Washington Wizards (24-34)
Entering this season, the Washington Wizards weren’t a popular pick in the East but there were some that considered them a potential dark horse because of their talented roster. At the NBA All-Star break, however, the Wizards have more questions than answers at this point.
In short, John Wall will miss the next 12 months after rupturing his Achilles tendon (with his supermax extension set to kick in next season) and the team traded Otto Porter Jr. at the trade deadline for essentially expiring contracts (Bobby Portis, Jabari Parker).
They are currently three games out of the final playoff spot in the East, but their future is as bleak as it gets. What will the team decide to do during the summer? Could they find a team willing to make a move for Wall? Will they elect to move – or at least listen to offers for – Bradley Beal?
There is so much that needs to be sorted out by the Wizards this summer, and none of those decisions will be easy. If one thing’s for sure though, it’s that this season has been pretty much a disaster.
