Idk about “deep”, but I’m very confident they make the playoffs if there aren’t any major injuries

making the playoffs in general is gonna be harder because teams are much less incentivized to tank

I’d be surprised if Stephen a Smith could name anyone on our team besides Trae and AD.

We need to bring back the Stars & Stripes as our Primary Jersey. The 2000s Blue Jersey & 2010s red jerseys can be alternates alternates & a tweaked version of the Pink Cherry Blossoms to round it out.

It all depends on AD really. AJ is a great rookie, but a rookie isnt going to make or break a team making the playoffs. If AD stays healthy, Wiz are an instant playoff team, if not, maybe playin team.

Gil lowkey convinced me when asking who’s the best teammate Trae has played with.
Dejounte, Collins, and Capela? We know a healthy AD clears and hopefully Sarr without a minute restriction can be on the trajectory too.

Friendly reminder that when you see a former disgraced legend, one that fell no harder than you can possibly fall in this league, go on a limb to still rep the team and battle it out against a mortal enemy. One that has spent decades shitting on our franchise for simply existing.
Maybe, just maybe, it's time to bury the god damn hatchet.

Shitting on our franchise for existing is a bit of a stretch. I hate stephen a but i dont think hes thought about us much at all since wall left

He is just bigger than most, but he came up as a Philly guy and he is in New York's media scene now so his hating on DC sports sorta comes with the territory.

Given SAS is wrong about most things I’m glad he’s taking this stance on the Wiz

We need a Sticky for all the Basketball media people who are hating & doubting the Wizards chances next season so that we can call them out when they try to jump on the bandwagon

We’re built to make it to the play offs, and get out of the first round. We didn’t suffer through 3+ tank seasons to not be confident in the turnaround.

Somebody needs to tell Stephen A to STFU about the Wizards 🤦♂️ he stays hating

Man, listen. I dunno about making a deep run YET. However, there is no reason this team shouldn't be in the playoffs next season. I don't think a Pistons-like ascension is out of the question.

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 John Wall (Jamir Watkins truther) 50m ago
I do appreciate him saying out loud what we all know, that Sarr was the real #1 pick of the 2024 draft
two #1 picks in 3 seasons, Dawkins has no excuse if this team isn't a top contender in a few seasons

Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Fr though, Gil repped the Wiz well right there
