New client of the agency Klutch Sports, Trae Young has logically seen the rumors about a likely coming to the Lakers appear. Her father split an unequivocal statement on the subject.
The names of Trae Young and LeBron James have been tirelessly connected in recent days for reasons that go far beyond the prosecution. The two stars of the league, who will lead a common social struggle in the coming months, also see rumors send the leader of the Hawks … to the Lakers.
In question ? The new agency representing Ice Trae, which has been none other than Klutch Sports since June 26. Led by Rich Paul, a great friend of LeBron, the latter presents as main customers the King and Anthony Davis. Inevitably, the general public was quick to connect the dots, and to consider this signature as a way to get closer to LA
In the face of escalating rumor, Young’s father, Rayford, spoke in the columns of The Athletic. According to him, it is enough to look at the liabilities of his son and the choices made during his career as a young basketball player to understand that this movement is not a sign of departure.
I would like people to watch her story. He was never a follower. When he won the Nike EYBL Peach Jam, he could have joined a superteam after that. He refused to go to the Oak Hill Academy, which is one of the best programs on the high school circuit. People told him he wouldn’t be an All-American or a top prospect if he went to a local high school in Norman, Oklahoma. He turned 44 points average over his senior year and was All-American.
Then they told him that he would not be a 1st round pick if he went to the University of Oklahoma. Calipari sat in our living room and said, “If you want to be a lottery pick, you better come to Kentucky. He kept his promise to Oklahoma. He was never a follower. This whole thing with Klutch never had anything to do with wanting to go to the Lakers one day. They have a lot of customers who don’t play the Lakers.

Difficult to go against Rayford Young on this last point. The list of players represented by Klutch Sports includes John Wall, Ben Simmons, Draymond Green, Eric Bledsoe or even Ben McLemore. None of them, despite several years under the agency, has so far worn the colors of the Lakers.
However, there are also many Angelinos on the same list. Besides LeBron and Davis, there are Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Dion Waiters, Talen Horton-Tucket, and even JR Smith, who will officially join the roster shortly. What does it matter, since the heart and the spirit of Trae Young would be fully anchored in Atlanta according to his father.
He knows it’s a collective sport, but he wants to have his statue next to Dominique (Wilkins) one day. I already told you, my son is 1.85m tall, but he thinks he’s the best player on the floor, even when LeBron is on the field in front of him. I hope it will never hurt him, but he has a big pair and he is very confident.
He just knows what he wants to accomplish. I don’t think my son will ever join a superteam unless he trains in Atlanta. He is too proud of that. Maybe this pride will backfire, but who knows. My son saw what had happened in Oklahoma City with Kevin Durant. He was not one of those who called it a cupcake, but he saw the feedback he had to face.
Eager to write his own legend in Atlanta, Trae Young should not take advantage of the relationships of his new agents to head to California according to his father.
