Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards will finally be able to contend next season.

While even at full strength they weren’t able to truly get everything together, next season is starting to have some hope as Bradley Beal and John Wall will once again line the Wizards backcourt.

Along with 2019 lottery pick Rui Hachimura, the Wizards have the pieces and could use a dominant big man to help maximize their backcourt’s scoring ability.  With an unsurprisingly disappointing season, the Wizards will once again have a lottery pick.

Not trusting the franchise to improve, the Warriors could easily request two future first-round picks, one of which would be their currently top-ten projected pick in the upcoming draft.

It’s tough to envision too many Wizards helping round out the Warriors roster to add onto those picks, but Troy Brown Jr. may be one potential option. With or without Brown, the No. 9 pick and another lottery pick should be enough.

All three of these trades feel like they’d be wins for both sides.
