Wizards Will Not Trade Bradley Beal, John Wall, Otto Porter Jr., Will Make Playoff Push 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jan 31, 2019 7:40 pm

Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis called the idea of tanking "offensive" and said that the Wizards are focused on making the playoffs this year.


"You have to go to the players, the coach, the staff and say, 'Do we have enough to make the playoffs?' And to a person, I was told, 'Yes we do,'" said Leonsis.


Leonsis said the Wizards would not tank the season. 


"I was asked point blank, 'Are you going to tank? That's an offensive question. You can't go to your organization, to your players, to your coach and say, 'Let's plan to lose.'"


Leonsis added that the team will not trade Bradley Beal, John Wall, or Otto Porter Jr.

"You have to go to the players, the coach, the staff and say, 'Do we have enough to sneak in as an eighth seed and promptly lose in four games?' And to a person, I was told, 'Yes we do,'" said Leonsis.

I hate it when front office people say a bunch of words just to appease.

Makes 0 sense to trade players this season next season once the Free agents sort themselves out makes by far the most sense.. You will start to get better offers if ppl have cap space and only got one star or no stars..
