The deadline was originally set for Saturday, June 29, but the sides re-negotiated, giving Washington two weeks to find a trade partner.
If a suitable trade partner isn’t found, Washington is expected to guarantee Shamet’s $11 million salary for the 2024-25 season where they’d look to trade him at a later date.
After being dealt to Washington in the Bradley Beal trade last June, Shamet averaged 7.1 points per game on 33.8% 3pt.
