NBA transfer: Los Angeles Lakers suddenly look at... young star Trae Young?

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 has been an All-Star twice and appeared in the All-Star team once. NBA and participated in the All-Rookie First Team.

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

The yellow and purple team still monitors 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's journalist 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: ball-leading defender and pure center.

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.

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. In particular, the most realistic target is currently Lowry, the 2019 NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors.
