Still, the Washington Wizards appear to be the early favorites to acquire the four-time All-Star guard.
Washington has discussed a trade centered around CJ McCollum's $30.67 million expiring contract, as first reported by The Stein Line. The Wizards would likely seek additional draft picks, given that Young has a $48.97 million player option for next season.
Trae's time in Atlanta seems limited. ESPN's Shams Charania reported that "both Trae Young and the Hawks know he just doesn't fit with the current team anymore."
Young is earning $46 million this season and holds a $49 million player option for 2026–27.
Injuries have limited him to just 10 games this season, where he's averaging 19.3 points on 41.5% shooting, along with 8.9 assists. He is currently in his eighth season with the Hawks.
