Why am I watching this?

Dude, you're back in the driver's seat! It's not the final score, it's the GM out the door! And hey, the Wiz pulled defeat from the jaws of victory too, so there's that.

Beal said he wants to appear in all 82 games . Bc he's trying to establish himself as an ironman (back to back 82 game seasons and counting) and change his rep of being injury prone

I'm fine if Brad starts all remaining games and sits out the 4th q.

The good news is Tommy Sheppard understands that Brad's minutes need to be limited, and with Grunfeld gone he quickly implemented a plan to maximize our lottery odds. More competency from Wizards management in the past 72 hours than we've seen in the past 5 years.

That win against the Suns could really haunt us.

It took a lot of effort to lose to Chicago - playing without their top 5 players. It was like losing to a G League team. Not many NBA teams could manage that.

Great loss. ~Last 2 quarters or so was like watching a G league match. McRae could be a decent backup wing to the backup wing. Smart player than can score and I think his defense isnt as bad as you would think. Decent ball handling. Gets to the rim. If he can be kept for an absolute bargain basement price then I would have no problem having him on the team in that role to fill out the roster.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Agree on McRae. I didn't really have Jordan in the mix for next season...but I've been impressed but how well he's handled the responsibility of being the lead ballhandler for big chunks of the last 2-3 games. He's displayed some offensive versatility that I didn't know he had. I'd keep him around at the minimum.
