Should the Wizards trade for Trae Young?
bad, bad, rumor
If we trade for Trae Young and don’t get the Pelicans pick along with him, I’m out on this front office!
Why is Bilal always out of the talk for you guys gets me questioning
Trae would benefit Bilal the most
Wiz don’t want him, he doesn’t fit our process.
Tre doesn’t wanna come here either.
Silly rumor.
Not happening. lol
Dumb idea for so many reasons.
Why would the Wizards derail their rebuilt with someone like Trae Young?
I'm a hard no for Trae, especially if Justin C is a art of this trade. We're looking to compete next season, Traw doesn't play D.
#BadFit
Seems redundant with bub there, not that he is trae but wiz do have plenty of assets, trae next to bilal could help hide trae horrendous defense
Definitely against trading for injury prone defensive liabilities…
It would be an absolute mistake. If he was desirable every contender would be scrambling to acquire him. He's a salary dump and a team fit problem, not an asset. If they don't get the Pelicans pick as a part of the trade, full stop. And the only players they should trade are their own salary dumps in return.
Hell no.plays no D and is small,a liability.
He is on a downfall plus damaged goods already
If wizards are going to bail out the hawks and take that contract they better be getting a couple of picks along with Trae
Good pod! Thanks for the commentary and insight
They better get a good ass pick out of it because Trae Young stinks
Hell nah lol hes a liability on defense
Shout-out to the guest, Domo, good stuff
Westbrook averaged a triple double at pg but Trae is the best since wall? We need Zion more than Trae. We have the shooters to put around him and he desperately needs a change of scenery. Trae would be us spinning our wheels
Trade CJ Kispert and a future first for Trae. We will have over 70 million in cap space after signing Trae to a max deal. We can sign the best available free agents to large short term deals before our young guys’ rookie deals are over. Sign Kuminga and maybe get greedy and try to bring KP back to Washington as a bench big man behind Sarr or even with Sarr days where he feels a lot healthier. Trae, Tre, bilal, Sarr, Porzingis
Trae, Tre, Bilal, Kuminga, Sarr
Trae, Tre, 2026 1st round pick, Kuminga, Sarr
When injuries happen this team will have the depth to win some games. High potential to make the play in or be a sleeper to make the 6th seed and build on competitive momentum to possibly contend in a few years
Would you draft this version of Kispert in the first round?
Multiple team trades:
Corey Kispert to Portland
Robert Williams, III to San Antonio
Julian Champagnie to Washington
Marvin Bagley, III to Detroit
Ansuar Thompson and Milak Beasley to Washington
Khris Middleton accepts buyout
