It's like the Caps are Ted's baby, much like the Bullets/Wizards were Abe Pollin's baby and it's like the Wizards are Ted's side hustle much like the Caps were Abe's side hustle. I'm happy that Ted will spend whereas Abe was a cheap b*stard, but we need someone in charge (a competent GM) who has a clue of what they're doing. I'm almost certain that we're going to pay Beal the max amount he can get so as to not let him walk away in free agency. Thing is, Beal is injury prone, but the team plays better with him, so go figure.

They shouldn't offer Beal a max contract. Why bid against yourself?

Give him the qualifying offer and let him test the market

Coach Randy Wittman’s future is uncertain because next season — the final year of his three-year contract — is only partially guaranteed, but President Ernie Grunfeld is under contract for next season, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation, which strongly suggests that he will return for his 14th season as the franchise’s general manger. It is not known when owner Ted Leonsis and Grunfeld agreed to the extension. :x

Grunfeld, who will turn 61 later this month, headed the New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks’ front offices before the late Abe Pollin hired him in June 2003. He is the NBA’s fifth longest-tenured chief executive. With five games remaining this season, the Wizards have posted a 440-605 record during Grunfeld’s tenure and advanced to the postseason in six of his campaigns, losing three times in the first round three times and three times in the second round.

Washington hasn’t advanced to the Eastern Conference finals since 1979. The four executives with longer tenures — Pat Riley, Mitch Kupchak, R.C. Buford, and Danny Ainge — have each won at least one championship — during their stints.

Read this on the train this morning.. I was like GOT DAMN!. I thought Gilbert and them squad got 50 wins before..


"Sunday’s loss to the Clippers ensured that the Wizards will finish in their historical homeland: bad enough to remain irrelevant, but good enough to avoid any immediate help. This will be the 15th time in 37 seasons Washington finishes with between 37 and 42 wins. No NBA team has spent more time in that flabby midsection of mediocrity. At least they’re first in something.

They’re last in something, too. Toronto this season hit 50 wins for the first time in franchise history. That means over those past 37 seasons, only one NBA franchise hasn’t reached the 50-win milestone".

"Sports fandom is about patience, but there are 36-year old adults who have never seen the Wizards finish first in a five-team division".

@frush11 post in January 2013:

The Warriors are just the Bullets(Wizards) West, trust, they'll get back to their ways soon. This is probably as good as it will ever get for them.

Spooky :wow:


Allah guided the Warriors to Islam.:banderas:
