After lots of speculation about what All-Star Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young might do after his agent Omar Wilkes left Octagon to become the head of basketball at Klutch Sports, Young made the announcement that he is joining Klutch and following his agent to join the agency started by Rich Paul, on Friday afternoon.
Young shared the news on twitter saying that, he’s just getting started but that Klutch is “different.” Yahoo’s Chris Haynes reported yesterday that Klutch was the frontrunner to land Young after he informed Octagon he would be parting ways with them.
LeBron James himself has long been a big fan of Young and his game. Young was a camper at LeBron’s basketball camp since he was an 8th grader and during Young’s one year at Oklahoma, LeBron was one of his biggest fans. So, while it took some big moves, a unity between James and Young seems to have been in the cards for some time.
