Quality summary of the Wizards situation from the contracts, to the trades, etc. Ive watched Utility Sports for a few draft years now, and it’s been pretty good.

Interesting. I don’t think they would trade for Giddey since there are other players in the upcoming draft like Nikola Topic who basically have the same archetype (tall guard, great passer, bad shooting and defense) and don’t have the added baggage of (allegedly) sleeping with minors, and he’s up for a contract extension in 2025. I also don’t think Presti wants to make a big move quite yet.
I like Wiggins as a trade target if they could get the Warriors to attach a pick + Moody. Kuzma for Wiggins + Moody theoretically works. Kuz adds rebounding, size, and ball handling to the Warriors and his contract is extremely favorable in the next few years for a team that has to try and create flexibility around Steph, Draymond, and possibly also Klay. Wiggins has a contract through 2026 with a player option in 2027, which fits our timeline for a rebuild. Wiggins – like Poole – seems disinterested in playing basketball, so he will make a fine addition to the tank.

5:45 He says he was the only person that has been on youtube talking about the Wizards the past couple years. Wha? I saw the “joking…sort of” overlay. Not sure how he could possibly think that.
