The Washington Wizards pulled off a surprise trade this season by bringing in StarGar Trey Young. Now, it looks like they're in it for the long haul with him. NBA insider Mark Stein reports that the team and young are expected to agree on a contract extension this summer. Sources say it's likely a three-year deal to keep him locked in. Young has a player option worth $49 million for next season, giving him leverage in talks. The Wizards see him as a cornerstone for their rebuild. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks made it clear last summer they wouldn't offer him a new contract. That reluctance pushed him to deal him to the nation's capital. This move signals a big retooling effort by the Wizards, and more details should emerge soon as negotiations heat up. D&N is sponsored by our partner. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone.
