Wizards sign Trae Young to multi-year deal

Trae Young told Michael Porter Jr. on his YouTube channel that his exit from Atlanta was tied to Travis Schlenk's ouster and Onsi Saleh's arrival as the Hawks' new lead executive.

Kings insider James Ham said Sacramento turned down a deal that would have sent Zach LaVine to Atlanta for Trae Young. Ham reported the Kings worried Young would immediately push for a massive extension, something they weren't ready to commit to.

Per an official transaction record logged by Basketball-Reference, Atlanta has traded Trae Young to Washington. Coming back the other way are Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum, plus a trade exception for the Hawks. No further details were included in the transaction entry.
