Trae Young has the Washington Wizards as his top preferred trade destination, sources tell ESPN. Atlanta is working to move Young, who has a $49 million player option in offseason that would make him an expiring contract; or opt out, leave and give Hawks significant cap space.

@BrettSiegelNBA
Trae Young and his camp are essentially telling the Hawks to get this done as soon as possible.

Both Young and McCollum have been ruled out with quad injuries for their respective games tonight.

"Quad injuries." Yeah right. There's a sizable likelihood they are being put in bubble wrap until a deal is finalized.
