Discussions over a contract extension between the Atlanta Hawks and Trae Younger might transfer at a “sluggish” tempo as each side wait and see how the upcoming season unfolds.
“From Trae Younger’s perspective … we have probably ten groups, we have a 3rd of subsequent 12 months’s groups which have cap house right here. Am I prepared to commit long run if I am not liking the place the value is correct now?
“So I feel that is going to be a sluggish play so far as the place each side are going to go,” stated Marks on ESPN.
Younger is at present eligible for a four-year, $229 million extension by way of subsequent June 30.
It has been reported that Younger is unlikely to achieve an settlement on an extension, although Young could re-sign with the crew as a free agent subsequent summer season.
Marks added that each side might attain a center floor relying on how the crew gel because the season progresses.
“I do assume there is a center floor so far as reaching that dedication right here. However I do assume from Atlanta’s perspective, you are like ‘Wait a minute, let’s examine how this roster matches earlier than we’re prepared to commit long run to Trae Younger.'”
