Despite of an emerging career over his six season tenure, Atlanta Hawks player Trae Young seems to have not much value in the market currently. The Hawks star remains unnoticed in the ongoing trade season with no teams proposing any deals to acquire him in the team’s roster. This, however, suggests the amount of unpopularity Young has in NBA.
NBA reporter Tim MacMahon elaborating on Young’s underwhelming market value, states on the kind of trade deal the Hawks are looking forward from their point guard.
“The simple face of the matter is if there was a real Markey for Trae Young, he’d be somewhere else right now,” MacMahon said. “There wasn’t a real market for him and he doesn’t necessarily need to re-establish a trade market for himself.”

Further elaborating on Hawks current status in the market, he also states on Spurs holding authority over the draft.
“He’s in a bad situation in Atlanta because the Hawks are in a position where they should be entering what would hopefully be kind of a rapid buildup,” MacMahon explained. “They can’t but because the Spurs have all their draft capital.”
