Washington Wizards Interested In Trae Young
Trae Young spoke through league developments surrounding the Atlanta Hawks as the franchise and Young’s representatives actively explore potential trade destinations, signaling a possible end to his tenure in Atlanta. The Hawks’ internal evaluation has shifted following Young’s right MCL sprain, a stretch in which Atlanta went 13–9, saw Jalen Johnson take a major leap, and posted improved defensive results. Team metrics showed a plus-0.2 net rating with Young off the floor compared to minus-6.8 when he played, raising questions about long-term fit and ceiling.
This episode breaks down how Atlanta’s decision not to offer Young a long-term extension last summer, his looming $48.9 million player option, and his pursuit of a max-level contract have shaped the current landscape. League reporting points to the Washington Wizards as a potential suitor, with CJ McCollum’s expiring deal and additional salary pieces possibly involved, while other teams—most notably the Sacramento Kings—have shown no interest.
We also examine how moving Young could dramatically alter Atlanta’s flexibility, including opening pathways for larger pursuits like Anthony Davis, and what this means as the February trade deadline approaches.
