About this listen

In this must-listen episode of The Hoop Heads NBA podcast, we dive deep into the blockbuster trade that just shook the NBA: four-time All-Star Trae Young is headed to the Washington Wizards!

We break down the details of the deal—Atlanta sending Ice Trae to D.C. in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert—and what it means for both franchises. Was this a savvy move by the Wizards to accelerate their rebuild around young talent like Alex Sarr, or a risky bet on a high-usage guard? How does Trae's preference for Washington (and potential extension talks) factor in? And what does this say about his legacy after years as the face of the Hawks?

But that's not all—we're looking ahead to the February 5th trade deadline frenzy. We discuss other rumored moves that could still go down, potential sellers and buyers, blockbuster candidates shaking the league, and how Young's trade might ripple through the rest of the market.

Whether you're a stats nerd, a rebuild watcher, or just love NBA chaos, this episode delivers hot takes, analysis, and plenty of debate. Don't miss it—hit play now and join the conversation!
