The 24+12 defender is in the middle of the team, the Lakers become potential next home, and the Eastern Conference Third Team is also interested in him?

Since Doncic was sent to the Lakers, I believe everyone will sigh that no player will be safe in today's league. As long as it involves enough interests, or if the management is not satisfied, the player may be kicked out. So Doncic will change teams, and Trae Young, who is in his same class, seems to be safe, and the Hawks are not accustomed to the latter either.

According to local reporters, Hawks star guard Trae Young is also involved in rumors of leaving the team. In fact, he averaged 24.2 points and 11.6 assists per game last season. But the Hawks' record is really bad. Even though the overall East is weak, the Hawks still lost to the Magic and Heat in the playoffs and finally entered the lottery zone. Trae Young, as the core, has a too thin figure. He has not made any breakthroughs in recent years, both individually and teams. It is actually reasonable that the Hawks are unwilling to renew their contract with a super maximum salary. Of course, if Trae Young changes teams, it will be like Doncic. The salary of the next contract will drop sharply, and the market will be much better. Therefore, according to media forecasts, the Lakers will become one of his potential next players. In addition, the Heat, Nets and Wizards in the Eastern Conference seem to be interested in him.

It is normal for the Lakers to be on the list. On the one hand, the media likes to build momentum. As long as there is a possibility of leaving, they will always add the Lakers' name in habit. On the other hand, because he is in Los Angeles, the Lakers do like to build a star lineup. With Doncic, if he adds the fifth pick Trae Young in the same class, the viewing and topics will be full. The only problem is that Doncic and Trae Young are both players with strong offense and weak defense. The tacit understanding and chemical reaction between the two may not be that outstanding.

Heat also like to chase stars, and they are in an awkward situation now and lack talent on the offensive end. If Trae Young is obtained, the Heat should be able to make up for this problem, and the team has many defensive players. Trae Young's defensive flaws can be covered up by his teammates and the Heat in a relatively perfect way.

The remaining two teams are in the reconstruction period, and they are intended to exchange for Fox. The situation seems to be similar. Before the young players grow up, there is an instant defender as a passer-and-leader, and at the same time, they hope to improve their performance slightly. The Nets have been in a mess in recent years, and their salary space is very sufficient, and they haven't even reached the poor line. Trae Young has the nickname "Mayor of New York", which may also increase the Nets' interest.

The Wizards are busy this summer, but I'm afraid the new season will not change much. If they get Trae Young and use him as the core to win, considering that the East is now pecking the chickens, the Wizards have the chance to win the playoffs. Perhaps this is not a outstanding achievement, but considering that the Wizards have performed very poorly in recent years and it is not realistic to reach the top in one step, this has been considered a breakthrough.
