Breaking: Trae Young intends to sign a four-year, approximately $212 million deal to stay with the Washington Wizards, with a player option in Year 4, sources tell @ShamsCharania.
The four-time NBA All-Star declined his $49M player option for a long-term commitment ahead of free agency.
Trae Young on being doubted:
"This is the most slept on I’ve been in my whole life."
"Imagine the Wizards as the No. 1 team in the East next year… Trust me, I’m probably just entering my prime. The way people talk about me is just funny."
