He had a vision down here..unfortunately the ownership took the side of the star player instead of someone who has experience working with a championship organization in GSW

That's because of 40 years of being a mom and pop entity.
DC is NOT a small market. It's been run like a small market for no reason.
Even Ted is waking up.
“We had several people on our wish list to interview, and when we told Michael these were some people we were talking to, he said, ‘I know them, they’re great, why don’t I see if we can bring them onto the team?’” Leonsis said. “That is not common in sports; when you hire a No. 1 person, they’re often reluctant to hire great people underneath them out of the gate because they’re insecure. Travis (Schlenk) worked in Golden State and was Michael in Atlanta, and Will (Dawkins) is an up-and-coming youn exec from a great organization. John Thompson III helped me out greatly and is being underutilized in the organization right now, and with Wes (Unseld Jr,), he comes from a program (Denver) that’s in the Finals. Overnight, I think we’ve created a front office that is really deep, but now, they have a lot of work to do. Michael is very thoughtful, but he has a lot of smart people around him, because today’s NBA is no longer a mom-and-pop business; there are big decisions with big dollars involved, putting money not just towards payroll but also towards infrastructure.”

Exactly. Who was the last good executive? Bob Ferry? And even though he built championship contending teams, he was building treadmill teams in the 80s and then was never held accountable till he quit himself!I don't care that Ted is so hands off with the team, but at least hire competent people. That's been the problem with the Capitals/Wizards organization for 50 years. They get cool with someone, hire them, and then can't fire them because they feel bad for them despite what they doing not working.
Execs leave the Wizards front office and tend not to get hired anywhere else for a reason.
The Wizards should be a destination team and its been ran the exact opposite. People wanna live here and in this area and there is a lot of money here, yet its ran like we are in Memphis.
Yeah he worked his way up dope, good to see black people get paid. No clue if these are good hires, but dope to seeI have hope.
@DoubleJ13 @Loose @SHO-NUFF Breh Will Dawkins started out as a grunt intern in SEATTLE at 21 years old?![]()
NBA brehs are these good hires?
OKC is usually good at drafting so im guessing the guy they got from them is good but what about the guys from the Clippers and Hawks
