The Wizards are in no man’s land. They don’t have a young guy to build around and they don’t have a million picks and assets this forces them into a position. Trading Pool to OKC gives another pick to A get more young assets or B draft and develop. It’s going to be a rebuilding process but I think it’s worth it.
