Washington Wizards

There is no one, and I mean no one, on the Washington Wizards roster that the Wizards would want to trade and that the Suns would want in return.

Would the Suns love to find a way to trade for Bradley Beal or John Wall? Sure! But would Washington want to trade them? Nope.

Would the Wizards be willing to trade Ian Mahinmi, Marcin Gortat, Markieff Morris, Andrew Nicholson, or Otto Porter Jr.? Yup! Would the Suns want to trade for any of them? Nnnnoooooope!

Why Washington would want Brandon Knight is beyond me anyway. With Beal and Wall

performing solidly in the backcourt already Knight wouldn’t start so both he and the Wizards would be in the exact same situation as the Suns and Knight are in right now.

That being said, if the Wizards desperately wanted Brandon Knight, the way to make it happen would be by trading Markieff Morris back to the Suns. And since there is not a snowball’s chance in hell of that happening, then it would have to be in a three-team swap. And since I do not know who would want to acquire the existing $24M mess that is Markieff and his contract, I don’t even know where to start with that, so I won’t even touch it.
