The nba moves so fast imagine proposing this trade even last year

That is a horrendous return holy shit

I get the gripes but that’s a nothing return. Just salary filler. I guess they were just that desperate

not even zero draft capital but also 0 players of value lmao. just dinosaur mccollum and a 3 and no D role player

While he isn’t the most attractive package, sure, I do think his contract situation had a lot to do with it. Expiring deal with a $50M player option is a big yikes.

THEY DIDNT EVEN GET THE LATE FIRST ROUNDER THAT WAS RUMORED???

Yep, just clearing cap. Damn.

Makes you wonder why more teams wouldn’t press their luck, especially a team like Dallas with little PG play

Hell yeah Wizards fans should be hype

Even if he’s overrated, this trade looks like a steal for the Wizards.

I think it’s a no-brainer for Washington

How do you feel about this?

Wait until the AD trade happens

He is a salary dumped franchise star that’s gotta hurt 

I have to feel like he’s the start of old franchise players getting traded now

Zion next pls

He took out Ben Simmons in the process so it’s fine

This new cap structure has hurt a lot of players’ values just because of the cap numbers

Life comes at you fast lol

NBA moves quick

Offensive player without D for Offensive players without D

Fuck me dude was really traded for expirings just so the hawks would avoid him picking up his option

Took that team to the conference finals like ³⁄₄ seasons ago

There has to be picks there’s no way

Jae Crowder got more picks back😭

TRAE-Y

I’M A WHAT

I’m sure it’ll start to make sense in the coming days, but I’m surprised no one had a better offer. Did they just want to move him that bad?

Not really - it just tells you just how low his value around the league has gotten

Sarr will eat

That kid is special. Did not think he would take this big of a leap (no pun intended)

Hawks can go from one franchise star that doesn’t play defense to a taller franchise star that doesn’t play defense.

Not even one pick is crazy

2k CPU-to-CPU ass trade

To be fair 5 years is a LONG time

CJ come home your vineyard misses you

It’s Trae for whoever they can sign with his money next year.

It’s Trae for cap space

This post was made by an account that’s 11 months old and has 600k karma lmao

Kinda nasty from a Hawks perspective lmao

What team has $40m of salary they can just send away, an available first round pick, and a need for Trae Young. The first part is the most important and what people don’t understand

Guys on smaller contracts are honestly worth more regardless of talent. 

New CBA is wild 

Tree fiddy

Half of CJ McCollum. You just get C Cum.

Basically just didn’t want to pay him a max contract or have to pay his $49m option next year. In fairness, I don’t think you can contend for a championship with Trae Young on a max contract.

They been great moves the past couple of years starting with dumping Beal contract to the suns lol

He has the talent to get right back into all star talks next year. 

Desmond Bane was just traded for 4 first round picks and a pick swap just a few months ago. That’s way after the second apron boogeyman got established too

… the suns traded 4 first round pick swaps, 6 second round picks, and CP for Bradley Beal who had a no trade clause 😭 and you know there’s plenty more where that came from, no need to use other teams as an example when your team literally has some of the worst in modern nba

He just awkwardly walked into the locker room during a TO

Wouldn’t be the first person who really wanted to get a job in DC to avoid accountability.
