The Washington Wizards have undergone several roster changes, trading notable players like Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal. One controversial move was trading Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers for a lottery pick resulting in Bub Carrington and Malcolm Brogdon. With Brogdon's impending departure, the trade is viewed as Avdija for Carrington and a future pick. Avdija's promising performance in his final season with the Wizards was overlooked, and he has since excelled in Portland, averaging significant stats that highlight his growth.
Deni Avdija was traded from the Wizards to the Trail Blazers in exchange for a lottery pick which resulted in Bub Carrington and Malcolm Brogdon. Brogdon is now set to sign elsewhere, leaving the trade as Deni Avdija for Bub Carrington and a 2029 first-round pick.
