Well, here’s a twist that’s been quietly brewing beneath the surface — Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks won’t be putting pen to paper on a contract extension before the season tips off. It’s not exactly breaking news to those who’ve followed the saga closely; Young himself seemed to make peace with this reality months ago. Yet, the stakes couldn’t be higher now.
