Wizards Acquire Tre Mann, Send Cam Whitmore to Cavaliers

Overview

• On Thursday, Aug. 20, Washington received guard Tre Mann, a protected 2027 second-round pick from the Clippers, and cash from Cleveland in exchange for Cam Whitmore.
• The 2027 second-round pick carries layered protections and selection rules reported by The Athletic that will determine which team’s pick the Wizards ultimately receive.
• Tre Mann is a 25-year-old guard owed about $8 million for 2026-27 with an $8 million team option for 2027-28 and is expected to provide low-cost depth behind Washington’s backcourt.
• Cleveland is acquiring 22-year-old Cam Whitmore as a developmental bet despite his missed time last season for a right-shoulder medical issue that ended his campaign.
• The move raises Washington’s 2026-27 cap hit by roughly $2.5 million, opens a two-way roster spot, and sends Julian Reese to Denver where he will be waived and cannot immediately re-sign with the Wizards under the current CBA.
