Trae Young was asked how he feels about trade rumors and potentially leaving the Atlanta Hawks. Young made it clear he wants to win, but that he wants to do it in Atlanta.

"For me, my whole vision was to always be here - like my whole goal is to win here," Young said. "Win championships, bring people here with me and build this, this championship here and dynasty here. But who knows? Like it's year six now and who knows? Like, for me, I want that."

Young was asked to clarify that he wants to stay with the Hawks, and he confirmed that desire.

"Yeah, I mean, yeah, you've heard it from the source, like I wanna win but that's what you've heard too. Like I just wanna win," Young answered. "So that's, that's in Atlanta. That's, that's where I wanna be, that's where I envision myself being. But that's, that's it. That's it."

Feb 20, 2024 3:07 PM

The Chicago Bulls gave "real consideration" to a trade of Alex Caruso to the Golden State Warriors ahead of the deadline, sources tell Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

The Bulls had maintained for weeks that they wouldn't trade Caruso, who is signed next season on a $9.89 million deal. Caruso is one of the league's best perimeter defenders and is hooting 40.1 percent on three-pointers this season.

Caruso is represented by Greg Lawrence of Wasserman.

The Warriors also reached out to the Los Angeles Lakers on a trade for LeBron James.

Nikola Jokic: If Luka Doncic Gets Pissed Off In Dallas, He Can Come To Denver

Feb 20, 2024 12:32 PM

After the All-Star Game on Sunday, Nikola Jokic was asked if he and Luka Doncic could someday play together. Jokic and Doncic appeared to connect as teammates on the Western Conference at the All-Star Game.

"I don't know," said Jokic in the interview translated by Miroslav Cuk. "It's possible. I don't want to leave Denver. I like it there. It's a great organization. But if Luka gets pissed off in Dallas, he can come."

The future of Doncic with the Dallas Mavericks has come into question in recent years as they missed the playoffs in 2023 after reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2022. Doncic cannot become a free agent until 2026.

Denver owes future first round picks to the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder.
