Emiliano Carchia: Germany cuts Moritz Wagner, 13 players still in the roster
Anthony Davis officially a Laker
The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired forward Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, the draft rights to De’Andre Hunter, two first round picks, a first-round pick swap right and cash. As part of the trade, the Lakers also sent Isaac Bonga, Jemerrio Jones, Moritz Wagner and a future second round draft pick to the Wizards, who in return, sent cash consideration to the Pelicans.

On Thursday, Washington acquired three players (Moritz Wagner, Jemerrio Jones and Isaac Bonga) in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. By doing so, the Wizards lodged themselves into the Anthony Davis saga as the third team in the monumental trade between the New Orleans Pelicans and Lakers.
Last spring as Wagner went through the pre-draft process, he participated in a workout with the Wizards. At the time, Wagner was viewed as an intriguing stretch-five solution for Washington, who expressed a goal to shoot more threes. Though the Wizards, who possessed the 15th and 44th picks in the draft, could not claim him, the team now adds Wagner to its burgeoning collection of big men.
Albert Nahmad: Wizards will likely take Mo Wagner and Isaac Bonga into their $5.5M trade exception (leaving $2.0M remaining), while Jemerrio Jones will be taken into the minimum salary exception.
