Hawks announce Trae Young trade with Wizards

The Atlanta Hawks are one of the teams seriously interested in acquiring Anthony Davis from the Dallas Mavericks ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
Recent reports confirm Trae Young is ready to be traded from the Atlanta Hawks, while trade rumors show their big interest in Anthony Davis.
As has been the case for every high-profile trade candidate, the Los Angeles Clippers are being thrown out as a potential landing spot for Morant. NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints identified the Clippers as a "team worth keeping an eye on" who "would possibly consider trading for Morant".
A Morant trade comes with many of the same complications that the Young trade did. The NBA is moving away from small, expensive and defensively deficient point guards. At least Young had only one year left on his contract.
Ja Morant is making moves to make sure his future isn’t dependent on the NBA. As the Memphis Grizzlies guard’s on-court status with the team remains uncertain due to various factors, the two-time All-Star has quietly made a move that has expanded his footprint beyond the league.
