The rebuilding Wizards have taken low-risk fliers on multiple recent first-round draft picks this offseason, which could prove to be wise gambles.

Malaki Branham's time with the San Antonio Spurs has ended after three seasons. The former Ohio State guard was traded to the Washington Wizards.

Ahead of the NBA draft, the New Orleans Pelicans sent Olynyk to the Wizards along with CJ McCollum and a future second-round pick. The Pelicans received Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey and the No. 40 pick in return.

Wizards’ rebuild is on track after big draft and trade wins. But they’re not done yet. The next free agency move could change everything.

Bagley is signing a one-year contract with the Washington Wizards, according to a Thursday afternoon report from Shams Charania of ESPN. The deal is noteworthy because the Wizards traded Bagley at the deadline on Feb. 6—sending him to the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team trade.

Tre Johnson, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins will bring “serious competitiveness” to the Wizards, GM Will Dawkins said.
