The Washington Wizards were in talks with the New York Knicks about trading the No. 15 pick of the 2021 NBA Draft to New York, according to Ian Begley of SNY.
It’s unclear what the Wizards would get in return and which other players are involved in the deal. And it’s unclear if talks are still going on.
That said, it’s the first piece of news regarding the draft for the Wizards where they could be looking to trade their first round pick. Yes, I know. There’s a chance (albeit a small one) that Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook may no longer be Wizards this evening.
