"The last few years weren't how I wanted them to be,"
"Bringing a championship to Atlanta was always my goal. However, between the injuries, the setbacks, and situations that didn't make sense, we never truly got to see our full potential."
"The pain of staying the same eventually outweighed the uncertainty of change. Change is often met with fear, but I see it as another opportunity,"
Trae Young spent seven-plus seasons with the Atlanta Hawks and pushed for a trade through talks between his agents and general manager Onsi Saleh. Reports indicate Young is heading to the Washington Wizards in a deal for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, though the move has not been announced. Young said injuries, setbacks, and unclear situations prevented the team from reaching its full potential and expressed willingness to embrace change. He has $95 million remaining on his deal with a 2026-27 player option and will have his health evaluated by Washington before extension talks begin. Young leaves as the franchise leader in 3-pointers and assists and led Atlanta to three postseason appearances, including the 2021 Eastern Conference finals.
