"The Wizards have added several high upside players to an already young roster with the likes of Cam Whitmore, Tre Johnson and Will Riley landing in the DMV this offseason. In addition to the young players, Washington managed to pair two of the best veteran leaders in the league together in CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton, who will serve as mentors for the Wizards heading into next season."
"Wizards will be a team to watch in three-team trades ESPN's Bobby Marks shared some trade notes ahead of the NBA season on Monday and in the midst of his preseason primer, the Wizards were mentioned as a team to monitor to be involved with any potential three-team deals. "The Hornets, Jazz and Wizards are teams to watch either in a three-team trade or a deal taking back salary," Marks said."
The Washington Wizards enter the upcoming season with high hopes but minimal external expectations for wins. The roster gained high-upside young players including Cam Whitmore, Tre Johnson and Will Riley while pairing veteran leaders CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton to provide mentorship. The young core has the talent to surprise and could either finish in the lower half of the standings or contend for a play-in spot. The front office retains financial flexibility and trade appeal, holding non-tax MLE assets and making the team a potential partner in multi-team deals.
