In the same breath, the fact that Washington forked up three first-round picks in the package suggests that the Wizards view Davis as a player that will remain in the DMV for awhile."

"Washington started things off with the addition of four-time All-Star Trae Young, who many felt was already a steal the Wizards just simply couldn't refuse.
