5. Washington Wizards
Washington Wizards get Donovan Mitchell
Utah Jazz get Kyle Kuzma, Rui Hachimura, Deni Avdija, Johnny Davis, 2026 first-round pick, 2028 first-round pick
Now that the Washington Wizards have re-signed Bradley Beal to a supermax extension, it would make the most sense for them to try to find a second star to stick next to him. Though, that could be easier said than done.
Donovan Mitchell is a player that the Wizards are reportedly interested in acquiring but doing so could be difficult. The best chance of landing Mitchell is probably the Wizards throwing in rookie Johnny Davis into a deal. But at that point, you can make an argument that the Wizards should simply roll the dice on Davis’ potential moving forward.
Apart from Davis, the Wizards don’t exactly have another blue chip asset on the roster that they would be willing to move, aside from a collection of first-round picks that could prove to be valuable down the line.
