Trae Young keeps it close to the chest when discussing trade rumors.

Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are gearing up for the play-in tournament. The Hawks will meet the Miami Heat for a chance at the Eastern Conference seventh seed. However, that hasn't stopped the NBA rumor mill from mentioning Young. Young has been the topic of recent potential trade discussions. While it would take a lot for the Hawks to deal with their young superstar. But nothing is impossible when regarding an NBA trade. For Young, he has everyone still guessing.

“It could be false, could be true, you never know,” Young answered when speaking with The Athletic. The Hawks star has been an offensive sensation since joining the league. In his time in college, Young was can't miss television for Oklahoma. The Sooners star was defying the odds of just how far someone can consistently shoot the ball. Obviously, the comparisons with Steph Curry were inevitable. Young has proved there is no range for a dead-eye shooter like him.

Trae Young's Future Seems Uncertain

Young's 2022-23 campaign has been exactly what you would expect from him. The two-time all-star averaged 26 points and 10 assists this season. However, the Hawks didn't make that leap in the Eastern Conference Standings. A potential early exit in the play-in tournament could really heat up the trade rumors. Young was traded on his draft night by the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. The trade is now known as one of the biggest NBA Draft trades in history. A trade that everyone is uncertain on who actually won.

The Hawks will have important decisions to make regarding their roster. Obviously, Young would like to see the team climb the Eastern Conference standings. However, that may be difficult to do with the Sixers, Celtics, and Bucks standing in the way. Do you believe Trae Young will be on another team next season? Let us know in the comment section.
