The Washington Wizards activity at the NBA trade deadline offered several hellos and multiple goodbyes.
With the blockbuster additions of Trae Young and Anthony Davis, Washington made their intentions about competing sooner rather than later crystal clear.
In the process, the Wizards moved on from multiple players, including the likes of Khris Middleton, who was arguably the team's biggest trade chip ahead of the deadline with his expiring cotract.
In fact, many thought Middleton would be the first former Wizard to hit the open market with his expiring deal and the likelihood that the Dallas Mavericks would opt to give the veteran forward the chance to compete as his career continues to unfold.
