With trade talks heating up around the league, Atlanta Hawks star playmaker Trae Young is ready to fly the coop. The Washington Wizards have already approached the Hawks brass with an offer for Young that revolves around veteran guard CJ McCollum, per HoopsHype insider Michael Scotto. The Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers have registered interest as well.
On the flip side, the Sacramento Kings are disinterested in a deal for Young, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick. That’s intriguing, especially given their attempts to trade for Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland, as reported by Ashish Mathur of Cavaliers Nation. There are doubts about the Dallas Mavericks, who have had dialogue with the Hawks about big man Anthony Davis, having their eye on Young. The Houston Rockets are yet another team that’s unlikely to make a move for him.

Ultimately, there are four teams that purportedly have Young on their radar. There appear to be three teams that have closed the door on a trade. There’s also a handful of teams that haven’t been publicly linked to the star point guard that could quietly be making calls behind the scenes.
