Now is a great time for Wizards fans as excitement buzzes around D.C. I cannot wait to see what the Wizards have in store for the district, and I hope to see a...

...everyone around him, especially in the playoffs.

An important question that was posed to Dawkins was the question of contract extensions. Dawkins responded with its a conversation for "further down the road," and the focus right now is "getting [Trae Young and Anthony Davis] acclimated to...

...stated that he believed his injuries were "untimely." AD has not had any major surgeries and has been banged up quite a few times. He expects him to be reevaluated and undergo surgery, should he need it. The goal, Dawkins made clear, is to get AD healthy and ready to play as he amplifies...

...with a player similar to AD's skill in quite some time and this will be a good pairing to have. Dawkins also stated that AD will help slow the game down, especially in the 4th quarter, and both Young and AD will help facilitate points in the paint.

On the topic of AD's injuries, Dawkins...

...well with each other and that AD will not have to play center, a role that he has expressed he does not want to play. Both AD and Sarr's size will help them on the defensive and will make for a phenomenal front court, especially paired with Trae Young. Dawkins noted that Young has not played...

...neither have stepped foot onto the court in uniform yet. Dawkins says it is highly likely that both will suit up and step onto the court before the season ends to "build comradery" and see where the team stands for continuity and who to add next in June. Dawkins expects AD and Sarr to work...

Since adding both Trae Young and Anthony Davis to the Wizards roster,...

Dawkins sang his praises regarding the strides that Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, Bub Carrington, and Tre Johnson have all made over...

young players' development will dictate whether or not to take the next step forward in the rebuild. Dawkins went on to say that, in evaluating their young players, the front office holds a scouting meeting in June (when a new player is added) and makes their initial notes, again in September to...

…else to walk in free agency this summer. My final thoughts on this Wizards trade is that Will Dawkins manages to set the bar higher for himself every single time and manages to either match or exceed them time and time again. Contention is right around the corner and I cannot wait to see what…

…will make for one of the most unforgiving, defensive front-courts the league currently has to offer. Still pertaining to the topic of players received, I hope that the Wizards find a way to flip D’Lo as I believe the Wizards have their back-court all figured out at this point. I expect everyone…
February 5, 2026 at 4:02 PM
…but I honestly don’t believe that will be the case. Having the offense run through Sarr at the 5 and AD coming with help at the 4 means AD has a much lower chance of injury while still providing the elite rim protection he’s known for. This pair of AD and Sarr, who already leads the NBA in blocks,…
February 5, 2026 at 4:02 PM
…contention begins. AD will provide the mentorship to Sarr that was just removed with Bagley and will provide it ten-fold better than what Bagley could offer (no hate to him, that’s just objective). I’ve seen people say that Sarr is a 4 and that having AD means that’s where he’ll play…

…and hope he finds success in the NBA. In terms of what we got in return—phenomenal trade. Anthony Davis *is* an aging star who is very injury prone, but with a half season of rest plus a surgery and the possibility of sitting out the first few weeks of next season, he should be good to go when…

…much higher than Bub (who I am incredibly high on), but his ceiling lower than his, and the Wizards seem to value Bub similarly to how I do and him coming of the bench seems to be something the Wizards value rather highly as he was not included in rumors nor any trade. I see a bright future for AJ…

…not to mention him just entering his prime, however, those aspects made him a prime trade candidate and a valuable asset, so, it was the smartest move to make. I felt similarly about AJ Johnson—a young bench player who provides immediate impact as soon as he hits the court. I had his skill-floor…
February 5, 2026 at 4:02 PM
Now, in terms of players that we sent out. I am disappointed and saddened to see one of our veterans and back-up centers being included in the trade, and I, of course, am talking about Marvin Bagley. I loved Bagley on our team and thought he provided great leadership…

…and to think we were spending them in a trade was mind-blowing. However, I remembered that we have a stock pile of other teams’ FRPs, and I was relieved to find out a few minutes later that we had not used a single one of our own FRPs in the trade (2026 OKC and 2030 GSW).

…their G-League teams as a way to clear cap space. The Wizards have started to do this with their young pieces while maintaining the tank and the Lakers did it when LeBron was coming off of an injury. More teams need to utilize the G-League to give reps to their players coming off an injury.

…, rather, it is a sign that teams are realizing the value of the G-League. It is a place for players to get valuable reps in while coming off an injury and without worrying about having to push their bodies too hard. This was something I have been pushing for for a while as teams have been using…
