Not even 24 hours after the Atlanta Falcons announced the firings of head coach, Raheem Morris, and general manager, Terry Fontenot, Atlanta was front and center of the sports world as reports of the Hawks and guard, Trae Young, are working together to find a trade for the four-time All-Star.

“We, as the Hawks’ organization Mike, want to give up assets,” 92-9 The Game’s Carl Dukes said on Tuesday as he and cohost Mike Bell, discussed the Young trade speculations and explained why he believes the Hawks cannot afford to give up too much to satisfy a Young trade.

“I don’t to give up picks and I’m certainly not giving up any of my young players in trying to trade Trae Young away,” Dukes said, noting concerns of Young possibly having a list of preferred destination that would make it difficult for the Hawks to recoup adequate value for Young. “The team ultimately has to do what’s best for them,” Dukes said.
