“Trae Young Is a Laker!”: Hawks Star Stirs the Rumor Mill As He Watches LeBron James’ Lakers vs Warriors With Rich Paul

The Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Warriors for Game 6 at Crypto.Com arena on a Friday. This meant the stars will show up, and they sure did. We saw a plethora of stars, from Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, Lewis Hamilton, and more. Hawks’ star Trae Young showed up for the game as well. However, it is who he showed up with that has people whispering.

While the Lakers and Warriors fight to earn a spot next to the Denver Nuggets in the WCF, Trae Young has been away from action for two weeks now. The Celtics eliminated the Hawks in the first round, and the 6ft 1″ guard has been keeping busy.

Today, he was spotted courtside for the Lakers-Warriors game. He showed up with his agent Rich Paul.

NBA Twitter blows up with rumors about Trae Young and the Lakers

Trae Young just finished the first year of a 5-year, $215 Million supermax with the Hawks. However, the team has not been performing like he would’ve expected, even after getting Dejounte Murray.

This has been sparking rumors about Young possibly demanding changes or a trade. Amidst all that noise, he showed up to Crytpo.Com with Rich Paul. This has caused Twitter to erupt with conspiracies and rumors. People think Trae wants to get together with LeBron James and possibly achieve something great.

On the other hand, there were people who assumed this was all a part of a plan to get D’Angelo Russell to heat up.

They brought Trae just like Kyrie to motivate Dlo 😹

The crowd’s chanting “defense”, so Trae knows they’re not talking to him.

Now we’ll have to wait till the offseason to see what’s happening, but we can sure assume Rich Paul would have already started working his magic.
