Chris Paul - Redirected to Golden State The Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Paul (groin) to the Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole, a protected 2030 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarow...

Impact Paul will head to the Warriors after being traded from the Suns to the Wizards on Sunday. The veteran point guard will have the opportunity to compete for a championship, as it was always unlikely he would stay in Washington. Paul averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals on 44.0/37.5/83.1 shooting splits across 59 games for Phoenix in 2022-23 but missed the final four contests of the playoffs with a groin injury. The 37-year-old still has the ability to orchestra an offense, but it remains to be seen if he will start alongside Stephen Curry in the backcourt or come off the bench for Golden State.

Jordan Poole - Heading to Washington Poole was traded from the Warriors to the Wizards on Thursday in exchange for Chris Paul (groin), Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact In addition to Poole, the Wizards will receive a protected first-rounder in 2030 and a second-rounder in 2027. Poole's role with the Warriors steadily increased over the past few seasons, and he averaged 20.4 points, 4.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game last season despite starting in just 47 of 82 appearances. The 24-year-old should have an opportunity to take on more of a leading role for the new-look Wizards, who have traded Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis in the days leading up to Thursday's draft.

Mike Muscala - Thrown into Porzingis deal The Celtics traded Muscala to the Wizards as part of a three-team deal including Kristaps Porzingis, Tyus Jones and Marcus Smart, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Though Jones was the main acquisition for Washington, Danilo Gallinari and Muscala were both shipped to Washington as part of the blockbuster deal. Per Bobby Marks of ESPN.com the Wizards exercised Muscala's $3.5 million team option and will likely be part of the rebuilding roster. Though Washington is almost certainly going to add frontcourt pieces through the draft and free agency, Muscala's current competition consists of Daniel Gafford and Taj Gibson at the center spot. Though it's unclear how large of a role, if any, Muscala will play with the Wizards, he has shown the ability to be impactful on rebuilding rosters in the past, posting at least eight points and three rebounds per game in 2020-21 and 2021-22 with the Thunder while shooting 37 percent and 42.9 percent from deep in each respective season.

Danilo Gallinari - Sent to Washington Gallinari was traded to the Wizards as part of a three-team trade surrounding Kristaps Porzingis, Marcus Smart and Tyus Jones. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact After opting into his player option last week, Gallinari is headed to Washington as part of the blockbuster trade. He is joined by Tyus Jones and Mike Muscala as newcomers to the Wizards roster. After missing the entire 2022-23 season due to a torn ACL in his left knee it's likely that Gallinari will make a full recovery and be good to go for the 2023-24 campaign. However, it's unclear where the 33-year-old will fit in amongst a Wizards team that likely won't return any of their top three scorers from last season and look to be headed toward a full rebuild.

Tyus Jones - Sent to Wizards in Porzingis deal Jones was traded to the Wizards on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal that lands Kristaps Porzingis in Boston and Marcus Smart in Memphis, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact The Celtics and Wizards were engaged in Porzingis talks throughout the day, and Memphis was eventually roped in as a third team to push the deal across the finish line. While the Grizzlies will get a rock-solid veteran guard in Smart, they'll send arguably the best backup point guard in the NBA to Washington, along with the No. 25 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and a 2024 first-rounder. Jones appeared in 80 games for the Grizzlies in 2022-23, making 22 starts and posting career highs in points (10.3), rebounds (2.5), assists (5.2) and made threes (1.5) per game. In Washington, Jones should have a chance to move into a full-time starting role, assuming the Wizards eventually part ways with Chris Paul. If that's the case, Jones will face competition from fellow-veterans Monte Morris and Delon Wright.
