During the wall prime years we drafted like dog ****. Traded picks for meh returns. Gortat was ok and Morris played his best ball here. But man some of the dumbest money was handed out by this team. Wall was ham stringed with the stupidest gm of all time. He really is better than people gave him credit for all while being a legit problem on the streets.

"Pulling this franchise to the playoffs" is not exactly an achievement. His best finish was a 5th seed in a woeful Eastern Conference. He never once won 50 games.
Yeah, it's arguable that he was a top 4-6 Wizard, but that's not saying much. The Wizards have the worst roster of All-Time Greats of any team in the league that has been around for 50+ years. There's no chance he is ahead of Wes, Hayes or Arenas. I think it's debatable whether he was better than Beal. Then there's guys like Gus Johnson and Walt Bellamy that I don't feel qualified to compare.
