The Atlanta Hawks are trading four-time All-Star Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, sources told ESPN.

The trade ends Young's stint as the face of the Hawks franchise after seven-plus seasons and sends the 27-year-old to his preferred destination in the nation's capital to be the lead guard for the Wizards. Top Washington officials Michael Winger and Will Dawkins have searched to anchor their burgeoning young talent, and the franchise believes the trade is the next step in the organization's development process amid a rebuild.
