Trae Young has been linked to multiple teams this offseason, from the Utah Jazz to the LA Lakers. The Atlanta Hawks have already made a trade for Dejounte Murray when they sent the guard to the New Orleans Pelicans. Amidst all the noise surrounding his trade, Young is busy putting work for the next season.
In his Instagram post, on July 4, Young posted a picture of himself flexing in front of the mirror after a workout session. Young showed off his biceps for a mirror selfie in his beard look. Posting the picture on his IG story, Young wrote:
“Ain’t skipping cause a holiday?!?”

Young has been consistent in his social media posts, sharing his workout sessions with his followers. In a separate post on his X handle on July 1, he was seen with his wife Shelby Miller, and his son Tydus playing in the water.
Despite the trade rumors surrounding him, the Hawks star is gearing up for the next season. The Hawks drafted Zaccharie Risacher at No.1 in the 2024 Draft and perhaps that should put things in perspective for the team in the future.
Utah Jazz reportedly eyed trading for Trae Young in a potential Lauri Markkanen trade
The trade rumors surrounding Trae Young and Dejounte Murray have been circulating in the media since last season. With the NBA free agency in full-blown mode, a report by Yahoo Sports suggested that the Utah Jazz were interested in trading for Young and Murray.
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, even though the Jazz wanted to keep Lauri Markkanen with the team, they were open to listening offers for their forward player. Fischer reported that the Jazz had Mikal Bridges, Murray, Young and Paul George on their radar in the free agency.
“The Jazz, as previously reported at Yahoo Sports, were looking into trading for Bridges, held conversations with Atlanta about both Dejounte Murray and Trae Young, sources said, and were working to assemble a group around Markkanen that could have possibly drawn George's eye,” Jake Fischer reported.
So far, three of the four players, George, Bridges and Murray have already been dealt in the free agency leaving only Young in the pack.
Moreover, with Murray gone, there is a chance that the Hawks have already made their choice for the season and are keeping Young. Earlier, on July 2, Trae Young posted a cryptic folded praying hand emoji on X.
