Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young seems to often find himself involved in trade rumors.
Despite that, he's spent his entire NBA career with Atlanta.
Maybe that's overdue to change this offseason.
SI's Will Zimmerle suggests Young might be a perfect candidate to head west.
The pitch: The Sacramento Kings should trade for Young.
"Trae Young would be a splashy, all-in move that seems unlikely, but would certainly rebalance the roster with the money involved alone," Zimmerle writes. "Young is set to make just under $46 million next year, meaning the Kings would need to send out more money to match the huge contract."

Young led the NBA in assists this season at 11.6 per game.
He also averaged 24.2 points and 1.2 steals per night while shooting 34 percent from 3-point range.
"He's one of if not the best table setters in the league, and would also bring three-point shooting well that would help raise the Kings three-point attempts," Zimmerle writes.
Young, a questionable defender, has a year plus an option remaining on his contract.
Most likely, Sacramento would acquire one for-sure season of Young before he seeks big money either from the Kings or elsewhere.
It'd be interesting to see how Young would perform in a different uniform after a bumpy career from a team perspective with the Hawks.
