"Washington has added a premiere guard in four-time All-Star Trae Young and future Hall-of-Fame big man Anthony Davis. Young in specific was a deal that seemed too good for the Wizards to pass up, especially after being listed as the elite playmaker's preferred landing spot. Considering the glaring hole in the backcourt and the obviois void that Young's additiojn would fill, the opportunity to land him at an extremely discounted price of CJ McCollum's expiring contract and Corey Kispert was a no-brainer."
"The 32-year-old big man was involved in the league-altering trade ahead of last February's NBA trade deadline that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in what many consider the most confusing deal of all-time. Beyond the fact that Dallas was motivated to move on from the big man so quickly, the idea that a rebuilding team like the Wizards would be the squad to step up makes it even more confusing,"
Washington acquired four-time All-Star guard Trae Young and veteran big man Anthony Davis in recent blockbuster trades. Young addresses a major backcourt need and arrived in exchange for CJ McCollum's expiring contract and Corey Kispert. Davis, 32, was previously part of the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers and his move to a rebuilding Washington surprised observers. Both Young and Davis are currently not expected to play soon for the Wizards due to recovery timelines and injuries. The transactions indicate the franchise is assembling talent while still maintaining a longer-term rebuild and potential tanking strategy.
