[Charania] BREAKING: Trae Young intends to sign a four-year, approximately \(212 million deal to stay with the Washington Wizards, with a player option in Year 4, sources tell ESPN. The four-time NBA All-Star declined his \)49M player option for a long-term commitment ahead of free agency.
The Wizards and Young’s representatives, CAA’s Co-Head of Basketball Aaron Mintz, agents Ray Young, Andrew Morrison and Co-Head of Basketball Austin Brown, land on a deal that will be less than the maximum for Young with Washington, but equal to the max he could have signed elsewhere.
Young – who wanted a trade to one team only, the Wizards, in January – stamps his desire to be in D.C. and elevate the team’s rising young core.
