If the Hawks were paid minimally for Trae Young, what would the Clippers receive for their aging stars?
The Atlanta Hawks just traded Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum, Corey Kispert, and no draft picks. That is a tough reality to let sink in, as a four-time All-Star, who averaged 24.2 points and 11.6 assists last season, got moved for a 34-year-old veteran guard, a rotational wing, and absolutely zero draft capital.
The Hawks essentially executed a cap dump for a star they fundamentally didn't want anymore, clearing millions in cap space to pursue other moves.
