The Atlanta Hawks have parted ways with four-time NBA All-Star point guard Trae Young, trading him to the Washington Wizards in a blockbuster move, according to ESPN.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hawks<\/a> will reportedly be receiving veteran shooting guard CJ McCollum and forward Corey Kispert in the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Washington was Young\u2019s preferred destination, and the two sides were working on a deal to get the 27-year-old point guard to the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s agents were having conversations with the Hawks, who sit at 17-21 so far this season, about trading their client out of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

There is a mutual connection in Washington<\/a>, too, as executive Travis Schlenk drafted Young fifth overall in 2018 out of Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

It marks the end of an era for the Hawks. Young has been the focal point of their offense since he was taken in that draft. He is the team\u2019s career leader in three-pointers and assists, having led the team to the postseason in three of his eight seasons. The Hawks went the furthest in 2021, where they made the Eastern Conference Finals.<\/p>\n

However, the new era was brewing already in Atlanta, with forward Jalen Johnson taking the next step in his career, averaging 23.7 points per game this season. The pickup of Nickeil Alexander-Walker also helps, as he\u2019s averaged 20.5 points per game in 36 appearances.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Young has played just 10 games this season, as he\u2019s been dealing with leg injuries, most notably a right MCL sprain.<\/p>\n

The Hawks also get some flexibility on their books, as they could make some more moves. Anthony Davis is reportedly available from the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, making him a good target for Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Young has $95 million remaining on his deal that runs through the 2026-27 season, which includes a player option this offseason.<\/p>\n

Atlanta will be taking on McCollum\u2019s contract, though the veteran guard has a $30.6 million expiring deal.<\/p>\n

Through his 10 games this season, Young is averaging 19.2 points, 8.9 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 41.5% from the field.<\/p>\n

Over his career, Young has dropped 25.2 points and 9.8 assists per game, while leading the league in the latter category last season with 11.6 per contest.<\/p>\n
