Trae Young is an elite playmaker but has shown no willingness to excel off-ball next to another shot-creator in Dejounte Murray. And he’s a small defender that gets targeted by offenses. A ton of teams already have good PGs. A genuine question: Which teams would really want Trae? https://t.co/TjL6UzVoow

This is what sucks about pro ball these days. Although I like Kevin’s stuff, now there’ll be articles on Trae like this👇🏾…just because “rival execs” believe something! Trae doesn’t talk to other teams😂 He’s busy trying to win in Atlanta. Will this ever end? https://t.co/jWjWDkuYcN

There have been six 27/9 seasons in the last 50 years. Trae has 3 of them. pic.twitter.com/OP0R8n7GMk

Rival executives believe Trae Young could be the next player on a rookie max extension to request a trade if the team doesn't make inroads come postseason time 🤯🤯🤯

trade rumors of stars come & go every few months, with 2 recently surfacing in Trae Young & Zach Lavine

how do you feel about each as a Thunder & would you want them to make a run if the opportunity came?

The Rockets are in a good position to acquire a disgruntled star, but I wouldn’t trade all of my draft capital and more for Trae Young..

He’s an amazing talent but he’s one of the worst defenders in the NBA who you’d have to structure your entire roster around.. Not worth it. pic.twitter.com/rOG8GjEETG

Trae Young on the Pelicans makes a lot of sense to me for both teams if he demands a trade.

Trying to wrap my head around what team would trade for Trae Young if that even happened?

Magic would be fun af. Jazz, Houston, Toronto, Denver would be interesting as well.

Not a single chance Trae Young could be traded to the Heat… but it’s fun to think what Butler, Adebayo, and Young would do lol

Trae Young is awesome but hell to the Nah. He seems alittle temperamental https://t.co/lgZuYI5mW4

There’s always 2-3 players in the NBA that are in trade rumors every single year but never get moved

Lakers receive: Trae Young
Hawks receive: Russell Westbrook

Donovan Mitchell is better than Trae Young
