Lakers, Pelicans, Spurs appeal to Trae Young as possible destinations

Now, it remains unclear how the Hawks will be proceeding. But for NBA insider and analyst Bill Simmons, the answer has become more clear. Speaking on his eponymous podcast, Simmons revealed that a few of his sources have indicated that the Hawks, more likely than not, are going to move on from both Trae Young and Dejounte Murray this offseason. “The thing I keep hearing from people is that if it was an over of one on FanDuel, Trae and Murray get traded and the over’s one and you could bet under, push, or over, that some people seem to think both of those guys are getting traded is a thing I’ve heard,” Simmons said on the latest episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast. “From different people that don’t know each other, who know things, [they said that the Hawks are] just like, ‘You know what, we’ve got the number one pick, this didn’t work, we got to the Conference Finals that one time, let’s just try to blow this up.’” -via Clutch Points / June 11, 2024
