This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Oh yeah! We got ourselves a trade. What's up, everybody? It's Wednesday night, just after 10 p.m. Eastern. The No Dunks boys in the yard because Trey Young has been traded to the Washington Wizards. I'm J.E. Skeets. That's Tess Millis. That's Trey Kirby.
What trade just happened involving Trae Young?
Let's get a little Southern lawyer here on this one, especially because you predicted this trade, TK.
Call me Ken Nugent.
We got ourselves a trade.
Wow. What an Atlanta reference. That's a real Southern lawyer. That is indeed. Yes. We have that trade, and it's what we expected, Tass, except for one important part. No picks. Trae Young to the Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. And what we know right now, again, this is breaking news, happened like 30 minutes ago. It doesn't seem like there's a pick involved going either way, either to the Washington Wizards or to Atlanta. And we're not even taking second round picks here, Tess.
We're pickless tonight. This is surprising because this is a 27-year-old four-time All-Star. He's still in his prime, so it's surprising that a pick doesn't come back. But at the same time, like we talked about on the show, Mark Stein, who's dialed in. He was the first national guy to report that the Wizards were far ahead of the team that Trae Young wanted to go to. He didn't know if a pick needed to be attached to Trae or a pick was coming back for Trae, so we shouldn't be that surprised that there's no picks, but still, this is a skimpy package. And no disrespect to CJ McCollum, but he's 34. He's towards the end of his career. Corey Kispert, I love his headband. But still, I mean, look where we are here for the Atlanta Hawks.
And Trey, I got 27 years old. We all knew it was coming. And Trey called it last week. And then when you see CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert yank from the lineup tonight, hey guys, we can't have you play tonight. Now, if you were to get hurt, I think the Hawks would still do it, but yeah, just don't play. Because this just seems like it's about money, right? It seems like there's another deal coming. So it feels maybe a little less skimpy if you know a trade is coming real quick, as Shams is reporting, that this makes it... A flexible situation for the Hawks that this Dallas Mavericks star, Anthony Davis, has a prime in-season trade target for the next several months. What does that mean? They're getting him in the offseason?
Or is this turning into Porzingis and either Risa Shea or a Kong Wu? That could work.
What are the details of the Trae Young trade to the Wizards?
Literally, that pair of guys for Anthony Davis... I don't know how far we want to go right now with that, but here we are. It is a little surprising at the same time.
Trey, what do you think? I can't believe I've heard the word skimpy and paltry today. But I've heard both of those old-timey words used to describe this package. This is nothing. Trey Young is a four-time All-Star, the best player the Hawks have had in a decade, and he's getting traded for an expiring contract.
Why are no picks included in the Trae Young trade?
and a guy who's better known for having a center part, a mustache, and a tie on the sidelines. Corey Kispert never plays, man. Nobody's ever seen this guy. CJ McCollum, he's not a multi-time all-star. He's a multi-time almost all-star. And Trey Young is the best player the Hawks have had in quite some time. He's won them playoff series. He took them to the conference finals. He might have his jersey retired sometime. So to get back a guy in CJ McCollum that might be gone next season, Corey Kispert, who's kind of superfluous with Luke Kennard around, come on, this is disappointing. There was talk during the day that there was negotiations back and forth on who was going to be adding draft capital. Is it the Wizards because they are getting Trae Young, a multi-time all-star, or is it the Hawks because they have to get off his contract?
Eventually, they must have just gotten tired of negotiating about it and said, let's just go player for player here. We're going Chicago Bulls mode. Make it simple. And honestly, this is a worse package than like Zach Levine got last year when the Bulls were in a very same situation.
