Good news: This is exactly the type of deal the Wiz should make. Take on another team's bad contracts to gain future assets. Build a stockpile.

This was also part of the 76ers' "process" but the Wiz didn't market their tank. https://t.co/Ct6aN9zFVy
I always knew @HousefromDC would root for Marvin Bagley some day!

The Wizards’ trade is the second of the #NBA season.

Washington essentially is taking future money (Bagley makes $12.5M next year) for a pair of Detroit second-rounders (25’ and 26’) 🏀
Isaiah Livers is worth a gamble on in the interim—Reminds me of the Shabazz Napier trade a… pic.twitter.com/NLIR2XOCxZ

You will have plenty of opportunity here.
Mike Muscala and Danilo Gallinari were acquired in the Kristaps Porzingis trade and have now been traded together to Detroit. The Wizards have essentially received this return for Porzingis:

Marvin Bagley III
Isaiah Livers
4 2nd round picks (2025, 2026, 2026 & 2027)
The Pistons traded multiple 2nds and a pair of rotation players to aquire Marvin Bagley, paid him $12mill per year, then had to use another pair of 2nd round picks to get off his contract 2 years later pic.twitter.com/vYVwAqKr8k

Michigan win the national title
Lions win a playoff game
Pistons get off Marvin Bagley’s contract
I have no idea why the hell Detroit is doing this, but it’s a savvy move for the Wizards. Take on some money to add a few flyer type players (including some legit size in Bagley), and some picks.

The goal here is to just keep adding stuff until one day they make the big one. https://t.co/rW7lWFq1u8
This means the Pistons are still operating as a slightly over-the-cap team for now. https://t.co/Fey1IGOyJS
