On Tuesday night, Zach Leonsis sat among other team representatives, hoping the Washington Wizards were lucky enough to keep their 2016 NBA Draft pick.
Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum held up cards with team logos printed on them and the Wizards saw their logo go up second. The camera panned up to Leonsis’ face and he couldn’t have looked more accepting.
Washington traded a top-9 protected first round pick to the Phoenix Suns right before the NBA Trade Deadline in exchange for Markieff Morris.
Prior to the Morris trade, all of Washington’s big men were in the latter portions of their careers.
