"Between the expiring contract of Khris Middleton, the Wizards willingness to help facilitate trades with the focus of potentially adding young talent and draft capital and the fact that Washington has already proven to be aggressive upgrading their roster if the team's blockbuster trade for Trae Young didn't already showcase that. Beyond that, Washington has multiple players on the roster that could prove to be an attractive addition for multiple playoff-caliber teams."
"In his second stint with the Wizards, the former No. 2 overall pick has seemingly finally found his footing in a reserve role in Washington. Averaging 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists on shooting splits of 61.9% from field goal range and 38.9% from three, Bagley has filled the backup center role on Brian Keefe's squad perfectly. Not to mention the big performances the former Duke star has put together on several occasions this offseason in spot starts for Washington."
Washington appears likely to be active before the NBA trade deadline, driven by Khris Middleton's expiring contract, a willingness to acquire young talent and draft capital, and prior aggressive roster moves including the Trae Young blockbuster. Several Wizards players are attractive to playoff teams, with Marvin Bagley III drawing particular buzz after signing in free agency. In his second stint Bagley has settled into a reserve role, averaging 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 61.9 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from three. His scoring craft, floor-stretching and veteran-minimum contract make him an intriguing trade candidate. The Houston Rockets are navigating a preseason injury to Fred VanVleet and could show interest.
