"With plenty of new additions on the roster, including multiple young prospects like Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore, Washington has a variety of options for head coach Brian Keefe to lean in the team's revamped roster. However, general manager Will Dawkins made it clear that the Wizards rebuild is only in the beginning stages with no end in sight. Not only have the Wizards added young talent over the last year, but they have also added several veterans."
"Nonetheless, there's a growing sense that McCollum in specific could find himself being dealt even sooner than the February deadline. McCollum joined the Wizards earlier in the offseason in one of the first blockbuster trades of many, The 34-year-old guard landed in Washington in exchange for Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey and draft compensation. Washington's motive to land McCollum seemed clear when looking at the financial flexibility that offloading Poole and bringing in McCollum's expiring contract brought."
Washington enters the regular season with numerous new additions, blending young prospects like Tre Johnson, Cam Whitmore, Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and AJ Johnson. General manager Will Dawkins frames the rebuild as still in early stages with no planned endpoint. Head coach Brian Keefe will juggle multiple rotation options as minutes grow scarce. The roster also includes veterans such as Khris Middleton and newly acquired CJ McCollum, whose expiring contract and veteran leadership offer financial flexibility and mentorship. McCollum could become trade interest, possibly from Houston after Fred VanVleet's injury, ahead of the February deadline.
