The Atlanta Hawks have not delivered on all their promise over the last few seasons.
Trae Young has been leading the team for several years now and Dejounte Murray was added last season but the Hawks remain the tenth seed in the East with a 24-31 record.
Because of that, there is a lot of speculation that the team could look very different when next season kicks off.
According to Kevin O’Connor, via Evan Sidery, Young is “highly likely” to be traded this offseason.
Additionally, the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs would be considered the top teams to get the talented guard.

There have been growing rumors about Young over the last couple of seasons.
He was allegedly unhappy with the state of his team last year but apparently, that feeling has only grown since then.
The Lakers and Spurs would love to have Young on board as they imagine him as the future of their teams.
For the Lakers, he could deftly fit in alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Additionally, he could help the Lakers focus on a post-James era as he would work wonderfully alongside Davis in the future.
As for the Spurs, they would love to match Young alongside Victor Wembanyama.
Wembanyama is clearly one of the best young players in the NBA right now but the team around him isn’t leading to many wins.
They are currently the worst team in the Western Conference with an 11-44 record.
Both the Lakers and Spurs believe that Young could greatly turn things around for them and they would work hard to get him this summer.
Which team will come out on top?
