The Washington Wizards have embraced Trae Young after trading for him at last season's deadline. They've even signed him to a massive four-year, $212.8 million contract extension this summer. But despite their desperate need for a point guard at the time, and their strong desire to move off of one of their lead-weight contracts, the Sacramento Kings weren't the least bit interested in trading for Young at the deadline. REPORT: The Kings rejected a Trae Young for Zach LaVine trade, ...

The Atlanta Hawks reportedly wanted Zach LaVine for Trae Young, leaving no questions as to their intentions for a return.
When the Wizards selected Tristan Vukcevic with the 42nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, I thought it was something of a steal. He was 25th in my YODA rankings — the last player in 2023 to notch a first-round grade in my stat-based prospect evaluation process. So, I had hopes. Not exactly high […]
Where were you when Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo dropped a career-high 83 points on the Washington Wizards in March? To borrow a worn-out meme, it was absolute cinema.

And that has led ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk to suggest that his stay in D.C. could still be a short one.

The Wizards got a fascinating prospect when they chose Will Riley 21st overall. He’s 6-9, skilled, has a funky tough-to-defend (especially if refs keep letting him use that carry elongated hesi dribble) game, and a good helping of competitive moxey. He had some good moments last season, though I was less enamored with even “the […]
