The Washington Wizards were one of the main teams involved in trades just hours before the 2022 NBA Trade Deadline. On Thursday, the Wizards completed trades with two different teams. They traded Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans for Dallas Mavericks’ center Kristaps Porzingis. Washington also acquired Vernon Carey Jr., Ish Smith, and a second-round pick in exchange for Montrezl Harrell.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is one of few Wizards players that came out of the trades unscathed. He provided the public with insight following the blockbuster trades, and mentioned that “agendas and egos” came into play.
