Trae Young recently on Instagram reposted a “goodbye” video to a kid who was a huge Atlanta / Trae Young fan.
The caption of the post from the kid said “I’ll miss you bro 💔💔🖤🖤 you will always be my best friend”
Trae Young responds with “Friend for life! We locked in forever bro 🤞🏽🩵”
Very heartwarming.
With the primary math and unemotional analysis done, I have some human thoughts on Trae Young getting traded:
7.5 years in, it's hard to see a player leave a team and city he's meant to so much to. The Hawks and Young didn't win a title, but you don't have to do that to cement a legacy. Things run their course, especially in sports, but it's still sad to see a special player who meant a lot to Atlanta and Hawks moving on.
