After a tumultuous start to the season during which the Wizards reportedly were reportedly listening to offers for anyone on the roster, things appear to have cooled down considerably. Part of that is because the Wizards have already made moves. They dealt Jason Smith and a second round pick to Milwaukee for Sam Dekker, and they trade Kelly Oubre Jr. and Austin Rivers to Phoenix for Trevor Ariza.
The team is also playing better. They’ve won six of their last nine including wins over the Bucks (albeit without Giannis), Thunder, and 76ers.
