major changes to the roster this summer.
A long offseason is here. After going all in on to bring Dejounte Murray from San Antonio to Atlanta in the summer of 2022, the franchise has reached an ominous crossroads.
The Los Angeles Lakers are known to chase stars and win championships, making them one of the most prestigious franchises in the world. With LeBron James nearing the end of his career and the organization trying to cash in on one more championship, a name that has been floated around is Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young.
The Atlanta Hawks have failed to qualify for the 2024 NBA after losing to the Chicago Bulls during the play-in tournament, which is a huge letdown for a team that was expected to compete for at least a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference.
After striking out on a Damian Lillard trade last summer, the Heat will reportedly go chasing for another star player in this year's offseason.
Despite Trae Young‘s personal success, the Atlanta Hawks have struggled to replicate the surprising success of their 2021 Eastern Conference Finals appearance.
In probably the least shocking development of the entire NBA season, the Hawks decided to essentially stand pat last offseason, and they ended up getting the exact same results as they did a year ago, squeaking into the play-in tournament before ultimately getting eliminated.
Trae Young’s time playing for the Atlanta Hawks may come to an end after his disappointing Play-In performance against the Chicago Bulls. With fans calling for the All-Star point guard’s head, the front office may have to act swiftly during the offseason.
Murray seemed to momentarily lose his cool, throwing up his arms and yelling off to the side.
Trae Young didn't expect the Atlanta Hawks to be on the outside of the playoffs looking in.
When it comes to Trae Young, let’s remember this — the Atlanta Hawks were a series away from the NBA Finals three years ago. But the Hawks lost to the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks in those Eastern Conference Finals.
Young scored 15.0 PPG while playing 26.6 MPG in three games last week upon returning from hand surgery.
The 2023-24 NBA regular season finale was not a pretty one for the Atlanta Hawks. They lost to the Indiana Pacers by 42, falling 157-115. The game was more competitive before head coach Quin Snyder removed his starters from the lineup, but it still isn’t the kind of performance a team would want heading into a do-or-die elimination game.
The Hawks are locked into the Eastern Conference’s 9-10 play-in tournament game against the Bulls, though home court for that April 17 game has yet to be determined.
