The Washington Wizards are 11-17, and appear to look inconsistent despite the fact that they’re only two games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They’re currently on a three-game losing streak and while have been playing a little better as of late, they still aren’t getting the results in the standings.

We’ve already heard whispers of this team possibly making a trade, and that no one – with the exception of Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. – is really off limits. However, there hasn’t really been much traction on that front despite their continued struggles.

Finally pulling the trigger may be the shakeup that this team needs right now. We know that they have enough talent to be dangerous in the Eastern Conference, they simply don’t have the right formula right now.
