The nba rules are stupid, the wizards had the 2nd worst record in the league

Yep I'm preparing them drafting 5 or 6. But also in crap draft would not want to burn luck and draft #1, heh.

Went to the Nats-O’s game on Wednesday. I don’t know what it is but Nats just aren’t connecting with fans.

Went to the Nats-O’s game on Wednesday. I don’t know what it is but Nats just aren’t connecting with fans.

They've got the 2nd biggest year-over-year increase in attendance in the majors, only behind the team that made a surprise World Series run last year. I kinda wish they weren't connecting this well with fans, because I really want the Lerners to sell the team. I dunno, maybe this makes them more attractive to buyers and helps get a deal done. Either way, I think they're pulling out the rebuild too early like the Caps did in '08. I don't think they have the core yet to be a real threat and the Braves still have too much of their window open.

Good points, I got a vibe the O’s new owner is going to solve the MASN situation.

Hard to tell a young team to suck more especially with the mbls crapshoot of a draft

In a weak draft class, can the Wizards find a diamond in the rough?

As team officials prepare for the draft combine, they're also making strides on their search for a head coach.

And in case you’re wondering, Wizards general manager Will Dawkins insists he doesn’t agree with the conventional wisdom that this year’s draft class lacks talent at the top. The Wizards and the Detroit Pistons own the best odds of winning the lottery by a few tenths of a percentage point over the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers.

“I think people hold their cards tight to their vests strategically, so I definitely don’t agree with the narrative,” Dawkins said in an interview with The Athletic. “I think people realize how good this draft is, and in any draft, I’d rather have the power of choice to make the decision than be left with other players on the board that I might not feel as good about. So for me and the Wizards, we’re ones that would always want the highest pick possible if you have an option to choose a player. As we’ve shown in last year’s draft, we don’t draft necessarily off mock drafts. We find the right person first, and if they connect with everything that we have going on in the long term, we’re going to do our best to go get that person.”

Draft lottery today at 3pm. Somehow we will end up with the 8th pick again lol
I dont know much about this draft class. It seems heavy in international players so its a shame the draft is a month before the London Olympics where you sometimes see these young guys stand out vs the pros.
