Is this a sign that Trae Young will leave the Hawks this summer? It's possible since the All-Star point guard decided to change agents, and it's never a trivial choice. Especially since Young is under contract until 2027 with Atlanta, with a “ player option » to be activated in 2026 if he wishes to be a free agent one year in advance.
Anyway, the leader of the Hawks has decided to part ways with Klutch Sports, the famous agency of Rich Paul, the agent and friend of LeBron James. 10 months ago, OG Anunoby left this agency, and he was transferred to the Knicks a few months later…
Young had also joined this agency, somewhat by default in 2020, when his agent Omar Wilkes left Octagon for Klutch Sports. A year ago, Wilkes chose to leave the agent profession to become involved with the Fanatics brand.
Trae Young's new agent is named Aaron Mintzand he works for CAA. In the NBA, he looks after the interests of Jalen Brunson, Paul George, Tyrese Haliburton and D'Angelo Russell. Precisely the path mentioned most often for Trae Young leads to the Lakers…
Player option : possibility for a player to activate (or not) the last year of his contract, in order to end his lease or become a “free agent” one year in advance.
