A Franchise Shift? Breaking Down the Wizards’ Trae Young Trade

Doc Walker welcomes on Ben Strober of the Locked On Wizards Podcast to react to the Wizards trading for Trae Young. Strober explains why he’s pleased with the move and why this deal signals a turning point for the franchise. The two discuss why it makes sense for Washington to take on Trae Young’s massive contract, how the Wizards can balance adding a star while still remaining a bottom-four team to protect their top-8 draft pick, and why Strober believes fans will one day look back on this moment as the point when the Wizards finally decided to get serious.
