Overview

  • Trae Young is eligible this summer for a four-year, $229 million max extension but has not received a formal offer from the Hawks.
  • ESPN insider Marc Spears said Young’s recent social-media posts reflect his disappointment over the stalled negotiations.
  • Atlanta’s new front office, led by GM Onsi Saleh, has yet to hold substantive extension talks as it evaluates Young’s fit with its revamped roster.
  • This offseason the Hawks added Kristaps Porziņģis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard to boost support around Young’s playmaking.
  • With one guaranteed year remaining on Young’s rookie deal and trade rumors simmering, a decision on his future may not come before next summer.
