Detroit Pistons v Washington Wizards

Despite the Wizards' struggles this season, Otto Porter Jr. has continued to perform well. The 25-year-old is currently averaging 12.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, and according to The Athletic, Porter's performances have caught the attention of the Utah Jazz:

As we head into trade deadline season, the Jazz continue to search for that dynamic third piece that up to this point has eluded them. According to sources, the Jazz have expressed interest in Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley and Wizards small forward Otto Porter Jr., both of whom have been put on the trade block by their respective teams.

While Porter Jr. is one of the best players on the Wizards roster, the small forward is currently signed to a huge contract that will see him earn $56 million over the next two seasons. Due to this, trading Porter Jr. is something that Washington are likely to consider, as the team already has huge contracts in place for both John Wall and Bradley Beal.
