To say that the Washington Wizards have struggled throughout their existence would be a bit of an understatement.

The Golden State Warriors’ locker room issues as well as salary cap troubles meant that trading away Jordan Poole was inevitable.

The Washington Wizards made an intriguing move by signing former Sydney Kings star guard DJ Vasiljevic to an Exhibit 10 deal, giving him an opportunity to prove that his shooting and defense can translate to the NBA as much as his infamous work ethic.

It’s been a nice little offseason for Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma. He got a $102 million dollar payday. He somehow fended off Usher from serenading his girlfriend.
