The Washington Wizards have been engaged on trade talks involving center Marcin Gortat, multiple sources told ESPN.
There have been several teams that have shown interest but the Wizards are looking to improve their team now while not taking on additional long-term money, sources said.
Washington has expressed interest in LA Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, ESPN's Zach Lowe reported. Gortat has one year and $13.5 million left on his contract. Jordan can opt to be a free agent this summer.
Despite losing John Wall to knee surgery for up to two months, the Wizards have won five straight games to move into fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
