"For me, I'm so focused. I'm more happy about the team that we got going into this season. I'm blessed, bro. I wasn't stressing about anything. If something happened, it happened. If it didn't, I still got time. I'm focused on this team. I'm focused on right now. I got a great team going into the season that you can't say I've had [before]. So I'm even more excited about that. Who knows what the future is for me. But right now I'm here and I'm present like me and Coach [Quin Snyder] have been talking about. I'm ready to go."
"I don't know [about] the word disappointment, I mean, maybe, for sure,"
"For me, it's exciting having those guys, more voices that know what it takes to win at a high leve"
Trae Young enters the season without a new contract extension but is eligible for a four-year, $229 million deal and is not stressing about timing. He says he is focused, present and excited about the roster additions. Efficiency is a priority after leading the league with 11.6 assists and averaging 24.2 points, while shooting a career-low 41.1% and averaging 4.7 turnovers. The Hawks added Kristaps Porzingis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard to a core that includes Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu. Young and coach Quin Snyder are aligned and ready to compete.
