Yes he needs to hire better people and he will eventually. But to just bitch about how Ted needs to sell is silly and childish. He isn't Donald sterling or Dan Snyder. Ted's done nothing to deserve a he needs to sell narrative.

In any case, it's irrelevant. The Wizards are not a rich man's plaything, the way e.g. the Clippers are.
The Wizards are owned by a multi-product sports-&-gambling entertainment company with an objective to grow. Within that company, the Washington Wizards franchise is a product which the company markets to its customers.
Apparently, business is good. Which means there is no problem to solve. Hence no need for a "solution." Things are fine. Nothing needs to change.
32 wins, followed by 25 wins (28+ win equivalent in shortened season), followed by 34 wins (38 win equivalent in 2d shortened season, followed 35 wins, followed by, say, 36 wins this year (if we get there) is just fine. Not a problem
&, if that's true, then you are right about Ted -- he doesn't need to sell, because for sure he's not an axxxole like Snyder or a bad dude like Sterling. He's a nice guy who is building a big sports-gambling entertainment business. & everything is going well.
Only... I'm not a "sports-gambling entertainment business fan." I'm a basketball fan.
So, I don't care that business is good at Monumental. I care that "my" team is lousy year upon year upon year.
Over the 13 seasons that Ted has had control of the team, from 2010-11 (when we drafted John Wall) through this seasons, we have averaged a record of 36-46.
