Wizards attempted to trade Johnny Davis, Patrick Baldwin

The Wizards unsuccessfully tried to trade Patrick Baldwin Jr. or Johnny Davis in recent days to create the needed roster room to retain Jared Butler. As first reported by frequent contributor Keith Smith, Washington proved unwilling, however, to attach draft capital to such a trade and was thus forced to waive Butler on Saturday when no trade option materialized.

“The past two years,” Davis told The Athletic on Sunday night, “a development coach from each year has been tinkering with my shot, messing with it. So I came back into this year, and I said, ‘Nobody is touching my jump shot. I’m just going to leave it as it is, leave it comfortable.’ And they’ve left me alone about it. So, it feels really good right now. I’ve been working on it the whole summer, so I’m just glad to see it pay off.” -via New York Times / October 7, 2024
