Trae Young may be the first player ever to have the Washington Wizards as his preferred trade destination. Or at least since Jordan played for them. Maybe someone would have liked to get traded there to play with the GOAT.

Why tho

His destiny is to be an all-time great good-stats-bad-team guy.

Like Gerald Wallace?

Monta Ellis?

Kevin Martin??

Can I interest anyone in Zach Lavine, who's only played in four playoff games in his entire career?

He's 21/4/4 on 47/39/83 shooting for his career.

reply

Wow!! That is a strong candidate!

I was going to say Stephon Marbury next

reply

Lavine's career isn't over yet though. Still possible he might win a championship one day!

Marbury's problem is that the teams were only bad because he was their point guard. Every time he left a team they got better.

The GM who drafted Trae Young to the Atlanta Hawks is now an executive with the Wizards, so there is already a relationship there that helps tilt towards the Wizards.

reply

Interesting. I was unaware of that.

reply

Absolutely no idea. I think Washington would be last on my list. I haven't thought about it that hard but it wouldn't be in the top 25 that's for sure.

reply

Maybe he wants a future career as a swamp denizen

reply

Could be. He is due for an extension but one would imagine whatever team trades for him is going to factor that into their cap space.

reply

It is amazing sport.

reply

It’s unexpected but it sounds like he wants a clean slate somewhere he can lead without constant noise or pressure.

reply

Hahahaha F YOU TRE YOUNG

THIS IS GLORIOUS !!
