The Washington Wizards have "shown an inclination" to trade a first round pick to acquire a veteran player that could even be a rental for their playoff push. The Wizards could even trade a pick in this year's deep draft.

Washington's front office has acknowledged they have a top-heavy roster and need depth. After a slow start to the season under Scott Brooks, the Wizards have surged in the new year.

Last February, the Wizards traded a first round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Markieff Morris.
