Wizards make a playoff push
After a hot start to the season, the Washington Wizards have come back down the Earth and currently sit at the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards may make a move at the deadline that tries to keep star SG Bradley Beal content in Washington and swinging a trade for Julius Randle may be the move they decide to make.
The Wizards have two young forwards in Rui Hachimura and Deni Advija, however, neither of them are starting-caliber yet and the Wizards may become impatient in due time. Trading for Randle would give the Wizards another weapon to accompany Beal and could boost their stock in the Eastern Conference.
In return, the Wizards could offer Spencer Dinwiddie and some draft capital/a young player. This is another scenario in which the Knicks finally solidify that PG spot like they’ve been trying to do for years.
