Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal 

The Wizards do this deal in hopes that Russell can recoup his value. 

After all, it wasn’t so long ago that Russell was a borderline star player. It may well be that the situation in Minnesota is simply not ideal for him. If that’s the case, the situation in Washington ought to suit him better. 

The Wizards could use a starting point guard. At 7-6, they’ve been a surprisingly competitive club this summer. They might as well fill a hole in their roster and continue competing. 

If Russell can get back to form, he could be the perfect player to fill that hole. His strong floor vision and playmaking ought to mesh well with Bradley Beal’s scoring instincts.
