NBA Trade Rumors: 5 teams who should try to trade for Jordan Clarkson
Washington Wizards
Of all the teams on this list, the Washington Wizards arguably need Jordan Clarkson the most. Their starting five has shown it can compete with just about anyone’s. John Wall has a legitimate argument for being the best point guard in the entire NBA, Bradley Beal has turned the corner and has become an all-star level player and has seemingly placed his injury history behind him. Otto Porter is not, I repeat is not, a max level player but he is a good young player who has improved year after year.
Marcin Gortat and Markieff Morris has added toughness and physicality to this roster as well.
The bench, however, is nonexistent. And losing Bojan Bogdanovic will only make it worse, if that’s even possible at this juncture.
Nabbing Clarkson in a trade would provide the Wizards with an upgrade over Bogdanovic and it would also give this team a major scoring lift off the bench that it desperately needs.
