Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
When acquiring a star, arguably, the most important next step is to provide them with a co-star. If nothing else, the Washington Wizards already check that box.
Durant and Bradley Beal would be one of the best duos in the NBA. Still, it’s fair to wonder whether they’d have enough leftover to support them.
At the same time, they might! Kyle Kuzma may be able to function as a third option. Daniel Gafford is a solid rim-protecting big. The recently acquired Will Barton and Monte Morris are good rotation players.
It wouldn’t be a superteam, but it would be the most interesting Wizards squad in a very long time.

A nice 50-55 win season could end up attracting more talent ahead of 2023-24. If Durant can just sustain his prime production until then, the Wizards could build a serious contender here.
For a franchise as long-suffering as theirs, that should be worth any price.
