"General manager Will Dawkins continues to navigate the future in the DMV and as he prioritizes the right fits on the roster, the Wizards have become a team that many have considered one of the most active in the league. Whether it's taking swings on young talent like Cam Whitmore and Malaki Branham, or landing veteran playmakers like CJ McCollum, Washington is always in the market to make a move."
"As the team's season continues to unfold, there's no doubt that the Wizards rough start will likely lead to a roster shake up at some point this season. Obviously, names like McCollum and Khris Middleton are two candidates that will likely come up in trade talks; at least by the Wizards fanbase. Two veterans who not only don't fit the timeline for the Wizards rebuild, but are on lucrative contract."
Will Dawkins has actively reshaped the Washington Wizards roster through trades and acquisitions. The team has pursued young talent like Cam Whitmore and Malaki Branham as well as veteran playmakers such as CJ McCollum. A rough start to the season increases the likelihood of roster changes before the trade deadline. High-salary veterans like McCollum and Khris Middleton present trade interest but are difficult to move without sacrificing draft capital. The Wizards can instead target movable rotation pieces who can fetch solid returns and free minutes for younger players. Corey Kispert has emerged as a realistic trade candidate given early-season struggles.
