The Kevin Durant trade has been finalized, with the Phoenix Suns acquiring Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and the 10th overall pick from 2025, Khaman Maluach. Despite the opportunity to add another player, the Suns opted for future draft picks, passing on Cam Whitmore, who was later traded to the Washington Wizards. Whitmore's performance in the previous season showed promise, averaging 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists over 51 games, indicating his potential growth in a rebuilding Wizards team.

This trade signifies a pivotal moment for both franchises, as the Suns aim to solidify their roster for a championship run while the Wizards continue their rebuild with promising young talent like Whitmore.
