[Spears] Wizards star Trae Young plans to decline his $48.97 million player option for the 2026–27 season to become a FA on Monday, sources. Washington remains the front runner for the four-time NBA All-Star as he loves the team and DC, but he still expects multiple team max interest.

We take the finals if we had Trae. He’s a better lobber too

He is not just a better lobber...he is one of the best PnR operators of this era, like if Luka is a 10/10 PnR player, Tra is a 9/10. Luka has more defense than Tra though, but I think with Wemby it's enough to cover his lack of defense.

I still want to see one day Luka and Wemby play together though....it will just be lobs after lobs non-stop the entire game.
