The bottom of the Eastern Conference is always up for grabs at the end of the season. The Washington Wizards are not far back from the 6th seed and have been making up some ground as of late.
Rumors have surfaced that Washington may shop Otto Porter more aggressively than people anticipated. I wouldn’t blame the Wizards. His contract is hefty and he’s been playing great as of late, which makes his value increase. And frankly, he’s the best trade piece that the team has right now if Bradley Beal is off the table.
