The Washington Wizards traded forward Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers for guard Malcolm Brogdon, the No. 14 pick in the draft, and a 2029 pick. Avdija is a key addition to the Blazers' young core, as they aim to strengthen their roster.
Brogdon, on the other hand, faces uncertainty with the rebuilding Wizards following his single season in Portland. The No. 14 pick gives Washington more assets to develop their team going forward.
