Right now, skepticism reigns around the Hawks franchise and the future of Trae Young.
A former teammate of the superstar even told a story that helps us better understand the magnitude of the situation… not enough to improve Atlanta’s image.
The Hawks are one of those teams in the league still looking for a first title in the 21st century.
In fact, to see this team lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy for its first and only time, we have to go back to 1958 when it was still playing in St.

But things are not necessarily going as expected, far from it. Aside from an honorable qualification for the Eastern Conference finals in 2021, the disappointments have been coming one after the other over the years.

But at the time, even as a basketball player today, you can never accept this situation, because I try to win every game.
So that’s how it happened”.
Every athlete is driven by the will to win.
However, success paradoxically becomes a failure in some cases in the eyes of the leaders.
In reconstruction for several years, the Falcons are struggling to place themselves on the front of the stage. It is clear that the franchise’s objective is to start a new cycle to this day.
To do this, you have to lose to maximize your chances at the Draft.
This bet has proven fruitful for them with the arrivals of Trae Young or Zaccharie Risacher, even if this strategy raises questions among some NBA fans on the web.
That’s why the Hawks are still in the same situation
It’s not been a good time to be a Hawks supporter or a Trae Young fan.
Even more so when you hear from former team members like Taurean Prince that defeats are sometimes desired by coaches…
