According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is “intrigued” by the idea of playing with Trae Young. The Atlanta Hawks guard has been a rumored potential trade target for the Spurs for months. He revealed as much during a recent appearance on The Hoop Collective podcast.

“I will say I have talked to people who know Wemby who have indicated he is at least intrigued by the idea,” MacMahon said. “Now, intrigued by that idea and pounding the table are two very different things. I have no idea whether Gregg Popovich would be intrigued by the idea.”
The Hawks just won the first pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, so there’s a chance that they will take this opportunity to strip down the roster and rebuild. Trading Young could be the start of that.
Meanwhile, as the Spurs look to improve their roster around Wembanyama, adding an elite offensive player like Young could be a great way to maximize his talent on that end of the floor.
