It surfaced this week that the Atlanta Hawks are working on trade options for Trae Young. The Kings have been rumored to be connected to a potential trade for Young for a while now, but in June Sam Amick reported that Sacramento was not interested in his offense-first style of play and the price of his contract. Amick reported Monday that they are still not interested:
“Sacramento has long been rumored as a possible suitor for Young, with the prospect of the Hawks landing former All-Star Zach LaVine in the process known to be of interest to the 30-year-old Kings guard. But a team source indicated on Monday that Sacramento has no interest in Young. That has been the Kings’ stance for quite some time now, and it remains unchanged.”
According to Cleaning The Glass, Young is in the 15th percentile in block%, 34th percentile in steal%, 0th percentile in offensive rebound% (yes, 0th) and 5th percentile in defensive rebounding%. He has played in 10 games this season, averaging 19.3 points, 8.9 assists and 30% from three.
He is owed $45.9 million this season and $48.9 million next season with a player option.
