"With the Young trade as the template of a low-cost trade for a distressed asset, league sources speculated that New Orleans Pelicans big man Zion Williamson would be someone the Wizards would have to consider if the price is right,"
"To be crystal clear: The Wizards trading for Williamson appears to be an extreme long shot. But it was mentioned as a possibility by enough league sources that"
The Washington Wizards demonstrated a willingness to make bold roster moves by acquiring Trae Young. The approaching NBA trade deadline creates a likely window for another blockbuster trade. The Wizards possess financial flexibility, veteran contracts, young talent and abundant draft assets to construct significant deals. Two specific trade targets have emerged: Zion Williamson and Jonathan Kuminga. Zion Williamson, age 25, remains a high-upside prospect if he can overcome recurring injuries. Williamson is averaging about 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting roughly 58.2% from the field this season. A deal for Williamson would be a high-risk, high-reward move and appears to be an unlikely long shot.
