Four Washington Wizards who could be moved next

On Jan. 14, the Washington Wizards traded Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala to the Detroit Pistons for a package centered around Marvin Bagley III. It was the first, but almost certainly not the last move the Wizards will be making prior to the Feb. 8 trade deadline.

Plenty of the team's other veterans are also on the table, if not very likely to be traded. Here's how they stack up.

Kyle Kuzma (21.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 4.3 APG)

Kuzma will be Washington's biggest name on the market, as he's the team's leading scorer and the Wizards are actively shopping him. The asking price is high, at multiple first-round picks, but teams such as the Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested.

Trading Kuzma -- and his $90 million contract over the next four years -- would free up plenty of cap space for the Wizards, while also giving younger wings on the team such as Deni Avdija and Bilal Coulibaly more opportunity to shine.

Tyus Jones (12.6 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 6.0 APG)

Jones is the type of player who could be an intriguing piece for an aspiring title contender, with his extraordinary efficiency as a facilitator. His assist/turnover ratio of 7:1 not only leads the entire NBA, but is the highest mark any player has achieved since... himself, in 2019.

The Lakers are one team that's been linked to Jones, though don't be surprised if he has plenty of other suitors. He may ultimately be a role player, but the fact is that nobody else in the NBA can match him at his signature skill. This could make a potential return for Washington much greater than expected. He should be worth a first-round pick.

Daniel Gafford (10.5 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 2.1 BPG)

Gafford is a bit less likely than Kuzma or Jones in regards to whether or not he'll be moved, and there's plenty of reason for Washington to keep him. He's only 25, so there is certainly room for him to be part of the Wizards' rebuild, and in fact, one may even say he's the most important player to bridge the gap. Unlike the team's other young pieces, Gafford is established in his role, and it's a highly valuable one.

Though Gafford's offensive game is dependent on the players around him feeding him the ball, he is a gifted rim protector and the energy and hustle he brings to the court doesn't grow on trees. He has the ability to be an integral "glue guy" on a championship-winning team, and if Washington receives an offer it can't refuse, he may just become a fan favorite in some other city.

Landry Shamet (8.2 PPG, 1.2 RPG, 39.1% 3FG)

Every aspiring contender in the NBA needs shooting depth, and as a journeyman who doesn't seem to be a big part of Washington's future, Shamet could potentially find himself on the move again. He's shooting 39.1 percent on threes this year, which is just above his career average of 38.8.

Shamet probably won't be the centerpiece of a deal, but he could be a player Washington throws into a trade involving a bigger name such as Kuzma or Jones in order to earn a greater return.
