NBA TV used the opportunity to interview Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Even McMillan hopped on the broadcast and shared an interesting anecdote. Apparently, the veteran coach flew out to Oklahoma City to visit his All-NBA point guard earlier this summer.

“About a month ago, I went out to Oklahoma City. Talked with Trae about this upcoming season, and the things he feels he needs to work on - getting stronger, conditioning needs to be better, and playing off the ball. So those are some of the drills we work on this summer.” - Nate McMillan

That is music to Hawks fans' ears. Not only are the coach and his point guard on the same page, but they clearly have a strong working relationship. With the addition of Murray and a refocused organization, the Hawks are in a good place as they prepare for the 2022-23 campaign.
