"The Washington Wizards seem to be on the verge of trading for Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young. Young listed Washington as his preferred landing spot on Wednesday afternoon after reports surfaced that he and his camp were working alongside the Hawks' front office with the hopes of finding a suitable destination for him to continue his career. Following the report, it seemed as if a deal between the two squads was set to happen sooner rather than later, especially after Young and Wizards' veteran CJ McCollum were both added to each team's injury report"
"McCollum, who's quietly served as a true mentor for the Wizards young core, was always expected to be moved ahead of February's trade deadline if Washington was able to find a suitor. Considering the Hawks' interest in acquiring McCollum from the Portland Trail Blazers prior to him landing in New Orleans, it was expected that the guard would be the focal point of any potential deal, especially considering his expiring yet lucrative contract."
Trae Young listed Washington as his preferred landing spot after his camp worked with the Hawks' front office to find a new destination. The timing and Young's request increased expectations that a trade to the Washington Wizards would happen quickly. Both Young and Wizards veteran CJ McCollum were added to Wednesday's injury report and ruled out, coinciding with trade chatter. McCollum has served as a mentor to the Wizards' young core and was anticipated to be moved before February's deadline. League sources indicate the Hawks targeted former first-round pick Corey Kispert as part of a potential package including McCollum.
