Washington is training with coach Wes Ansald Jr. who has left the Corona Protocol (the Wizards' official website)
Washington is preparing for days full of rumors and reports of possible trades, ahead of a mini-revolution looming in the roster.
On Feb. 10, the trade window in the NBA will close, and by then, according to estimates, the Wizards are expected to make at least one deal to get rid of the excess staff surplus.
Coach Wes Ansald Jr., who left the Corona Protocol yesterday and managed to pass training ahead of tonight's game against Boston (10:30 p.m.), spoke openly about wanting to shorten the rotation, and mark the way out for some players.
"We will have to return to the rotation of nine-and-a-half players. Only then will the players be able to return to the rhythm," he explained.
This rotation includes the regular five-man squad as well as Roy Hachimura and Thomas Bryant, who have returned to the pitches after prolonged absences and are gradually getting into things.
“There is no other way to incorporate them other than to give them measured minutes, with some limitation,” Ansald Jr. explains.

The BulletsForever blog last night analyzed the trade candidates in Washington, D.C., and divided them into three groups: Monterz Harrell, Aron Holiday, Raul Neto and Davis Bartans were among the players on the shelf in terms of the Wizards, and will almost certainly be included in one trade or another; Kyle Kozma, Spencer Dinwiddie, Cantabius Caldwell Pop and Corey Kispert, who make up a group of actors who are not expected to trade except in an unusual scenario; And players who are expected to be part of a trade deal for a senior player in the league.
The third team is made up of Thomas Bryant, Roy Hachimura and Danny Abdia, who has returned to rotation in the last two games since being eliminated against Philadelphia, but his place in the team is still far from guaranteed. "In order to turn the Wizards into a playoff team, Tommy Shepherd will have to pick one from Roy Hachimura or Danny Abdia. One of them will stay, and the other will be traded to Thomas Bryant or Monterey Harrell."
Either way, rumors in Washington are spreading fast, even if they are less well-founded.
For example, Wizards fans posted a screenshot of Domantas Savonis's follow-up on Instagram, noting that he recently started following a number of the team's players - including Bradley Bill, Roy Hachimura and Abdia - an alleged "hint" of a trade starting to take shape on the Indiana star, And for the players who are not supposed to be included in it.
Over the weekend there was someone who stepped up to do and spread on Facebook a false story about a confrontation that allegedly took place between Abdia and Wizards coach Wes Ansald Jr., in front of the professional team and the rest of the players.
According to the false post circulated, "The confrontation between Abdia and Ansald Jr. has almost become physical, and since then Danny has become a candidate for trade."
Wizards reporter Quinton Mayo, to whom the rumors reached, was forced to repel them and wrote: "All the posts about Abdia are false. Pike News."
