One of the defining traits of the Washington Wizards as an organization is holding onto players far longer than they should have. They held onto Gilbert Arenas, John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Otto Porter Jr long after each of them should have been moved. Now, the Kristaps Porzingis trade may signify a major change in that department.
Since he initially tore his ACL back in 2018, Porzingis has struggled to maintain any sort of consistency, both in his production on the floor and in his health. This caused his trade value to sharply decline during his time with the Dallas Mavericks.
