The Brooklyn Nets are trading Bojan Bogdanovic and Chris McCullough to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Andrew Nicholson and a first-round draft pick, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical:

Nets were determined to get a first-round pick for Bogdanovic, a restricted free agent. This likely gives Brooklyn two picks in the 20's.

The second pick in the 20s that the Nets will have is Boston’s, as the two teams will swap first-round picks this season. The Nets pick from the Celtics is currently projected to be the 26th overall pick, while the Wizards’ is projected to be 24th overall.
The Wizards will also send Marcus Thornton to Brooklyn:

This is a good trade for both teams. The Nets get a first-rounder, and the Wizards gain some much-needed depth.
