"Following another historically bad start to the regular season for the Wizards, it's become increasingly obvious that the team is closer to yet another roster shakeup than they are standing pat ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February, Obviously, names like CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton immediately come to mind when discussing the players Washington could be motivated to move on from ahead of the deadline, but there's no doubt the Wizards will have their hands full turning that motivation into reality."
"Justin Champagnie earned a standard contract with the Wizards this offseason after impressing during his stints in the DMV last season. The former undrafted prospect has quietly developed into a solid depth piece and his young age and scoring upside made it seem like he could be a solid value piece for the Wizards rebuild moving forward. However, to start the season, Champagnie's inconsistency has made it seem like he could very well find his time in D.C. limited moving forward."
The Washington Wizards have started the regular season poorly and face a high likelihood of roster changes ahead of the February NBA trade deadline. Veteran contracts like CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton complicate potential trades because of salary and production concerns, making buyouts a possible alternative. Younger players including Cam Whitmore, Will Riley, and Kyshawn George have reduced opportunities for other depth players. Justin Champagnie, who earned a standard contract after strong DMV performances, has shown inconsistency and may struggle to secure rotation minutes when healthy. The team may consider trading, buying out, or limiting playing time for expendable pieces to reshape the roster.
