Re: Trae Young trade to my Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert

1/8/26

A few thoughts on the trade:

Having no picks is particularly advantageous for us. We owe one to the Knicks, but we’re confident we’ll maintain our current status by continuing to perform poorly, especially considering the exceptional talent in this upcoming draft class.

We should aim to become competitive within the next two years. And having Trae as a primary guard will free space for Alex Sarr on pick & rolls, and the other shooters/forwards on the team too :)

Our salary cap is $80 million, so even with Trae Young’s $49 million contract, we still have substantial room to secure bad contracts or free agents this summer.

Additionally, we haven’t had a superstar on our roster since Russell Westbrook’s tenure from 2020 to 2021, and John Wall before that.

The Wizards don’t have any big extensions looming, so even if they gave Young a two- or three-year deal this summer, they’ll be in great shape financially. This might be the perfect rental with a chance at long-term success. And if it doesn’t work out, they can cut the bait and maintain business as usual in their development process.

Whole heartedly agree with all of these from my friend Naomi Accardi

FWIW [my wife] and I got married within 5 weeks after getting engaged, and our little 13-people ceremony in my village in the south of France, in the middle of February, has been a much better memory than a costly-ordeal-to-“please”-hundreds-of-people-whom-we-hadn’t-seen-or-connected-with-in-recent-years would have been.

We’re about to enter our 9th year together, and 7th year of marriage, and now have a wonderful 2yo daughter who keeps us on our toes 😆 🐣 👩‍❤️‍👨

Two people wearing Santa hats are performing on stage with festive lights in the background. A social media post by Thibaut Lemaitre discusses agreement with Naomi Accardi, shares details about a small wedding in France, and mentions having a two-year-old daughter.
