22. Washington Wizards (11-18)

The good news for Washington Wizards fans’ – if this is something you’re interested in – is that they haven’t exactly given up on this season. Instead of blowing up their roster, by trading away one of their core pieces, the Wizards decided to add to this roster.

They completed a trade for Trevor Ariza Saturday, and in exchange sent Kelly Oubre Jr. and Austin Rivers to the Suns. This trade will help this team when it comes to winning now, and perhaps adding a veteran, defensive-minded piece will help this team get back on track.

However, that’s no sure thing. Washington better hope it’s enough to get them back into the top 8 of the Eastern Conference, though. Or else this trade will look bad. Really bad.
