Trae Young Shuts Down NBA Trade Rumors in a Unique Hard Iced Tea Announcement Video
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has recently addressed trade rumors and speculation about his future. While eligible for a four-year, $229 million contract extension, no new deal has been finalized. Recent buzz emerged after Young’s Instagram post in collaboration with TNT Sports’ Adam Lefkoe. During the video, Young humorously addressed his Atlanta tenure.
Unique Video Announcement
In the video, which mimicked LeBron James’ “Second Decision” ad for Hennessy, Lefkoe asked Young a direct question about his future in Atlanta. Despite some initial confusion, Young confirmed his commitment to the city by saying, “Dude, I’m not done with Atlanta, I love Atlanta.” The video served as a promotional announcement for Young’s new partnership with Crooked Tea, playfully distancing from “syrupy, artificial, sugar bombs.”
Impact on NBA Trade Rumors
The announcement comes amid ongoing trade speculations, with Young being eligible for free agency in 2026, should he decline his player option. While there are questions about his long-term future, Young’s recent remarks indicate his attachment to Atlanta.
