Washington Wizards
Send: Jason Smith, 2019 first round pick
Receive: Julius Randle
The Wizards have a shot to get home court in the first round, and are just a few games back of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Making a move for Randle is a trade that could get them to the top of the Southeast Division, and give them a physical rebounder off the bench.
Randle’s ability to score in transition, while also score off the dribble, would be an incredible addition to the Wizards bench. Ian Mahinmi isn’t a scoring threat, and the Wizards could re-sign the former Kentucky big to be their center of the future once Gortat and Mahinmi are no longer under contract. A core of Wall, Beal, and Randle is an exciting Big Three in the Eastern Conference, that’ll be making the playoffs for years.
