The Wizards made a big trade on Tuesday, sending Jordan Poole and more to New Orleans for two expiring contracts - helping their cap flexibility in 2026. Take a listen as our hosts react to the deal, and we hear from David Aldridge, Neil Greenberg, and Chris Miles on various parts of what it means for the Wiz.
The Nationals selected Tre Johnson No. 6 overall, then traded down to get Will Riley No. 21 overall in the first round of the NBA Draft, and finished with a selection of Jamir Watkins at No. 43. Listen as our hosts discuss the picks, hear from Monumental’s Chris Miller and Chase Hughes about the haul, and get the skinny on Riley from his college coach, Brad Underwood, and Johnson from Wizards GM Will Dawkins!
What are the Commanders strengths and red flags heading into 2025? Will Terry McLaurin be in the fold, and could other stars be on the way in the future? And what’s up with RFK 2.0? All these topics and more are addressed in this week’s Best of Commanders!
