Wizards Could Form Next Tim Duncan, David Robinson Duo

Ware isn’t just a traditional big. He brings mobility, rim protection, and has shown flashes of offensive potential. At his best, he runs the floor well, contests shots without fouling, and gives his team a vertical lob threat. For a Wizards team desperate for interior toughness and defensive identity, his fit is natural. What makes the idea even more intriguing is pairing Ware with Alex Sarr, Washington’s recent top pick and another agile, defensive-minded 7-footer.

Last season, we saw the Heat move Bam Adebayo to the power forward position to make room for Ware in the starting lineup. That is a similar move to the Wizards could make with Sarr, as they could form a modern-day version of the legendary Tim Duncan and David Robinson duo that anchored the San Antonio Spurs. While Ware and Sarr are still early in their development, their combined length, athleticism, and defensive instincts could set the foundation for a dominant frontcourt for years to come.

It’s unclear whether Miami would be open to moving Ware, but Washington should absolutely make the call. The Heat is a team known for development and maximizing trade value. Perhaps they’d be willing to part with Ware for the right package, especially if they’re in win-now mode. For the Wizards, a franchise in need of direction and identity, Ware could be a centerpiece of a new defensive-minded culture. If Washington is serious about turning the page, Kel’el Ware should be on their radar.
