3 Potential Trade Destinations for Wizards Forward Corey Kispert Before 2025 NBA Draft
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Wizards Forward Corey Kispert Before 2025 NBA Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Wizards are expected to shop Corey Kispert around in trade talks this offseason, potentially putting the former Gonzaga star on a new NBA team after four seasons in DC. Advertisement Kispert signed a four-year, $54 million extension recently, which includes a team option in 2028-29, a contract that makes him a desirable asset to contending teams while Washington continues to live in rebuilding mode. Kispert played 61 games for the Wizards last year before a thumb injury ended his season prematurely in mid-March. The 6'7 wing averaged 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists while shooting 57.4% on two pointers and 36.4% from beyond the arc in 26.4 minutes per game. Kispert's size, off-ball movement, outside shooting, and ability to attack closeouts and score at the rim make him a very valuable scoring wing in the modern NBA, and while he has defensive limitations there is little doubt he will attract multiple suitors on the market. With the NBA draft just nine days away, we take a look at three teams that could make a push for Kispert this offseason: Advertisement Philadelphia 76ers Philadelphia was among the worst three point shooting teams in the NBA last year, and with power forward Guerschon Yabusele hitting free agency and Paul George looking completely lost, it would not be a surprise at all to see the 76ers get involved in a trade for Kispert. If Washington is looking to be aggressive in moving up in the draft, sending Kispert and the No. 6 pick to Philadelphia for No. 3 overall could work well for both sides. It gives the Wizards a chance to swing for a superstar in either Ace Bailey or VJ Edgecombe - who might not be available at No. 6 - while giving Philadelphia a proven outside shooter and keeping them in position to land a quality piece from this draft class. Memphis Grizzlies Memphis just made a massive move by trading Desmond Bane to Orlando for a package that included four first round picks. The Grizzlies don't appear to be rebuilding, however, and Kispert is the kind of player they could target to help replenish some of the production lost in the Bane trade. Advertisement While it has not happened yet, a Zag-for-Zag trade very much makes sense here if the Grizzlies are willing to move Brandon Clarke to help clear out their crowded frontcourt, while Washington gets a veteran rim-running big to pair with Alex Sarr and Richaun Holmes. Milwaukee Bucks Milwaukee will be without superstar guard Damian Lillard next season, and could lose shooting guard Gary Trent Jr to free agency as well. The Bucks are in a unique spot with Giannis Antetokounmpo, but if they do want to keep building around him and contending in the east, adding a proven shooter and scorer in Kispert makes a ton of sense. A deal involving Pat Connaughton (to salary match) and young big Tyler Smith could work for both sides, possibly with draft pick compensation going to Washington as well.
