As the Washington Wizards decided to unload the massive contract of Russell Westbrook, one of the main pieces that went to Washington was former Sixth Man of the Year winner in Montrezl Harrell. It seemed ironic for coach Wes Unseld Jr. to utilize three talented centers in Harrell, Daniel Gafford, and Thomas Bryant. When three of them got healthy, Unseld Jr. had a tough job of balancing it out and giving them ample time to get into their rhythm for every game.
It was inevitable for one of them to go and Harrell was the one who was garnering the highest value for organizations lacking in bigs like the Charlotte Hornets.
