what is it going to take for Ernie to go? I believe that if we had a better GM we could have had Brad Stevens as coach, but for some reason we held on the Wittman for soooo long.

I blame Ted for that one. After letting Flip Saunders go with practically two full years left on his contract (they canned him after a 2-15 start), the Wizards got cheap. Rather than hire a real coach in the summer and pay the salary of two top tier coaches, Ted kept Wittman.what is it going to take for Ernie to go?

Tim Frazier time everybody!!!
John's out two weeks.
What a great game for Beal, who’d been struggling badly in Wall’s absence. Exactly what he, and this team, needed after last night’s debacle against Utah.
Anyone know where I can get the white/Association Edition or navy/Statment Edition Nike Swingman Personalized Jerseys?
All I can find for the white jerseys are the FansEdge replicas and the red/Icon Edition Swingmans. Really looking for a white Porter jersey in a large but having absolutely no luck...
This team is ridiculously bi-polar. Here's the problem...they THINK they're elite, when in actuality, they're nothing more than average. The difference between elite teams and average is that elite teams can coast in the games vs. sub-.500 teams and come out with a convincing victory. Wizards get up for marquee matchups, but think they're good enough to skate by vs. bad teams. Well, when the gap between those teams and the Wizards ins't nearly as wide as they may think, it's a recipe for disaster.
I'm not liking what I'm seeing at all.
I agree with all of the above.Without looking at who we played I could guess bout 15 of our losses are against teams who have athleticism/agility in the front court. We just do not have it with Gortat, Mahinmi and Markieff. They can't contest a shot at the rim to save their lives because they're slow as hell. Any big man with a shred of leaping ability or effort kills us.
The Dream TradeSo the Wizards lost to another bad team, again, and this time, apparently, Scott Brooks was not having it. After the game, Brooks reportedly channeled Wizards fans everywhere in delivering a blistering post-game tirade to his underachieving squad.
When describing Brooks' post-game remarks to reporters, a subdued Bradley Beal said, "he's gonna make a change."
While that may sound promising in theory, as we all know, Scott Brooks is the coach - not the owner, not the general manager.
My question to you is this: what can he change?

The band-aid route that Grunfeld has used has clearly failed, we're the new Atlanta Hawks during Joe Johnson's era
Why even include the picks?The Dream Trade
Wizards receive: DeAndre Jordan, Lou Williams
Clippers receive: Ian Mahimi, Jason Smith, Jodie Meeks, Tim Frazier, Washington’s 2018 1st and 2nd round picks.
That's my point exactly: I couldn't think of any "change" available to Scott Brooks that will solve this problem. Perhaps he can, and he's being paid $35 million to figure it out.not a damn thing that will make the results any different. This team has been plagued with the same effort issues for two different coaches. It's not on Brooks anymore, it's the leadership and the players

Anyone else heard about the players-only team meeting gone wrong after the Hornets loss? John mentioned it in his postgame interview after Friday's win that some players didn't react well to being called out and he downplayed it like it wasn't a big deal, however it is somewhat alarming to me that he'd mention it after a solid win.
Fast forward to today and the Post had article on it and it was talked about on ESPN...could this be a bigger deal than previously thought?
