Trae Young booked a private flight without alerting team in playoffs last season?
“The relationship between Schlenk and Young has deteriorated over recent months. Issues began following Game 2 of the playoff series against the Miami Heat last year. In the return to Atlanta, Young chartered a private flight and did not inform the team, according to several people familiar with the situation. In the middle of the playoffs, Young was fined.”

Trae Young joked that he wanted to talk about his four steals.
Said that having Dejounte Murray makes it a little easier to be aggressive on defense because he doesn’t have to worry about his team losing playmaking due to foul trouble. – 6:29 PM

Trae has been *great* going over screens, which is notable.
Drew an offensive foul earlier in the game, too. – 5:14 PM

Good scram switch by Bogi to keep Trae out of a Jimmy Butler post-up opportunity. – 5:08 PM

Trae got stuck at a tough angle in the paint, so he threw a pass off the glass to Collins, but it went down in the scorebook as a miss + OREB as it always does. – 4:49 PM

Until today, Hawks have had about 12:00 of basketball with a fully healthy roster.
They have one today, even if Capela is on a minutes restriction.
And they have a number of players, like Trae and Hunter, who are playing about as well as they have all season. – 3:52 PM

Trae Young’s three gave him 819 as a Hawk, breaking a tie with assistant GM Kyle Korver for 3rd place in franchise history. – 3:48 PM

Miscommunication between Gabe Vincent and Bam Adebayo on the switch allowed Trae Young to pull up for that open three-point look. Erik Spoelstra quickly calls timeout.
Hawks lead 21-16. – 3:45 PM

With that 3 from Trae, the Hawks go up 21-16 w/ 6:11 in 1Q.
Another thing of note is that Trae has been averaging 1.3 steals/game (2 games w/ multiple steals) over the last 7 games. He’s already had one today. – 3:44 PM

My picks for today’s Heat-Hawks game:
Always liking the Butler steals, and feel a Bam Adebayo offensive game
Plus while the Heat will switch everything, feel like Trae will get some triples

More on this storyline
I know especially after a game like this you’re not in a big picture head space, but I do wonder how you see the state of the operation. You’re talking about the front office change, the stuff with your coach. How are you feeling about all of it? Trae Young: I’m fine. I feel like there’s a lot of people outside that don’t really understand what’s going on inside. I just, I kind of laugh at it sometimes when people want to assume things and whatever. -via The Athletic / January 13, 2023
To me, the important takeaway is that you’re the guy leading this thing. So where’s your confidence level? Trae Young: My confidence level is high. Is Landry Fields a good guy to lead things? Trae: Great guy. Landry’s a great guy. So there’s confidence there? Trae: The confidence is always there. -via The Athletic / January 13, 2023
As I discussed on a December podcast visit with The Ringer, this reality that key Hawks figures were feeling undermined by Nick Ressler’s influence became a growing issue internally in recent months – specifically in relation to Trae Young — and had everything to do with Tony Ressler’s choice to overhaul the staff. The Dejounte Murray trade with San Antonio was the beginning of the end, as sources say it went down despite Schlenk expressing his concerns about the price being paid (three first-rounders, a first-round pick swap and Danilo Gallinari) and with Nick Ressler known to be a driving force behind the deal. -via The Athletic / January 13, 2023
