Wizards-Wolves

Wizards trade: one of their 2026 Was/Chi/Phx 2nds
Wolves trade: Leonard Miller


Why for Washington? Get a player with an interesting skill set for his size that could compliment Sarr.

Why for Minnesota? Get a 2nd back for a player who likely doesn’t have a future with the team after the Beringer pick.

I'm still intrigued. If he's available, I'd want Utah to put forth an offer as well. Might get some competition there.

Miller has always seemed to be more of a project at 4 than a 5, so not sure I see a rush to move off him now just because they drafted a project 5 too.

I could see the Wolves doing it.

Presumptive Wolves roster (remember we only have 15 spots.)

PG: DDV/Dilly/Conley
SG: Ant//TSJ/DDV
SF: Jaden/Clark/Minott
PF: Randle/Naz/Minott
C: Gobert/JB/Garza

This takes away Jingles (waste of a roster spot,) NAW (hopefully get some assets in a sign and trade,) and Miller. We still have the tax payer MLE and pick 31. The above represents exactly 13 players, trading Miller for a pick and space makes sense. The alternative is trading Minott who a team not looking to win a chip this year might want to take a flyer on.

Garza won’t be on the team next year.

Worth consideration, at least. I would probably do it if it was conditioned as a "best of" second round draft pick.

I don't see Minott coming back. He might have started the sesson looking like a back end of the rotation guy but he certainly ended it as firmly stuck on the bench behind the TSJ and Clark. Probably time to move on.

Also everyone sure seems to love Joe in the locker room and that stuff matters over 82 games. If he wants to come back I'd sure do it. But that's totally up to him or if he's wants to do something else.

I’d pass if I was MIN, if the price is just a second (which is fair).

MIN might not be able to get both Naz Reid and Randle to re-sign, and they have no other bigs on the roster except Gobert and Jaden McDaniels when he plays the 4. Leonard Miller is still an athletic prospect player, but he has been on the G-League, then Wolves system, so he’s more ready to contribute than new-to-hoops prospect Beringer.

The Wolves will likely handle their need for an actual (“vet”) back up center in trade, so it’s quite likely that Miller just goes the way of most second rounders, and teams lose them for nothing. But I like the protection of having a back up center who knows the system if Gobert or “new vet center” get hurt. That scenario is worth protecting against, even if the team doesn’t recoup a negligible second round pick.
