Russell Westbrook rejoining the Wizards isn't nearly as unrealistic as it sounds

"The Washington Wizards are in the midst of a long awaited and much needed rebuild. General manager Will Dawkins has made his strategy moving forward pretty clear at this point. Between the variety of attempts to surround the young talent on the roster with viable veterans, Washington has made it obvious that having a mentor and veteran presence on their team is a point of emphasis."

"Washington brought in Malcolm Brogdon and Jonas Valanciunas last offseason. Khris Middleton joined ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February and he's poised to start the season in D.C. after picking up his player option to return this offseason. Not to mention both Marcus Smart and Richaun Holmes, who spent time in the DMV before the Wizards opted to buy the vets out earlier this offseason."

"The Wizards most recent veteran addition came this offseason with the move to acquire CJ McCollum from the New Orleans Pelicans in one of the first blockbuster trades of the offseason. At this point, it's almost a guarantee that the Wizards have their eyes peeled for adding veterans that could offer something beneficial to the team's rebuild. And with Russell Westbrook still available on the free agency market, a reunion in Washington may not be as crazy as it seems after all."

The Washington Wizards are undergoing a long-awaited rebuild with general manager Will Dawkins emphasizing veteran mentorship around young talent. The roster additions include Malcolm Brogdon, Jonas Valanciunas, Khris Middleton, and the recent acquisition of CJ McCollum. Marcus Smart and Richaun Holmes had brief DMV stints before being bought out. The front office continues to seek seasoned players who provide leadership and developmental value. Russell Westbrook remains a top free agent option due to his recent role with the Denver Nuggets, and a potential reunion with Washington is considered plausible given the team's ongoing pursuit of veteran help.
