Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
For the Wizards, this isn’t about what they’re losing. Realistically, what do they have to lose?
After all, this team is 18-26. If the Warriors need some tinkering, the Wizards need a complete overhaul. This team should rebuild.
This deal gets them a long way toward doing so. The highlight of the return is probably Kuminga. As a big playmaking wing with great athleticism, he’s got star potential in this league.
Still, the Wizards get other solid young players here, too. Moses Moody can be a nice 3-and-D wing. James Wiseman can still be a good defensive big.
