The Wizards' latest trade interest makes their trade deadline strategy crystal clear
"With a blockbuster trade already under general manager Will Dawkins and President of Monumental Basketball Michael Winger's belt to start trade season with the acquisition of four-time All-Star Trae Young, there's no doubt that Washington is active on the trade front. Not to mention, the Wizards have been linked to several big-time names on the trade market with the likes of Domantas Sabonis, Jonathan Kuminga and even Zion Williamson being mentioned as names to watch for Washington heading up to the February 5th trade deadline."
"However, the addition of the 28-year-old hasn't exactly matched the expectations that the Cavaliers' decision-makers had for him when he joined the roster. Averaging 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game, while shooting 30.1% from field goal range and 27.2% from beyond the arc in 20.8 minutes per game, Ball has struggled throughout his fresh start in Cleveland."
Washington acquired four-time All-Star Trae Young in a blockbuster transaction and is actively pursuing additional moves before the February 5 trade deadline. The franchise has been connected to major names such as Domantas Sabonis, Jonathan Kuminga and Zion Williamson as potential upgrades. The Wizards have shown specific interest in Lonzo Ball, who was traded to Cleveland for Isaac Okoro and brought pass-first playmaking and defensive potential off the bench. Ball has struggled in Cleveland with low shooting percentages and modest counting stats in limited minutes. Cleveland may view Ball as a trade candidate to shed his $10 million contract.
