Young 'Ecstatic' About NBA Move From Hawks to Wizards
The Hawks gain veteran scorers CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to reset their roster and clear salary cap space, while the Wizards add four-time All-Star Trae Young to lead their rebuild.
- On Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks traded Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, ending Young's seven-plus season run as the franchise face.
- Seeking a reset, Atlanta Hawks declined to offer Trae Young an extension and cleared his $46 million salary for flexibility to retool around Jalen Johnson and others.
- Adding CJ McCollum provides veteran scoring and his $30.6 million expiring contract adds flexibility, while Corey Kispert, Gonzaga product and sharpshooter, averages 9.2 points on.496 shooting this season.
- The trade immediately reshapes both clubs' short-term plans: Washington Wizards, 10-26, view Young as a centerpiece to accelerate their rebuild, while Atlanta Hawks refocus around Jalen Johnson and keep a favorable first-round pick.
- The move was the first domino of the trade season Wednesday night, with more deals possible as clearing Trae Young's $46 million salary positions Atlanta Hawks to pursue Anthony Davis.
