Washington Wizards center Jonas Valanciunas and guard Malcolm Brogdon are two of the top trade targets by multiple NBA teams. Many league insiders don’t think they will wear Wizards jerseys past the Feb. 6, 2025 deadline. And they were linked to a possible trade that ultimately didn’t materialize.
Last weekend, Sam Stein of the Stein Line reported that the Los Angeles Lakers were interested in acquiring both Valanciunas and Brogdon. However, the Lakers ended up acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets instead. Finney-Smith has also been linked to trade rumors in his own right.
