Trae Young Trade Rumors: There's only One Suitor that Really Makes Sense

Trade talks focus on a package including CJ McCollum's expiring contract as Hawks seek to rebuild and Wizards look to add a star before the Feb. 5 deadline.

  • On Feb. 5 trade deadline approach, Trae Young and his agents Aaron Mintz, Drew Morrison and Austin Brown are in progressive talks with the Atlanta Hawks as reports say a deal could happen soon.
  • After Atlanta declined to offer Young a contract extension, his October 29 MCL sprain limited him to 10 games, with $95 million remaining on his deal.
  • Trade constructions centered on CJ McCollum's expiring deal include Washington Wizards, who are 9-25 with young players Alex Sarr, Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington.
  • Moving Young now could help the Atlanta Hawks jumpstart a rebuild as the team is in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and reports say they may accept a low return.
  • Multiple suitors include the Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks, with reports saying Miami could include Terry Rozier and a first-round pick, while betting markets list Wizards 45% and Heat 27%.
