Michael Winger explains where the Wizards actually stand after adding Trae Young
"The Washington Wizards haven't been afraid to pull the trigger on big trades and they've proven that over the last few years. In fact, Washington's front office filled with President of Monumental Basketball Michael Winger and general manager Will Dawkins' have combined to make the Wizards one of the most active teams on the trade market as of late. Between their offseason addition of CJ McCollum and eventual blockbuster trade for four-time All-Star Trae Young, Washington has remained in the headlines."
""We think acquiring a 4-time All-Star in his prime was a hell of an acquisition for us, but we [as an organization] are not hitting a gas pedal," Winger said. It's hard to imagine that Washington's not looking to make win-now moves considering the fact the team took a swing on Young after his decision to list the team as his preferred landing spot."
The Washington Wizards have been highly active on the trade market, adding CJ McCollum in the offseason and executing a blockbuster trade for four-time All-Star Trae Young. The front office led by Michael Winger and GM Will Dawkins has repeatedly pursued major roster moves. The Trae Young deal raised questions about the team's timeline and intentions, including playoff ambitions and potential further blockbusters. Michael Winger described the Young acquisition as a significant addition but emphasized that the organization is not "hitting a gas pedal." The team intends to remain measured, staying ready to pursue opportunities without forcing a win-now strategy.
