For years, one of the most frustrating aspects of the Washington Wizards has been that the parts are greater than the sum of the team. In other words, as evidenced by their appeal to and success with other teams in the league, the Wizards have talented players, even if it doesn’t totally manifest while they were in Washington.
For example, there have been rumors the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets are looking to reunite with Phoenix Suns swingman and one-time Wizard Trevor Ariza. Additionally, after a championship season with the Golden State Warriors, legendary NBA personality Nick Young, who started his career in DC, was headed to the depleted Denver Nuggets.
