Those first 10 games aside he was a beast, and a great locker room guy. Hope he shows out with the hawks
Will always remember being at the first NBA cup win where he dropped 40!
Thank you CJ for raising your value. It looked rough at first but respect
Hearing him on that, Jeff Teague podcast and saying our young guys were asking him a lot of questions and advice very grateful that he was on our team and he was able to give that to them.

He did what I expected him to do. Veteran/professional influence for the young bucks, and be used as a trade piece for his expiring deal.
Appreciate his time, loved him in Portland. 🫡
He was more than a hero. He was a union man.
Your time was short but you provided leadership and maturity. We knew this was coming and thank you for playing well enough to be a tradable asset. I hope you thrive in atl
Thanks.
Just feel bad he ended up in ATL instead of a real team
His statement about the trade was very professional and encouraging, lot of praise for the organization. Early on I was like “this dude is washed” but he ended up alright and that 50 burger was fun. Good luck CJ!
Was growing to like him a lot. Good luck CJ.

Wild I went to the hawks game last month wanting to see Trae young play in person now he’s on the team and I see him all the time I expect our young guys to improve he’s a special passer
Thank you CJ!
Hmm… This is interesting, just when the Wiz were on a hot streak, they trade their best player for a guy who hasn’t played for most of the season. Guess the Wiz were playing too good, huh? And it looks like the hawks made up their mind to dump Trae last summer, when they decided not to offer him a contract extension…
**Trae Young** has only played in **10 games** during the 2025–26 regular season. Young has missed many games this season mainly because of injuries, which most notably include a recent right quad contusion, and an earlier sprained right MCL. He missed a long stretch of **22‑games**, after suffering a sprained right MCL.

Appreciate CJ he did a lot for us even in a short time
See ya, we need playoff births & rings!!!
True culture changer. You made Wizard a better franchise in just six month.
Thank you for your service!
I guess thanks for building up your trade value, although this still just feels like a lateral move? Weren’t a ton of other bad contracts to absorb into the cap space I suppose.
