Trae Young's loyalty: The All-Star point guard wishes to stay in Atlanta

Atlanta Hawk's All-Star point guard, Trae Young, is out recovering from surgery in his left hand. In a recent interview, Young shared his thoughts about the speculations surrounding his future with the franchise.

Despite his strong desire to win a championship, Young wishes to remain with the organization that selected him 5 years ago, and give himself the chance to win in Atlanta.

"For me, my whole vision was to always be here - like my whole goal is to win here," Young said. "Win championships, bring people here with me and build this, this championship here and dynasty here. But who knows? Like it's year six now and who knows? Like, for me, I want that."

This proves that despite all the rumors about the Hawks trading him to the Lakers (which surely could increase his chances to win a ring exponentially), Trae remains loyal to Atlanta, the city who adopted him after college.

"Yeah, I mean, yeah, you've heard it from the source, like I wanna win but that's what you've heard too. Like I just wanna win," Young answered. "So that's, that's in Atlanta. That's, that's where I wanna be, that's where I envision myself being. But that's, that's it. That's it."

The Hawks are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference. This means that if the regular season ended today, they would have to beat the Chicago Bulls and Indiana or Philadelphia after that. In other words, they need to go through all the play-in tournament as visitors to end up playing against Boston in the first round.

Trae was averaging 26.4 points and 10.8 assists. He's expected to be back at nearly the end of the regular season.
