Kristaps Porzingis can become a free agent after the 2023 season and it looks like the Washington Wizards don’t want that to happen.
According to The Athletic and Stadium’s Shams Charania, the Wizards have engaged in serious contract talks with the 27-year-old.
“Porzingis and the Wizards have been seriously discussing a new deal in which he would opt out of his $36 million player option for the 2023-24 season and sign a new long-term deal, according to sources.
“The Wizards can offer Porzingis a maximum of four years and $180 million if he opts out for next year and extends his deal. The deadline to reach such an agreement is in late June.”
The NBA world reacted to the news on social media.

Wizards, I believe, have Dean Oliver on staff as a coach. Guess they’re not asking him analytics advice. https://t.co/kZeQeCak4i
