NBA Trade Rumours: 3 players that could leave the Washington Wizards ahead of the trade deadline

#2 Trevor Ariza

Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards acquired Trevor Ariza from the Phoenix Suns back in December, however, despite adding Ariza to the roster, the Wizards have still struggled to make a serious playoff push. Due to this, NBC Sports Washington is reporting that Ariza could be on the move once more:

But it doesn’t mean teams won’t be calling, especially those looking at two-way perimeter players like Trevor Ariza. So who would be interested in Ariza? Wing-needy New Orleans faces pressure putting a winner around Anthony Davis. The Los Angeles Lakers, the favorites for Ariza before the Wizards swooped in, slipped in the Western Conference standings with LeBron James sidelined. Golden State, Philadelphia, Houston and Portland are logical fits.

During his time in Washington, Ariza has managed an impressive 15.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Despite this, Ariza may become a last minute option for a number of contenders such as the Lakers, and the Wizards are unlikely to be opposed to trading away a 33-year-old who is set to become a free agent in the summer.
