The Wizards are in full rout, and they have exploded their workforce! Thus, Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans take the direction of Dallas against… Kristaps Porzingis and a second round of Draft!
It’s incomprehensible because Dallas didn’t need a playmaker like that, while the Wizards didn’t need a fragile, highly paid power forward. But Jalen Brunson will be free agent, and maybe Dallas has its back. The pivot Moses Brown is in any case cut accordingly.
Then the Wizards decided to meet the needs of the Hornets. After failing to recruit Myles Turner and Jakob Poeltl, the Charlotte leaders finally set their sights on Montrezl Harrell, the Wizards’ replacement pivot, still considered one of the best replacement interiors in the NBA.
Montrezl Harrell is therefore part of the big cleaning of the franchise of the capital, and he is exchanged against Vernon Carey Jr. and Ish Smith, who already knows Washington. It is therefore not post for post for the Wizards, who had already recovered Thomas Bryant a few weeks ago, and who had one pivot too many.
For Charlotte, it’s the end of a long quest for a pivot to help Mason Plumlee. Montrezl Harrell is going to bring points and aggression into the paint, but he’s not the one bringing defense and size.
Finally, the Wizards also traded Aaron Holiday to the Suns… All that to offer the maximum next summer to Bradley Beal?
