After a busy day of transactions, the Washington Wizards tromped the Brooklyn Nets for a third straight victory — their first three-game win streak of the season.
The big news of the day was general manager Will Dawkins sending Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a 2025 second round pick to the Milwaukee Bucks for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson and a 2028 first round pick swap. The team also dealt Jonas Valanciunas to the Sacramento Kings for Sidy Cissoko and two second round picks.
The return for Kuzma and Valanciunas is both disappointing and fine.
