Trae Young's value proved to be incredibly low, but the Wolves would have been forced to overpay...
Well, the first major trade of the NBA trade season occurred, as Trae Young was shipped off to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum (who is on an expiring contract) and Corey Kispert. The Minnesota Timberwolves were linked to Young. However, as reported earlier on Wednesday by Jake Fischer, his enormous $45.9 million contract (and $48.9 million player option) made the Wolves uninterested in Young or any other star point guard, for that matter.
