The Washington Wizards are moving beyond the “deconstruction” phase, and look poised to make moves toward a playoff run. And given the news about them not being willing to let Anthony Davis go in a trade? That tracks.
In addition, the Wizards are interested in acquiring former Washington star Russell Westbrook, according to Marc Stein. Westbrook is an unrestricted free agent. He last played for the Wizards in 2020-21, where he led Washington to their last playoff berth in 2021, averaging a triple
double.
If Westbrook were to sign with the Wizards, he would likely be a backup to Trae Young. Still, Westbrook can score, rebound and assist like crazy. He averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game last season.
