NBA Trades: 3 Wizards trade offers for Domantas Sabonis – Big man depth

Initially, the Washington Wizards could offer Rui Hachimura, Corey Kispert, Thomas Bryant, and a 2022 first-round pick in exchange for Domantas Sabonis.

Hachimura, a 23-year-old forward, is still a promising, versatile prospect that has room to grow on both ends of the floor. The former lottery pick out of Gonzaga would likely entice the Pacers as the most attractive asset in the package.

Kispert is a promising rookie that is an excellent shooter and multi-dimensional scorer. The 22-year-old was drafted 15th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, two selections after the Pacers took Chris Duarte with the 13th pick. Kispert was reportedly a serious option for Indiana in the draft if Duarte would have been off the board.

Bryant would mostly serve as a salary filler due to his $8.6 million expiring contract, but the Pacers could be interested in seeing how the former Indiana University star fits into the squad while acquiring his bird rights. He would be worth the look.

Needless to say, the first-round pick would certainly provide value to the Pacers as they drift into the rebuilding stage. Adding three young assets to the pick could easily be an intriguing package from the Wizards for Indiana to consider. The money would work in this scenario as well

This is certainly be a realistic deal that takes place before Thursday’s trade deadline.
