A new week, a new rumor about the Spurs and Trae Young.

As far back as the trade deadline in February, Trae Young has seemingly been tied to the Spurs by multiple sources, often under the assumption that he will request a trade or be traded should the Atlanta Hawks decide to rebuild. Winning the draft lottery for the first time in their franchise history has only added fuel to the overall speculation about what the Hawks will do now that they have another enticing chip to either dangle in front of potential trade partners or use themselves to jumpstart the rebuild.

At the same time, the Spurs need a point guard who can feed Victor Wembanyama and score at least, and least on paper, Young fits the bill. The Spurs also have the assets to be a viable trade, including two top-8 picks this summer and some of the Hawks’ own unprotected picks over the next few years from the Dejounte Murray trade that they would likely like to back, so he may be more attainable than it originally seemed. However, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports, the Spurs apparently have not shown as much interest in Young as some rumors and “reports” have led us to believe.

With reports and rumors all over the place, it’s hard to know what and who to believe anymore, but one thing is for certain: the closer we get to the draft and free agency, the more these rumors will swirl up. And who knows? There may be a new “report” out next week the contradicts this one. The best thing to do is go with the flow and trust that PATFO will do what’s best.
