"Between the package to acquire Anthony Davis that sent out veteran forward Khris Middleton, a savvy backup big man in Marvin Bagley III and two youngsters in AJ Johnson and Malaki Branham, Washington's roster saw several faces swap sides over the last couple months."
"In the player for player swap, Washington managed to land one of the top guard's in the league for CJ McCollum's expiring contract and swing man Corey Kispert, who's developed into one of the most servicable 3-and-D players in the league."
"Kispert's departure was somewhat bitter sweet considering the forward's development began in Washington, and he was on what many would consider an extremely team-friendly deal."
The Washington Wizards executed several significant roster moves ahead of the NBA trade deadline. To acquire Anthony Davis, they traded Khris Middleton, Marvin Bagley III, AJ Johnson, and Malaki Branham. Most notably, they landed four-time All-Star guard Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks by sending CJ McCollum's expiring contract and Corey Kispert. McCollum was acquired in the offseason after the team moved on from Jordan Poole. Kispert's departure was bittersweet given his development in Washington and favorable contract terms, though his fit with the new roster appeared misaligned. Both McCollum and Kispert departed quickly without providing a final contribution to the team.
