Wizards Interested In Trading For Monte Morris

Jun 23, 2022 9:26 AM

The Washington Wizards are known to be looking for a point guard. One player they reportedly have their eyes on is Monte Morris of the Denver Nuggets.

Morris' name has come up in recent weeks, as Denver is looking to find a way to increase Bones Hyland's role. Jamal Murray is returning after missing all of last season, and Hyland impressed as a rookie.

That could squeeze Morris. He's got a very tradable $9.1 million contract for next season and Morris had a great season as a starter for the Nuggets. Washington is currently without a point guard that is guaranteed to be on the roster for this coming season.

Wizards Discuss Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope In Potential Deal For Malcolm Brogdon

Jun 23, 2022 1:51 AM

The Washington Wizards and New York Knicks have "consistently discussed" deals for Malcolm Brogdon, sources told Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report.

There is skepticism that Brogdon will be traded in a deal centered around either the Wizards' No. 10 pick or the Knicks' No. 11 selection in the upcoming draft.

The Wizards instead have been willing to discuss trades involving Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are open to exploring options surrounding Alec Burks, Evan Fournier, Nerlens Noel, Kemba Walker and Cam Reddish.

Fischer adds that the Knicks' first option is to acquire Jalen Brunson.

Bradley Beal Has Decided On Basketball Future; Will Reveal Later

Jun 19, 2022 11:15 AM

Bradley Beal is one of the top free agents available this offseason. Or maybe he's not really available. That part remains unclear.

While speaking at a community event, Beal said he has made up his mind about where he'll play on his next contract. However, Beal declined to share that information, because he felt it wasn't the appropriate time.

Beal admitted that he regularly gets recruited by other players to join their teams. When asked how many players have recruited him, he said, “A lot. A lot. You know I can’t give you names.”

Beal also shared he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from the left wrist surgery that kept him out of the end of last season. He recently returned to on-court work at the end of last week.
