The Washington Wizards have made significant roster changes this offseason, acquiring players such as CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore while cutting veterans including Marcus Smart. General manager Will Dawkins has positioned the team as a facilitator for others looking to offload contracts. The Wizards aim to combine veteran leadership with their young talent, following strategies from the Oklahoma City Thunder. An opportunity may arise with the Chicago Bulls, who are exploring trades for Nikola Vucevic, which could enhance the Wizards' frontcourt depth.
The Wizards have built a reputation for themselves by becoming a facilitator for teams looking to offload veterans and unwanted contracts or making a deal work to get around the harsh restrictions of the new CBA guidelines.
Washington has elected to take a page out of Sam Presti and the Oklahoma City Thunder's book due to the future financial flexibility and the ability to surround their young players with veteran leadership.
The Wizards could benefit from bringing in a talented big like Vucevic to play alongside Alex Sarr in the front court while adding much-needed depth.
Over the last year, the Wizards have found themselves welcoming in multiple veterans including Malcolm Brogdon, Jonas Valanciunas, Khris Middleton, Smart, and McCollum.
