With Russell Westbrook retiring, let's take a look at his most iconic moments with the Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards have one roster spot left, and they can fill it with a trade instead of free agency.

With no contract extension for Anthony Davis on the table, trade rumors are about to start spreading once again.

With one roster spot left, the Washington Wizards are looking to fill it with DeMar DeRozan.

The Washington Wizards still have one roster spot available, but who is really going to get it?

The Washington Wizards have a firm grasp on the biggest free agency decision this summer, and it is all thanks to star big man Anthony Davis.

While the Washington Wizards may be done making trades, there are some contracts that are easy to shed incase someone approaches them with a deal.

The Washington Wizards need a great bench if they want to have success, and Will Riley is their wild card to make that happen.

Trae Young is having to adapt his game with the Washington Wizards, but it may actually work out more than people think.

While opposing fans may hate this skill by AJ Dybantsa, the Washington Wizards will gladly welcome it.
