Trae Young became one of the biggest names in the NBA over the years, but the Atlanta Hawks couldn’t find a way to keep him.
The Hawks dealt Young, a four-time All-Star who has a leg injury, to the Washington Wizards for guard C.J. McCollum and forward Corey Kispert. No future draft picks were involved in the trade.
