Steak Shapiro to Hawks: 'You can't trade away your franchise'

Steak Shapiro and Sandra Golden share their thoughts on Trae Young's response to trade rumors surrounding him

While the NBA trade deadline has come and gone, rumors of Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young have been circulating, including an unconfirmed report that the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers had made contact with Atlanta to inquire about a trade for Young.

Over the weekend, Young was asked by a reporter about his thoughts on hearing the rumors to which he acknowledged that while he has desire and intent to remain with the Hawks, he completely understands that even he could be moved, as some of the best players of the game have been traded in the past.


On Tuesday, Steak Shapiro and Sandra Golden shared their thoughts on hearing Young's response. Steak believes there should be no expectation of Young playing his entire career in Atlanta as he noted several former NBA stars such as Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O'Neal being among players who played for multiple teams.

As the conversation continued, Shapiro would tell Golden that he believes it will be "fascinating" over the next few months to see how things develop between Young and the Hawks, however he is not sure how Atlanta could move on from their All-Star.

"You can't trade away your franchise, but yet where is your franchise," Shapiro asked.
