Shortly after news emerged that star guard Trae Young's representatives were working alongside the Hawks to find a trade partner for the four-time All-Star, multiple reports indicated that Young's desired destination was the Washington Wizards. Young got his wish on Wednesday, as the Hawks dealt him to Washington in exchange for guard CJ McCollum and forward Corey Kispert.
Young's desire to go to the Wizards, who have missed the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons and are coming off of an 18-win season, puzzled some, which is why the talented point guard was almost immediately asked about what led to him wanting to land in Washington, D.C.
