Former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins believes the Atlanta Hawks point guard was wasting his time and talent on the franchise
DeMarcus Cousinsformer player of NBAdecided to give his opinion on the situation of Trae Young at the Atlanta Hawks and he went to great lengths to make it clear how much he hates it. In recent weeks, some trade rumors involving the point guard have gained a lot of traction behind the scenes around the league. Due to a ligament injury to the finger on his left hand, the player will not play for at least a month. In other words, in theory, he would only return for the end of the regular season.
According to Cousins, number 11 should leave the team. For the former center, Young is wasting his talent on a mediocre team. “I hope Trae Young never plays for the Hawks again. I feel like his talent and peak are being wasted. This team isn’t going anywhere. After all, they haven’t shown that they are trying to improve or take a step further. My hope is that he goes to the San Antonio Spurs. Anyway, it would be a perfect scenario”he commented, in an interview with the journalist Rachel Nichols.

So, the two agreed that Young going to the San Antonio Spurs it would make a lot of sense. The Texas team has the generational talent of Victor Wembanyama and a creative point guard would be a great fit for the franchise. “It’s a perfect match. It would make a lot of sense. This Hawks team is doing nothing for its top talent. I take this personally because I was in this situation once. So, I hope that this offseason he uses his power and moves to a team that will do him good.”added Cousins.
