Holy crap now we’re talking!! 8 firsts in 3 years!

Well, that counts the 3 from the last draft, as well as the kid they just got from that same draft, in the Bucks deal.

So it’s a little skewed, IMO

Damn did not expect this. Will say Butler impressed me every time he was getting some play time so glad to see him get a chance.

Didn't we have Alex Len a few years back for a time?

Anyways dig the first round picks. No idea who colby jones is. EDIT 34th pick by charlotte in the 2023 draft. Fits the development time line with the younglings they have.

Retire the jersey!

AJ Johnson looks like he has some good potential but sometimes he's not getting into the game rotation.

Sarr is taking forever to come back.

How the NBA trade deadline set up seven lottery teams: Plans for draft, free agency and rising stars

Here's how last week's wild trade deadline shifted the next four months -- and likely beyond -- for seven rebuilding franchises.

www.espn.com

1. Washington Wizards (9-44)​

• Chance at No. 1 pick: 14%
• Chance at top-5 pick: 91.4%

What's new after the trade deadline?
The Wizards made a series of moves designed to add to their stockpile of draft picks, including sending several second-rounders to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a late first-rounder in 2026, and getting Memphis' 2025 first-rounder -- another late first selection -- to take on Marcus Smart's salary for next season. -- Tim Bontemps

How have the Wizards' draft plans changed?

The lottery-protected first from Memphis is highly likely to convey, giving the Wizards an additional first-round selection to add to their rebuild. The priority here is nailing their high-lottery pick, but the Wizards have the luxury of a long runway to figure it out. -- Jeremy Woo
How could Washington approach the offseason and free agency?
Before the deadline, the Wizards were one of a handful of teams that projected to have salary cap space this summer. That changed when Washington prioritized draft assets over financial flexibility. The Wizards added two first-round picks, three seconds, the right to swap firsts, and 20-year-old rookie AJ Johnson, but at the expense of a combined $55 million owed to Smart and Khris Middleton next season. -- Bobby Marks

Which player could shine in the second half?
Johnson, a rookie guard who played sparingly for a veteran Milwaukee Bucks club, figures to get time with Washington. He had his best game of the season -- a 13-point showing with 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 29 minutes -- this past week in a 125-96 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Developing Bub Carrington and Bilal Coulibalywill be the priority, but Johnson will be in the mix. -- Chris Herring

 

[Ridley Simon]

I’m sure Smart and Middleton can recuperate value. Very happy the team added them as cast offs

They crapped the bed a little not trading Kuzma last year.
