Trae Young got visibly emotional after the Hawks gave him a proper farewell when the Wizards visited on Tuesday night.

The former All-Star last played in a game while he was still a Hawk in December.

NBA Hall-of-Famer Paul Pierce didn’t hold back on the Atlanta Hawks following the organization’s decision to trade star guard Trae Young. The Hawks traded Young this week to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.

Atlanta Hawks star Jalen Johnson is in the midst of his best year as a pro. Heading into Tuesday’s matchup against the Washington Wizards, the fifth-year small forward has produced averages of 23.4 points on 49.

An NBA scout who once doubted the Hawks ability to break through now sees the vision of GM Onsi Saleh after a flurry of trades at the deadline.
