As the Atlanta Hawks have expressed genuine interest in acquiring Anthony Davis, it's been widely perceived that the franchise is now open to moving the franchise guard.
The narratives became even more intriguing about Young's future in Atlanta after the Hawks recently outlasted the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 126-102 win. Young (quad) didn't play as the Hawks finally snapped their seven-game losing skid.
Amid ongoing speculations, Stacey King dismissed the idea that Atlanta will deal Young away this season.
"News flash, the owner loves him. He’s not going anywhere. When the owner loves you and the owner’s son loves you, Trae Young is not going anywhere," King said on his Gimme The Hot Sauce Podcast.
King holds a more identifiable connection to the Chicago Bulls than to the Hawks. But his words regarding Young are something worth monitoring.
Young is averaging 19.3 points and 8.8 assists in his eighth season as a Hawk.
