The Washington Wizards are reportedly willing to trade some 'surprising names' in an effort to move up to the No. 2 pick. The Washington Wizards may be planning something big. Right before the 2025
NBA
Draft, the team has started making trade offers.
They already have the 6th and 18th picks, but that may not be enough for them. Now, a report says they want to move up—way up. Who they're after might surprise you.
Washington Wizards aim for
Dylan Harper
or
Jeremiah Fears

They've made several offers to teams in the top five. In these talks, they even offered to trade some 'surprising names' from their roster.
That's what league sources told Grant Afseth.
Right now, the Wizards have pick No. 6 and pick No. 18. But they want more.
Why? They are targeting two of the best young guards in the draft—Dylan Harper and Jeremiah Fears.
Dylan Harper is a 6'5" guard known for his smart plays and calm game. He is from Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey and is ranked as a top prospect. Most experts think he will be picked in the top three.
Jeremiah Fears is another top guard.

He's known for his quick moves and strong defense. Scouts like his energy and court vision.
So far, no team has accepted the Washington Wizards' trade offers. But talks are still going.
Dylan Harper and Jeremiah Fears could reshape the Washington Wizards' future
Dylan Harper and Jeremiah Fears are two of the biggest names in the 2025 NBA Draft. Dylan is the son of Ron Harper, a five-time NBA champion. He's calm on the court, makes smart passes, and scores when it matters. If the Washington Wizards get him, he could become the face of their team.
Jeremiah Fears is smaller but very fast. He can shoot from deep and guard top players. He grew up in Illinois and quickly became a top name in the draft class.
The NBA Draft will happen on June 26, in Brooklyn, New York.
If the Washington Wizards want either of these players, they'll need to act fast. And they may need to give up a big name to get what they want.
Fans are waiting to see what will happen next.

Fans were waiting for answers, and they finally got one from a key voice. But what Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman revealed after the season ended has left fans wondering what's coming next and who won't be coming back. Stan Bowman says the Oilers won't bring back the same team after Stanley Cup heartbreak On Tuesday, June 18, 2025, at the team's season-end press conference in Edmonton, General Manager Stan Bowman openly said the team would not return with the same group of players next season. Bowman was joined by head coach Kris Knoblauch as they addressed reporters after the team's second straight Stanley Cup loss. RAW | Kris Knoblauch, Stan Bowman 06.20.25 'We're not going to bring the same group back,' Bowman said. 'How many is tough to say right now… so that work will play out over the next 10 days.' This means that the Oilers are now planning some serious offseason moves. The team is dealing with several players set to become free agents, including Corey Perry, Jeff Skinner, Connor Brown, and Kasperi Kapanen — all of whom are forwards. The Oilers also have one defenseman and one major restricted free agent, Evan Bouchard, whose contract needs to be sorted out. Bowman also assured fans that while some changes will happen, the team will not be completely rebuilt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Write Better, Work Smarter With This Desktop App Grammarly Install Now Undo 'We're not going to have nine or ten new players,' he said.

NHL Trade Rumors: Canucks eye Marco Rossi in bold trade offer including 2025 top-15 pick
The Vancouver Canucks are aggressively pursuing Minnesota Wild forward Marco Ross (Imagn Images) The Vancouver Canucks are making aggressive moves ahead of the NHL Draft, and their latest target is Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi. According to insider Patrick Johnston of The Vancouver Province, the Canucks have already proposed a trade package that includes their top-15 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, along with an unnamed player, in exchange for the 23-year-old center. Vancouver joins race for Wild's rising star as Marco Rossi seeks major extension this offseason Marco Rossi, who is entering restricted free agency, is reportedly aiming for a deal in the same ballpark as teammate Matt Boldy's $49 million contract. That expectation has pushed the Wild to explore trade options rather than risk a prolonged negotiation with one of their top young talents. Vancouver isn't the only team in the mix for Rossi. The Calgary Flames, Philadelphia Flyers, and Nashville Predators are also said to be monitoring the situation closely. With the young forward nearing the end of his three-year entry-level contract, and the Wild's cap space tightening, the trade buzz around Rossi is heating up quickly. Originally drafted ninth overall in 2020, Rossi has developed into a consistent contributor for Minnesota. In four seasons with the Wild, he has tallied 101 points, including 45 goals and 56 assists, across 185 games. This postseason, he notched three points (two goals and one assist) in six games before Minnesota was eliminated by the Vegas Golden Knights in the first round. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Brock Boeser 's trade value rising as Mitch Marner 's future impacts right-wing market In a related storyline, Canucks winger Brock Boeser is also generating significant attention as the right-wing market tightens. 'Boeser's future could be linked to Mitch Marner,' said insider Rick Dhaliwal. 'Marner's the prize catch on the free agent market. The right wing market after Marner and Boeser is very small.' Dhaliwal added that teams like Ottawa, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Boston are closely watching Boeser's situation. The 28-year-old had a productive 2024-25 season, finishing with 25 goals and 25 assists in 75 games.
