Last summer, Hawks star Trae Young signed a five-year, $172 million contract with the team. Most fans thought it was a wise move at the time, and Trae Young was the core of the Hawks' team and a rare leader. More importantly, he is a confident and self-motivated star. Trae Young took the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Season 3 of his career took the team to the Eastern Conference Finals. There are only a few stars who have done this, but this season Trae Young has missed a good opportunity to raise his salary.
Last summer, Trae Young signed a contract with the team with the option that if Trae Young could be named to the NBA's All-NBA Team this season (2021-2022), his contract would reach $207 million for five years, equivalent to a 35 million increase. However, the probability of Trae Young being named to the Best Team this season is almost zero. He averaged 27.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game, which is Trae Young's stats this season, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate hit a career high. Some fans say that Trae Young' luxurious and comprehensive data can not be selected for the NBA's best team? The answer is simple, because of the record.
The Eagles' record this season is really not very good, there are reasons for running-in, there are reasons for the schedule, and of course, there is also a certain relationship with Trae Young. Although Trae Young's statistics are good this season, his control on the field is obviously not as good as last season, and his form is beginning to fluctuate. Trae Young slashed 39 points and 13 assists in the game against the Bulls on March 4, resulting in a sluggish feel in the next game against the Wizards. If it weren't for the full strength of his teammates to output the Hawks, it would be difficult to defeat the Wizards.
Yesterday's game against the Pistons, Trae Young, was even more depressed, scoring only 14 points and shooting less than 30 percent from the field. Defensively he was also mediocre, scoring 28 points by Cunningham. Losing to the Pistons is a microcosm of the Season for the Hawks, whose form is too volatile. Coupled with the Difficult Schedule for the Hawks at the beginning of the season, a wave of losing streaks may have lost their morale.
The Hawks currently have a 31-33 record in tenth place in the East, and the NBA's Best Team Guard competition this season is fierce. Doncic, Morant, Curry and DeRozan have already locked up a place in the best squad. The Suns, who are ranked first in the league, will have at least one star on the list, and paul and Booker are also very likely. Garland and Mitchell also have chances, with the Cavaliers currently in sixth place in the East and the Jazz in fourth place in the West. In terms of record, they are much stronger than Trae Young. Statistics are important when it comes to selecting the best team, but nothing is a castle in the air.
Now, many media in the NBA have realized that empty data without records is completely brushing and not convincing. Trae Young's stats this season are good, but the Hawks' record does not rise but falls, which seems a bit unreasonable. Of course, the season is not over yet, and if Trae Young can take the Hawks to a wave of consecutive wins to rush into the top nine or even the top eight in the East, he still has the hope of competing for the best team. Otherwise, with the Hawks' current record, the hope of Hitting Trae Young in the end is basically zero, and he will not be able to get a $2.07 Immortal contract with Doncic.
