Episode notes
Trae Young Exit Feels Inevitable
- The Trae Young era in Atlanta appears to be ending as Hawks and his camp are actively seeking a trade.
- Reporters suggest the Wizards are the leading suitor, but returns to Atlanta will likely be unimpressive.
Expirings Likely Drive Any Trade
- CJ McCollum's expiring contract is the likeliest centerpiece to make salaries work in a Trae Young trade.
- The Hawks will probably accept expiring deals and modest draft capital rather than a transformative haul.
Trade As A Roster Reset
- Hawks may prioritize clearing cap and resetting the roster over immediate on-court upgrades.
- Trading Young could free cap space and accelerate a Jalen Johnson–centered rebuild.
