The Hawks haven’t played a single game yet, and there’s palpable anticipation looming around Atlanta. For the first time in his career, Trae Young will team up with an All-Star after the club acquired Dejounte Murray earlier this offseason. And the former Spur is already taking a page out of his teammate’s book and becoming Public Enemy No. 1 following an altercation with this year’s first overall pick Paolo Banchero at an NBA Pro-Am game.

The Magic aren’t going to be a good team, and they haven’t been relevant since Dwight Howard was in his prime. It’s kind of interesting, though. What would’ve been an otherwise low-key matchup will now be making headlines because of this beef. It’ll be awesome to see more scrappiness from a Hawks team that lacked some fire last season.
