When discussing what NBA teams are doing to do, I think we as fans often overlook the motivation of the ownership. They're ultimately the deciders. Fans are always quick to say blow things up or trade away assets and rebuild, because it's just a glorified fantasy league for us. The thing about the Wiz is their owner will never voluntarily blow it up, imho, because he's the CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment which owns the Wizards and Washington Capitals and the WNBA team and the NBA G-League team and the regional sports TV/Streaming network and the Arena that all these teams play in. That's why the Wizards have almost always chosen to make short term moves rather than blow everything up and do a full rebuild, because he needs the team to be the centerpiece of his entire business portfolio .. this isn't some billionaire vanity side project hobby for him.
