The Wizards will send Troy Brown and Moritz Wagner to the Bulls in exchange for Daniel Gafford and Chandler Hutchison, tweets ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Washington will create a $2.1M trade exception in the deal, tweets Bobby Marks of ESPN.
Brown, 21, was the 15th pick in the 2018 draft, but he has appeared in just 21 games this year, averaging 4.3 PPG. Brown is under contract for $5.2M next season and will be extension-eligible for 2022-23. Wagner, 23, who has a $2.2M expiring contract, was a part-time starter in Washington, averaging 7.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 25 games.
Gafford, a second-year big man, has a $1.8M non-guaranteed salary for next season. He’s averaging 4.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 31 games. Hutchison, also a first-round pick in 2018, has appeared in just seven games this year. He will make $4M next season and will also be eligible for an extension in 2022-23.
