NBA trades happen behind the scenes, but sometimes, the wheeling-and-dealing occurs in the midst of actual games. That's what occurred on Wednesday night, when Hawks four-time All-Star Trae Young was traded to the Wizards ... while he was sitting on the bench in street clothes.
As the Hawks’ game against the Pelicans headed into the fourth quarter, the news that Young was dealt to the Wizards in exchange for sharpshooter CJ McCollum and forward Corey Kispert surfaced, prompting several Atlanta players to say their goodbyes to Young on the bench, according to Atlanta sports anchor Miles Garrett.
