Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
The Wizards refuse to quit. Give them credit.
This team is about to miss the playoffs – again. Yet, it’s being heavily reported that the organization intends on extending Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma this summer. Go figure.
With that in mind, some may question this move. If the Wizards are in win-now mode, why are they flipping a productive player for two first-round picks?
Simple. This is the trade before the trade. We’re assuming that the Wizards would look to flip this draft capital as the season wears on.
