He's got no spot on the squad with 3 1st round picks from last and this year at guard, multiple young wings that can play the 2, plus expiring vets CJ McCollum and Marcus Smart. With the Wiz trying to showcase CJ and Smart for trade, he would be the 6th or 7th guard off the bench. Would he be a good soldier about it? On the other hand, Middleton's on/off might make Washington lose some games we could have tanked but I'm not terribly worried about that.
And, the Wiz have concentrated all the team's expirings to expire together to go after a big fish next year when they don't owe our 1st if they are ready to start playing competently.
So several reasons why not, though it's certainly reasonable value in another situation.
Rozier is expiring.
