Washington Wizards Rumors

The Wizards expect to see improvements in Coulibaly's play in the 2024-25 season, according to Joshua Robbins of The Athletic.

Wizards general manager Will Dawkins praised Sarr on Tuesday and said fans should be excited about what he might be able to accomplish in his rookie season. "I wouldn't put limitations on it, to be honest with you," Dawkins said about Sarr during an appearance on a Monumental Sports Network podcast. "He'll have his moments throughout the beginning of the year, both negative and positive. But the stuff he can do on the floor long-term, I think you guys will be pretty excited about."

Kuzma wants to represent Team USA in the 2028 Olympics, he stated in an interview with All-Star Magazine. "My number one goal is to play with Team USA in the Olympics, 100%, in four years," he said during a visit to Manila. "I had the opportunity to play for Team USA back in the 2019 FIBA World Cup before I broke my foot, but I think it's really cool that other players are going other places to play."

The Lakers are expected to target Valanciunas midway through the 2024-25 season if they decide to add a center via trade, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic. "There was some interest obviously and he was on LeBron's list so I think the Lakers will probably revisit that, but I don't think there's as much interest as a guy like a Wendell Carter or some of these other guys that have popped up," Buha said. "So I view it more as like a mid-to-low tier trade target for the Lakers."
