Though the Kings had prior interest and even discussed swapping Young for Zach LaVine — whose recent player option decision now makes him more expensive — they ultimately declined. Atlanta’s savvy move landed them CJ McCollum, a cheaper, high-impact scorer who better fits their long-term blueprint, making Sacramento’s pass seem like a lucky break for them.
