The Atlanta Hawks have COMMITTED FRANCHISE SUICIDE, dumping four-time NBA All-Star Trae Young in a SHOCKING and DESPERATE trade to the Washington Wizards, according to ESPN.
In a mind-boggling return, the Hawks receive veteran shooting guard CJ McCollum and forward Corey Kispert—a PITIFUL haul for a franchise cornerstone. This isn’t a trade; it’s a WHITEWAVE SURRENDER.
