Watching the Wizards get knocked around night after night I mean I knew this was going to be a tough season but just want to know what to expect for the next few seasons. A few questions I have and was hoping to get deeper insight and opinions. When do you think we can become a competitive franchise again? 3 years? Longer? I think we’ve seen a lot of Wes Unseld Jr. now and Im not sold on his ability to coach and develop young players. Will there be a change at head coach? When? I almost feel after hearing some of Coulibaly’s comments regarding players not playing for each other and the attitude in the locker room that we are doing a disservice to our young and developing players.
There’s a lot to unpack here.
3 years of tanking is enough - as long as you hit on your 3 top picks. I have faith in this new management group because they are from OKC - who are the “best incubator of young talent in the L” to quote Sam Vecenie.
Drafting 1-2 rotation players with later picks is also important. We’ll miss on most of the 2nds…but need some rotation guys there.
You need to make some smart trades for good rotational pieces, and build around the edges. This is what’s gone wrong in Detroit.
We have to nail the Kuzma trade. This would help accelerate the process (see Magic : Vucevic deal). And yes, we should trade Kuz. This should be done by the summer.
I think Jones can get us a decent return.
Hot take - but I actually believe Poole off the bench as a microwave scorer can work. We’re stuck with him anyway, but that’s fine cause we won’t have cap players for a long time.
WUJ - i wouldn’t be surprised if management put their coach in this summer. I also wouldn’t be shocked if they keep him, similar to the Magic sticking with Mosley during the rebuild. Either way is probably fine 🤷♂️
