The Washington Wizards have traded Jared Butler and four second-round picks to the Philadelphia 76ers for Reggie Jackson and a 2026 first-round pick, according to sources. Butler was on a two-way contract and had shown promise, including a notable 26-point game recently. The Wizards, who previously held 18 second-round picks, made this tactical move to secure a likely late first-round selection in 2026. Reggie Jackson, now on an expiring contract, may be waived if Washington cannot trade him before the deadline.
The Wizards utilized their surplus of second-round picks to acquire a 2026 first-round pick from the 76ers, indicating a strategic shift in their roster approach.
Reggie Jackson, with a $2.1 million cap hit, is on an expiring contract and may not stay in Washington if they can't reroute him before the deadline.
