US EditionTrae Young Is A Wizard And The NBA Trade Season Is Officially Off And Running
- Last month, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks, named the Washington Wizards his top preferred trade destination and has a one-year $49,000,000 player-option.
- The Washington roster is full of young players, making Young's fit unclear, but signing him would give Washington Wizards its first star since trading Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns.
- A proposed package centers on veteran guard C.J. McCollum and first-round picks, while the Atlanta Hawks will hold out for the best possible return for Young.
- Adding Trae Young this season may be more a short-term draw than a playoff solution, as his trade value is the lowest and Washington Wizards would mainly gain ticket boosts without a contract extension.
- The Wizards sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference as the second-worst team and are too far back to make the playoffs, with Young's choice seen as contract-motivated.
