The Wizards are finalizing a deal that will send guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Ish Smith to Denver in exchange for point guard Monte Morris and wing Will Barton.
The deal, which has yet to be finalized, checks off one of the team’s top priorities of the summer in landing Washington a solid floor general. Barton, a Baltimore native, should slot in nicely behind Bradley Beal in the depth chart should the Wizards’ franchise cornerstone re-sign with the team as expected in the coming days.Both Morris and Barton have experience with Coach Wes Unseld Jr.
from their days with the Nuggets, where Unseld served as the top assistant before joining the Wizards a year ago.Morris, 27, ticks off two more important boxes for Washington: He is a capable defender and is owed just $9.1 million this season and $9.8 million in 2023-24, important for a team with limited spending power entering free agency. The guard started 74 games for the Nuggets last season while Jamal Murray was sidelined with an injury and averaged 12.6 points and 4.4 assists per game.
