The Hawks throw in the towel on Trae Young's trade

According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN, the Georgia franchise has given up as they couldn't find any suitors in the market for their star.

Trae Young, star of Atlanta Hawks.

This summer, Atlanta Hawks set out to embark on a strong rebuilding process after realizing their project was not progressing in the NBA. They first traded Dejounte Murray to the New Orleans Pelicans, and then focused on a potential exit for Trae Young that seems unlikely to materialize.

According to reports from NBA Rumors by ESPN journalist Tim MacMahon, "There is no real market for Trae Young. If there was, he would already be elsewhere," revealing that despite being one of the league's top stars, no franchise is willing to part with so many assets in a hypothetical trade.

Thus, all signs point to Young starting the season with a Hawks team that still has Bogdan Bogdanovic, Clint Capela, and a Zaccharie Risacher who holds most of the team's hopes as the number 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Not even the San Antonio Spurs made a move

To wrap up, Tim MacMahon discussed the rumors surrounding San Antonio Spurs as a potential key player in pursuing Trae Young: "If they truly wanted Young, the Spurs could have easily gone for him. But they didn't. There hasn't been a market for the player."
