I've thought that for years.

Here is a script idea. Remember Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill in Money Ball?. My movie would involve a consensus "RealGM" information system making real-time decisions that would assist the coach/manager.

The RealGM would make draft and trade strongly worded suggestions. Over the years, this consensus of our board has been a million times better than the decisions the Wizards have made.

I feel like the late Jimmy The Greek on this. There's no way I would have drafted Johnny Davis or Corey Kispert.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

This thread is too early to make

We have no idea how good Bub is going to be. We have no idea what we're going to do with that 2029 1st rounder from Portland.

So we have to wait until 2029 to assess the performance of Winger and Dawkins? I don't think I've ever heard of a front office having that long a leash before.

How bout we wait til after the 2026 draft. Reasonable? They said they want to tear it down to the foundation. Before you pour a foundation you have to dig a hole. The plan is to build from the draft. We’ve had 2 drafts. With no franchise player apparent in either draft. They got players with upside. Still looking for that all star to build around.

They’ve been transparent it’s going to hurt for a bit. But there’s no point rushing it.

This years draft gives us a hint. Offseason development from these rooks and Bilal. Play the 25-26 season intent on that top 8 pick. Test out this years rook. Trade dead weight. Grow our own. Add one more bunch of talent in 2026. With ours or the PHX pick. After that every consequence is based on their picks and choices. Not Tommy trading John Wall for Westbrook. Or overpaying and giving Beal his no trade clause.

That’ll be 6 seasons. Considering how loyal Ted is, that’s nothing.

Plus they are destroying and rebuilding. Sheppard and Grunfeld left a mess and ZERO extra assets!!

These guys been on the job for what? 19 months?!

I think we will have a good pulse after next season and the 2026 offseason.

You may never be able to evaluate Dawkins and Winger's performance here. They transcend space and time.

At least they didn't trade away a 25 year old Luka for AD, Christie and 1 first lol even if that works out for them god that looks bad right now.
