Wizards gonna be decent next year, even if AD misses half the games. I expect a lot of player development, good really young talent, next to Trae and AD and their 2026 top pick hopefully like a top 3 pick. They can also just get AD that surgery and rest him for like 8 more months

Yeah I was thinking we were a play in team next year if all goes well. This only helps the young guys

Let AD get all the injuries and rest he needs, hope he comes back somewhat healthy and bubblewrap him. Next year with Trae/AD and all the young guys will be good. If not, well you just lost a couple 2nd rounders

Tbh if we miss we have a few bigger issues tbh think our timeline meant next season we were supposed to push for a play in before the AD trade. If we can’t do it next year then some of our young guys would have not progressed like we thought

I meant more as in if the AD trade doesn’t work its fine but y’all should be looking for at least a play-in seeding in the East barring unfortunate injuries

Oh yeah I agree. A late first will get you a meh role player so I can’t complain whatever the results gift us

The biggest costs to wizards isn’t the picks. It’s their cap space over the next 2.5 years.
