    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Washington Wizards were rumored to be interested in trading Anthony Davis for Jalen Duren, but The Athletic’s story was later updated with a retraction of that claim (subscription required). The premise centered on Duren’s contract standoff with Detroit, but the AD mention is just the beginning of the rumors if the future Hall of Famer sticks to his claims from Media Day. Davis is in the final guaranteed season of his contract. He is set to make $58.4 million and has a $62.7 million player o

    Wizards should still be skeptical after Deandre Ayton embraces his role (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Washington Wizards traded for Deandre Ayton to be their backup big man, but there should be skepticism about the former number one overall pick buying into the role.

He is a veteran on an expiring contract, so there are plenty of reasons to have doubts. To Ayton’s credit, he seemed excited about joining the Wizards. Washington gave up Jaden Har

    The Washington Wizards traded for Deandre Ayton this summer, but general manager Will Dawkins confirmed he will be the backup center at Thursday's press conference. Dawkins called Ayton “a starting-level center and probably the best backup in the league”. Ayton hasn’t come off the bench since the bubble in 2020. He has made 363 straight starts and been a reserve in just seven of his 470 career NBA games. This will be a different role for DA. The Lakers avoided it at all costs last season, and ge

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Washington Wizards traded two second-round draft picks and Jaden Hardy to get Deandre Ayton from the Los Angeles Lakers, but the big man’s role is uncertain. Ayton has started every game he’s played in since the beginning of the 2020-21 season.
