"It's unlikely that teams are lining up to trade for Bagley and Gill, and the Wizards are likely not open to trading their young prospects like Bilal Coulibaliy and Kyshawn George. The class of player likely to be on the trade block are the proven veterans. The Wizards would love to find value in a deal involving Khris Middleton or CJ McCollum; taking back future salary for draft assets is a common move for tanking teams."
"There is one player who falls within a sweet spot who could generate trade interest on his own, and that is Corey Kispert. The former Gonzaga marksman has established himself as a solid player with a consistent jumper, but as his 27th birthday approaches, he no longer fits within the "young core" of the roster. Kispert is under contract for this season and three more at less than the Mid-Level Exception; he makes $14 million this year and next,"
The Washington Wizards have opened the season 3-20 through 23 games, replicating last season's poor start. The franchise has shifted into a full rebuild, making painful roster moves and prioritizing future draft assets over immediate results. The team will act as sellers at the Trade Deadline, with newly signed players becoming tradable after December 15. Young prospects like Bilal Coulibaliy and Kyshawn George are unlikely to be moved, and role players such as Marvin Bagley III and Anthony Gill may draw limited interest. Proven veterans are the primary tradeable pieces, and Corey Kispert represents a strong candidate given his shooting, age, and contract profile.
