The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to trade star guard Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. This deal felt inevitable once Young listed the Wizards as his preferred landing spot.
It should also be a relief for Portland Trail Blazers fans, as their team is better off without the undersized, offensive-minded guard.

On the surface, it's surprising that the Hawks weren't able to get any draft capital in return. However, they still landed an underrated sharpshooter in Corey Kispert, who is on a team-friendly deal.
