San Antonio a potential landing spot for Trae Young?
But for now, one spot other than Los Angeles that’s repeatedly been mentioned by NBA figures as a potential home for Young — if Atlanta were to ever consider parting with its franchise face and All-Star lead ball-handler — is San Antonio. The Spurs do lack a clear-cut pick-and-roll partner for rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.

Kristaps Porzingis definitely did not shy away from discussing the Celtics’ desire to hunt Trae Young. When asked about their success at the rim, Porzingis said, “To be honest we were just kind of in the flow of the game. We tried to, of course, attack Trae a bit more, look for… – 10:26 PM

The Hawks could really use some scoring from Trae Young, who hasn’t made a field goal since 10:34 in the 2Q. He’s 6-20 overall from the floor.
The Celtics have been really aggressive with their defense on him and he’s had to contend with the Celtics’ size under the rim. – 9:22 PM

Trae Young with a behind the back to Jalen Johnson at the top of the key for 3 briefly cut the lead to 95-93 but the Hawks left Derrick wide open on the other end. Celtics push the lead back to 5 – 9:14 PM

This is not based on reporting. It’s pure speculation.
If the Lakers make a three firsts/three swaps trade this summer, I don’t think it’ll be for Donovan Mitchell. I think it’ll be for Trae Young.
