The Washington Wizards have made it clear since their rebuild began that a major part of the process would be bringing in veteran leaders that could play a pivotal role in the development of their young core.
Washington tried their hand at finding veteran mentors by trading for Malcolm Brogdon, signing Jonas Valanciunas, taking on the contracts of veterans like Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart ahead of last February's NBA trade deadline and most recently acquiring CJ McCollum.
Throughout the team's efforts, they have yet to find the one veteran that could make a lasting impact, at least not one that was noticable to the fanbase.
