The Eagles did not renew Yang Ti’s contract! Is the 6th PG in the league expensive for 229 million in four years? US media speaks out for the young hero

On August 6, according to the report of NBA famous reporter Mark J Spears, Trae Young and his team were disappointed that the Hawks did not provide him with a contract renewal, because Trae Young and Fox are both able to sign a four-year, 229 million maximum salary. Fox has reached this maximum salary with the Spurs in advance, and the Hawks have not yet provided this maximum salary.

Trey Young's current contract is 207 million for five years, which was originally 172 million for five years. Because it was selected for the Best Third Team in the 21-22 season, the maximum salary clause for the designated rookie was increased to 207 million for five years. In addition, Tray Young's contract also contains 15% of the transaction margin. The total contract is actually 215 million for five years, of which the 26-27 season is the player option.

Trey Young played 76 regular season games last season, averaging 24.2 points, 11.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.18 steals, 0.16 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 41.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 34%. Tray Young's data is still at the All-Star level, and he plays the role of a stabilizing needle in Atlanta, where new and old are alternating.

A day ago, in the top 26 point guards selected by US media Hoops Hype, Trae Young ranks sixth in the league, Dalong Fox ranked ninth in the league, and Fox all completed four-year, 229 million early renewal. Why are the Hawks unwilling to renew Trae Young?

Local media in Atlanta wrote: It seems that the Hawks have a better point guard choice than Trae Young! Trae Young is a very outstanding point guard. He can easily complete 20+10 per game. He once led the Hawks to the division finals, and such a point guard is not something that can be found casually.

Because Trae Young is a player option in the 26-27 season, he can break out of his contract and become a full free agent in the summer of 2026. Once the Hawks fail to negotiate a contract extension with Trae Young, Trae Young may be sent away before the trading deadline for next season.

If Trae Young really wants to be traded, it will inevitably attract multiple teams to rob, but I feel that the Hawks will choose to renew their contract with Trae Young in the end. After all, Trae Young is here and is one of the top point guards in the East.
