There are players who need to make themselves noticed, both on and off the court, and Trae Young is one of them. His talent is beyond doubt, almost as much as his polarizing ability. After spending seven prolific years in the spotlight, but also in disappointments, with the Atlanta Hawks, the new point guard of the Washington Wizards bid farewell to Georgia in his own way.

A devoted fan base, a city that gave him its soul to lead them to glory, and a franchise that believed in him even in the most challenging moments. That has been Trae Young's journey with the Atlanta Hawks, an organization that has ended up losing patience with the wayward point guard. In a message posted on his social media, the player wanted to say goodbye to his fans and his NBA home since he arrived, a result of the draft exchange involving Doncic for him. He has left no one indifferent.

"I never thought I would be writing this... 

The last few years haven't been as I would have liked. The expectations we set ourselves by reaching the Conference Finals, achieving a milestone that had never been reached before. Bringing a championship to Atlanta was always my goal. However, amidst injuries, setbacks, and situations beyond my control that I could never have imagined, we haven't been able to reach our potential.

The city that taught me everything and believed in me will always be an important chapter in my life. Nevertheless, the pain of staying was equal to the uncertainty of change, which is often scary, but I see it as an opportunity.

I'm going to face this new chapter in my life with enthusiasm, holding my head high and looking forward. It's time to see what's achievable when the support is real, and the vision of where to go is clear."
