The Washington Wizards have signed guard Cassius Winston to a Two-Way Contract.

The Wizards acquired the rights to Cassius Winston from Michigan State (53^rd overall pick) after trading the rights to Vit Krejci (37^th overall pick) and Admiral Schofield to Oklahoma City in exchange for the 53^rd pick and Memphis’ 2024 second round pick (which was owned by Oklahoma City) on November 19. 

Winston averaged 18.6 points and 5.9 assists per game as a senior and 18.8 points and 7.5 assists per game as a junior at Michigan State to earn All-America Second Team honors in both seasons, All-Big Ten honors as a senior and Big Ten Player of the Year honors as a junior while leading the Spartans to the 2019 Final Four.  He is one of four players in NCAA D-I history to record at least 1,900 points and 850 assists and finished his career with 894 assists, the most in Big Ten and Michigan State history.

The Detroit Pistons made "an exploratory call" to the Washington Wizards in recent weeks to discuss a potential trade of Blake Griffin for John Wall, sources tell Zach Lowe of ESPN.

Those talks didn't go anywhere and Detroit's level of interest is unclear. The Pistons continue to value Griffin.

Tommy Sheppard of the Wizards maintained this week that they don't have interest in trading Wall.

Wall is signed for one more season than Griffin, suggesting the Pistons would likely ask for draft assets in any trade.

Wall has also been linked with a trade to the Houston Rockets for Russell Westbrook.

Tommy Sheppard publicly stated during a press conference on Monday that the Washington Wizards have no plans to trade John Wall.

Wall's preference for a trade from the Wizards was reported at the opening of free agency on Friday by Shams Charania.

"There's no plans to trade John," said Sheppard. "Obviously, it's unfortunate at this time of year... I was with John this morning. I watched him work out."

Wall's position is believed to be in response to reported discussions between the Wizards and Houston Rockets centered on a trade for Russell Westbrook. 

Sheppard also said that Wall has not requested a trade.

Garrison Mathews will sign his qualifying offer to remain with the Washington Wizards.

Mathews was on a Two-Way contract last season after going undrafted out of Lipscomb.

Raul Neto has agreed to a one-year deal with the Washington Wizards, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Neto averaged 5.1 points and 1.8 assists last season. 

The Washington Wizards have agreed to sign Robin Lopez to a one-year deal for slightly less than the full mid-level exception.

Lopez declined his $5 million player option with the Milwaukee Bucks this week.

John Wall would like a trade from the Washington Wizards.

There were reports last week of trade discussions between the Wizards and Houston Rockets over a Wall for Russell Westbrook trade, but those discussions have stalled.

Wall missed the entire 19-20 season after suffered a ruptured Achilles during the 18-19 season.

Wall signed a four-year, $170 million supermax extension on July 21, 2017. With that extension, Wall effectively was under contract for six years at $209 million.

Wall has a player option for the 22-23 season.

Davis Bertans has agreed to a five-year, $80 million deal with the Washington Wizards.

Bertans had a breakout season in 19-20, his first with the Wizards.

Anthony Gill has agreed to a two-year deal with the Washington Wizards.

Gill played for Khimki in Europe last season.

The Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets have held discussions on a deal centered around John Wall for Russell Westbrook.

There has been no traction with a deal as the Rockets are seeking more assets for Westbrook.

Wall signed a four-year, $171 million extension with the Wizards in 2017. Wall missed the entire 19-20 season after suffering a ruptured Achilles in 2019. Wall is signed through the 22-23 season for $41.25 million in 20-21, $44.3 million in 21-22 and $47.4 million in 22-23.
