In the recent basketball world, Trae Young's performance can be described as setting off a storm, and his various behaviors have undoubtedly pushed him to the focus of public opinion.
He spoke out on social media, criticizing the starting lineup of the United States men's basketball team for the upcoming Paris Olympics, and even proposed demoting Embiid to the bench.
As soon as this remark came out, Embiid suddenly became a laughing stock in the warm-up game, and Trae Young himself was pushed to the forefront of the storm.
It seems that on this basketball stage, you have to be careful every step, otherwise you may become the target of public criticism at any time.
At the same time, the current situation of the Atlanta Hawks is worrying.
The team is at a crossroads in their rebuild, and they have opted to pin their hopes on rising stars Rissachet and Jalen Johnson.
Johnson, in particular, had an eye-catching performance last season, averaging 160 points, 87 rebounds and 36 assists per game, shooting 51% from the field.
Despite his poor summer league performances, the Hawks were willing to give him plenty of time and opportunity to adapt to the NBA's cutthroat competition.
It can be seen that the road to reconstruction is not all smooth sailing, and the growth of rookies is also full of variables.
When it comes to Trae Young, the team's core figure, the Hawks' attitude towards him reveals an indescribable entanglement.
Back then, Trae Young was selected with the fifth pick and once became the team's hopeful star.
Especially in the 2019-2020 season, he averaged 296 points per game, which is unparalleled.
But the good times didn't last long, and in the following season, his form began to decline, and in the -2024 season, both the statistics and the impact on the field were not as good as before.
In particular, his holes on the defensive end have become the weakness of the opponent's attack.
Clearly, there is a rift in the team's unity.
Trae Young's leadership has also been questioned when it comes to leading his team to victory.
Missing out on the playoffs early for several seasons in a row has made the Hawks determined to rebuild.
However, Trae Young's $20.7 billion contract is a prohibitive mountain.
Even though the Lakers had intended to bring him in, they had to back down due to the possible negative impact.
This has left the Eagles in a dilemma, struggling to find a balance between rebuilding and stability.
Ultimately, the Hawks appeared to be undecided on Trae Young's future.
The trade with Doncic clearly puts the Hawks at a disadvantage, with Doncic already at the top of the league and Trae Young still falling short of the heights expected.
All of this reflects the difficulties of Trae Young's career and the profound implications for the future of the Hawks.
As the saying goes: between the trade-offs, Fang shows the true character of the hero, but the road to the Eagles' rebuilding seems to be more bumpy. #聊聊篮球巨星#
