Why Warriors Are Strong Trade Partners for Wizards

One thing that may cause frustration in life is a breakup. Everyone hates having a broken heart. When your heart is broken, you may find yourself in a vulnerable position. People tend to take advantage of you when that happens. Perhaps the reason for the breakup is that you and your partner were at two different stages in life. Your timelines didn’t match up. The Washington Wizards may be able to benefit from a situation like this.

The Warriors have one thing on their minds now: a championship. They are in a championship-or-bust situation. They have a high urgency to win as they made a deal to acquire former All-Star Jimmy Butler at the deadline this season.

The Wizards are in the complete opposite situation of the Warriors, as they are still going through their rebuild. These two teams are in two different phases of life. The Wizards may be able to benefit from this as they could make a blockbuster deal in the future.

As the Warriors continue to age, they could have some bad years ahead of them later down the road. This may occur once Steph Curry, Draymond Green and even Butler retire. At that time, the Wizards should be in a situation where they are ready to compete for a title. The roles will be reversed.

With that said, the Wizards could offer veteran players who can help the Warriors win now. Khris Middleton, Marcus Smart and Richaun Holmes would greatly lift the Warriors. Considering the Warriors don’t have many attractive pieces for the Wizards and their timeline, Washington could simply ask for a matching salary along with a future first-round pick from the Warriors. That pick should have high value as the Warriors will probably be a bad team bound for the lottery at that point. This could be a potential blockbuster trade the Wizards could make with the Warriors.
