The Washington Wizards acquired 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, according to ESPN.
None of the picks they are shipping out are their own:
• 2026 first-rounder (via OKC)
• 2030 top-20 protected first-rounder (via GSW)
• 2026 second-rounder (via PHX)
• 2027 secone-rounder (via CHI)
• 2029 second-rounder (via HOU)
After acquiring Trae Young in January, the Wizards have made another move, this time to bolster their frontcourt alongside Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George.
Davis has missed the majority of the last two season’s due to injury. And he is under a rather hefty contract that runs through the 2026-27 season with a player option in 2027-28.
2027-28: $62.7 million (player option)
But Washington clearly liked the value in acquiring Davis to pair with its young core — especially Sarr, who’s emerged as one of the league’s premiere rim protectors at just 20 years old.
