Kelly Olynyk Traded to the San Antonio Spurs
The Washington Wizards and San Antonio Spurs are in the news. The Washington Wizards are trading Kelly Oenic to the San Antonio Spurs for Malikley Brandom Blake Winsley in a 2026 second round pick. The second round pick will be the least favorable of the selections from Dallas, Philadelphia, or Oklahoma City. The deal gives the Spurs another big man after the free agent signing of Luke Cornet as they look to add more depth behind superstar center Victor Womenyama. Alen shot a careerhigh 42% on three-pointers last season and has shot 41% on catch and shoot threes over the past three seasons. Olen also recorded shooting splits of 52% from the field, 40% from three, and 83% from the free throw line over the past three seasons. Brennham and Wesley, both 22 years old, give a rebuilding Wizards team two more young players to work with. And the team also acquires a second round pick in New York next year’s draft. Brennham was the selected with the 20th pick in the 2022 draft and Wesley was selected with the number 25 fifth pick in that draft in the NBA.
