"The Washington Wizards reported interest on the trade market has linked them to nearly every big name that has been rumored to be available. Between Washington's motivation to offload the expiring contracts of CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton, mixed with the teams willingness to take on unwanted contracts from other teams, the Wizards have been rumored to be a team worth monitoring in nearly any deal that they could help facilitate."
"Over the last few weeks, Trae Young's name has been continuously mentioned as a name to watch as the NBA trade deadline looms. The Hawks have made it clear that the All-Star guard's time in Atlanta has run its course and with the team looking to build around emerging star Jalen Johnson, Young has seemed to be the odd man out. On Monday, reports surfaced from ESPN's Shams Charania that Young's team and the Hawks were working together to find a trade for the playmaker."
The Washington Wizards have been connected to many top players due to reported interest and a willingness to absorb unwanted contracts. The team aims to move the expiring contracts of CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton to create flexibility and trade leverage. A pressing need for an immediate point guard in the DMV has shifted the front office toward pursuing a blockbuster rather than long-term rebuilding moves. Trae Young has emerged as a primary target amid Atlanta’s intent to move on and build around Jalen Johnson. Young’s production has dipped this season, and Atlanta and Young’s representatives are actively working to find a trade.
