The Washington Wizards are days removed from landing star guard Trae Young in the first blockbuster trade of the regular season.
Between the Atlanta Hawks' desire to move in a different direction and Young's search for a fresh start, the Wizards interest and hope to find an answer for arguably the biggest weakness on the roster, the stars aligned perfectly for both sides to increase their urgency to get a deal done.
Washington managed to land a playmaker the front office feels can elevate their rebuild to the next level and considering the 27-year-old's skillset, it's hard to deny that the Wizards bold move could be the exact risk that pays off if everything unfolds how the team hopes it will.
