Trae Young’s value has plummeted if the latest trade rumors are true. Unless they act this summer, the New York Knicks could be facing a similarly tumultuous situation with Karl-Anthony Towns.
According to Marc Stein of The Stein Line, the Washington Wizards have emerged as a serious suitor for Young, who they’d reportedly acquire using a package built around CJ McCollum’s expiring salary. The real kicker, as Stein also notes, is “it remains to be seen whether the Hawks would also have to send the Wizards draft capital to convince them to absorb Young's contract.”
This is a wild notion when you really think about it.
