That is a very low price to pay.

I like that trade for both teams. ATL clears a ton of cap space, and WAS gets to bring in an exciting but flawed floor general with low pressure. I think the Wiz will be fun to watch. And ATL can work the FA market this summer. Win win.

Trae Young has the Washington Wizards as his top preferred trade destination, sources tell ESPN.

I like it for the Wiz. Their young core could really benefit from someone who can create as much offense as Young can for them and they basically got him for free. That's a franchise that has been starved for star-level talent.

Beal and Arenas were the last two I remember off the top of my head.

Eric Collins might be my second favorite announcer after Al.

Stix is not a 4. I like him and root for him but he’s Oso with a 3 point shot (minus the dribbling and passing).
So ... Not Oso?!?

Not Oso. But still not a 4. He can’t really move his feet on defense.

I like Collins, but I could see myself getting tired of him if I listened to him every game.
