Trae Young Sees Hidden Potential in Wizards’ Future—Could He Be the Missing Link?
Young spent seven-plus seasons in Atlanta. He was eligible for a four-year extension, but the Hawks didn’t make him a long-term offer this past offseason. After leading the NBA in assists per game in 2024-25, Young is now in the fourth year of a five-year, $215 million deal.
He has a player option for $49 million next season, meaning he could hit free agency in the summer. But Young wanted to play for the Wizards.
He talked Friday about wanting to see through Capital One Arena renovations and how he’s taken notice of an organizational transformation under Dawkins and team president Michael Winger.
