About this listen
Trae Young to the Washington Wizards… wait, WHAT?! In this episode of 3 in the Key, we dive into one of the most confusing moves in recent NBA memory. The Hawks trade their franchise star — with no draft picks coming back — and the Wizards become Trae’s preferred destination. So what’s really happening here? Are the Hawks quietly restructuring their salary cap? Is Trae prioritizing money, control, or something bigger? And can the Wizards actually build something real with him at the helm?
Then we shift to an all-time debate: Kevin Durant’s legacy. KD just passed Wilt for 7th all-time in scoring and is on pace to pass Dirk soon — his scoring average is top five in NBA history, he’s got rings, Finals MVPs, and one of the deepest bags ever. So why doesn’t it feel like he’s viewed in that top-tier legacy group with Kobe, Shaq, or Steph? Is it the “73-9 Warriors” decision still hanging over him, or something else?
We close by zooming out: what championships mean, how the league has changed, and how NBA legends shape the way we judge greatness today.
Tap in — and tell us in the comments:
Is Trae’s Wizards move smart… or a disaster waiting to happen?
And where do YOU rank KD all-time?
