This is a trade I would love to see for the Bucks & this trade also makes sense for Washington. Here are the reasons each of these teams may complete a deal like this...

Wizards: According to Keith Smith, "Washington is motivated to clear out some of their logjam at point guard." With this trade, the Wizards get a solid 2-way wing that can be a solid veteran in the locker room while trading away one of their point guards. They also help out their rebuild by getting two second round picks (Blazers has a solid chance to be in the 30s next year)

Bucks: Jevon Carter may sign elsewhere on a bigger deal. The Bucks fill in the backup guard void. Wright can also play alongside Jrue Holiday to create an elite defensive backcourt. Connaughton has 3 more years on his contract, and it just doesn't seem to be worth it at this point as he is 30 years old and didn't shoot great this year. He was a good piece to our championship in 2021, but this trade does make sense financially. Losing the two second round picks does hurt, but the Bucks need to go all in right now.
