Is Trae Young the Key to the Biggest NBA Shakeup in 2026?
Rival executives are closely monitoring Trae Young’s future, per @ShamsCharania.
If no extension is agreed upon between Young and the Hawks, he could decide to opt out in 2026 to become an unrestricted free agent.

As noted by Charania and Sidery, Young could choose to become a free agent in 2026, a move that would instantly shake up the entire NBA.
Young would be a target for many teams because he averaged 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and a league-high 11.6 assists per game last season.
