Amidst swirling trade rumors surrounding Atlanta Hawks' star Trae Young, the 25-year-old point guard has reiterated his desire to remain with the team where he was drafted, expressing a strong attachment to Atlanta.
On his latest revelation on his podcast From the Point by Trae Young, he said,” Everybody knows that I want to be in Atlanta. When I was drafted here, I said that I wanted to spend my whole career here, but at the same time, I want to win," the three-time NBA All-Star said.
However, Young also acknowledged that he is high on hopes of staying loyal to the Hawks, but the clock is running at pace for him.
"There are times that teams want to be slow with winning and a process but I am not there anymore, like I want to win and I have always been that way, I feel like I don't have very much time to waste," he further added.
Additionally, given the Hawks' recent first-round playoff exits in 2022 and 2023 and missing the playoffs in 2024, Young's future with the team remains uncertain, as trade whispers persistently circulate within the NBA community.
