didnt really affect the final outcome, but why in the **** is Austin Rivers on the floor in a closeout situation while Otto is on the bench?

Guys just need to stay together and keep fighting.  It’s a long season.  We need to do better on defense, and it’s my job to find five guys that will do that.  *error* *Coach-bot restarting*  Guys just need to stay together and keep fighting.

George McPhee has to be thinking how did I get fired by Ted when Grunfeld still has a job

Yeah it's embarassing. McPhee made his mistakes but ultimately he did manage to build rosters that were championship quality and then went and built another team up to make the SCF on an expansion team. Grunfeld can't get past the 2nd round. Its actually kind of a joke. And then HE GETS EXTENDED. SECRETLY. Ugh...

We know the roster is better than this, we’ve seen it already, so the question is what internal issues are causing this?  Do the players hate each other?  If so, who hates who?  Have they tuned out Brooks?  All of the above?  It’s something and it’s Ernie’s job to fix this.  The local press isn’t going to tell us, and the national media doesn’t care enough to find out.

We may be walking another Bingo Mitchell like event with Ernie.  He should be scared, they are healthy and losing at a place that won't make playoffs.  One more desperate move that's so dumb and backfires so bad, Ted has no choice but to fire him.

He doesn't know what to do, we need someone that does.

Do you really think he's going to be kept if this team bottoms out and just tanks like Philly did for years? Come on. 

 

The Capitals literally fired Adam Oates and cleaned house (firing GMGM too) after missing the playoffs. What's to say this whole house isn't cleaned if the Wizards finish with 20 wins this year?

Wouldn't be the first time. They criminally underachieved for what....2 of the last 3 years right? 

 

That and hes been making moves that have directly killed us for years. Why would this be any different?

"It is your fault, John. It is your fault that we're in this mess. You! It's on you. I'm sick of it." 

Danny said this on 106.7... It's a damn shame. Wall has been getting killed this week and it's not really his fault. But since he's the star player and his umper is still trash, it's just easy for people to blame him.

Grunfeld got a new goat to scape

 

Wall is far from blameless, probably playing the worst ball of his career, but he is not the fundamental issue with the team. 

 

On a different note, 43mil combined for Otto & Mahninmi this year and it got us all of 8pts against a bottom feeder

My first trade as GM:

 

Wiz get Brandon Knight, Chriss trade exemption and two firsts from Rockets. 

 

Timberwolves get Wall and two firsts from Rockets

 

Rockets: Butler 

 

 

Seriously, Wiz need to trade everyone ASAP 

Why would the Wolves do that? Derrick Rose is actually playing better than Wall?

Yeah, as far as the team bottoming-out, I do feel like Wall and Brooks actually are responsible for that. But, there's 15 years of Ernie messing up to their month.

 

The dude has a 44% win percentage right now as GM. How can anyone look past this and go straight to Wall and Brooks without throwing him in there as well is laughable.

The amount of money sunk into this dumpster fire is astounding really.  Being one of the worst teams in the league is one thing, but to be that with this level of financial investment is astounding.  Both on the floor, and off.  

Its amazing how different Leonsis is with the Caps and the Wiz. Just about everything the Caps do from an organizational standpoint is spot on and run at a gold standard level. The Wiz are a league joke, nay sports joke, on all fronts.

Wall is way better than Rose and will be  over the next 5 years. Not sure who would really want Wall but unloading his contract should be a priority.

They need to bottom out.  That is the only way we get structural changes.

 

What do you think is happening now?

 

This Wiz team is shaping up to be the NBA version of the  2018 Orioles.  A team that thought they could compete, acted like they could compete, told everyone they could compete and then just **** the bed as much as they possibly could.  And didn't just **** the bed, they rolled around in the bed after and smeared it all over themselves like they were trying to apply camouflage and go hunting or something.
