There was an end of an era (error?) in Atlanta on Wednesday, as the Hawks pulled the trigger on a long-rumored trade, ending the Trae Young era by sending him to… [checks notes] …the Washington Wizards in exchange for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum. No picks going either way. It’s a surreal ending to a […]

After Monday’s blowout loss in Detroit, there seem […]
