Trae Young, a pitcher once considered a copy of Stephen Curry, is suddenly a transfer target for the Los Angeles Lakers if he wants to leave the Atlanta Hawks.

Not many experts and fans have thought about the prospect of the Atlanta Hawks wanting to “destroy and rebuild”, pushing away all the stars to rebuild the squad.

But if this really happens in the future, the name that attracts the most attention is definitely Trae Young – a defender born in 1998 who had 2 All-Star appearances, 1 appearance in the All-Star team. NBA and participated in the All-Rookie First Team.

In the event that Young wants to change the competitive environment, many teams will enter the race and the prominent among these is the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers will enter into negotiations with the Atlanta Hawks if the team gives the “green light” for Trae Young to leave.

According to journalist Jovan Buha of the prestigious website The Athletic, Trae Young “has long been on the radar of the Los Angeles Lakers” .

The purple-yellow jersey team is still monitoring the situation at the Atlanta Hawks, especially in the past two seasons when Trae Young and his teammates did not have good results.

The Athletic reporter said that if the Hawks intend to rebuild the squad and trade the 25-year-old star defender, the Lakers will certainly participate in negotiations.

In the most recent season, Trae Young averaged 26.2 points, 10.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The above assist index alone is the best in his entire career.

In the past few seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers have always lacked quality players in two positions: dribbling defender and pure striker.

While LeBron James and Anthony Davis can both fill this role, they still need the support of other players to ensure their fitness throughout the season, and can create mutations when needed.

In the most recent season, Trae Young averaged 26.2 points, 10.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Journalist Jovan Buha added that in addition to Trae Young, the Lakers are tracking three more big names for the PG position: Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving and Kyle Lowry. Among them, the most realistic target is currently Lowry, the 2019 NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors.
