Trae Young trade talks are intensifying with ESPN's Shams Charania reporting that the Atlanta Hawks are working with their star guard to find a new landing spot.
The Washington Wizards were named as a potential trade partner (subscription required) by NBA insider Marc Stein, who adds that CJ McCollum's expiring contract could be part of the package to make the deal work financially.
One notable takeaway is that it remains unclear whether Atlanta would have to attach draft capital to offload Young, who is substantially more expensive than McCollum and has a $49 million player option next season.
