Washington players celebrate Danny Avdia's 23rd birthday/from Washington Wizards Twitter
The trade window in the NBA will close on February 8, and it is not impossible that Washington will make several changes.
In "Athletic" this evening (Wednesday) they reviewed the situation of the Wizards and also referred extensively to Danny Abedia, who in their estimation could fit Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas and Memphis.
"It's not that they want to trade him, but that he is one of the few youngsters on the team who can return an equivalent draft pick or a promising young player in return," it said.
"You also have to remember that Abedia and Bilal Koulibaly are competing against each other for playing minutes, and if Abedia passes, maybe Washington can cover another hole and create more playing minutes for Koulibaly. Still, aside from Jordan Paul, Abedia seems to be the five player with the lowest chances To be traded next week."
Paul, for the avoidance of doubt, is not really part of the Wizards' future plans, but his value is lower than ever due to his inflated contract ($123 million for four years).
Quite a few teams would be happy to have him.

"Even before the start of the season, teams appreciated Avdia, thanks to his size, his ability to guard outside players, his investment in defense and his untapped potential as a secondary playmaker", added in "Athletic".
"His value has undoubtedly grown in recent months, after he signed a relatively inexpensive contract of $55 million for four years. He also improved his ability outside the arc and his ability to finish."
