The Wizards have emerged as a "legitimate landing spot" for Trae Young, per Marc Stein.


SUCCESS

The Wizards have been linked to point guard play for quite some time now, especially with growing pressure to potentially make a push towards the play-in sometime in the next couple seasons.

Contractually, the Hawks could take in the expiring contract of either McCollum or Middleton and, with the former aiding Washington to a very strong December, McCollum would contribute to some additional scoring in Atlanta's rotation, whether it be in the sixth man role or as a veteran presence in the starting lineup.

Four years of Corey Kispert seems dicey, but a reliable shooter off the bench for the Hawks (as well as picks) would be an immediate upgrade over Kennard, who I have Atlanta dealing to Washington as well.

On the flip side, while Trae Young would create a pair of defensive issues in Washington's backcourt for sure, assuming Tre Johnson continues to start for the Wizards, I love the fit as a table setter for the young bucks in George, Sarr and Coulibaly.

It's a cheap, low-risk move for the Wizards, given their current situation, and it allows the Hawks to get some value for their former franchise star. What do you guys think?

NOTE: obviously, picks would factor in more heavily in this trade, so don't think too hard on the draft capital in this potential trade! Definitely could see more headed Atlanta's way.
