I truly believe they have Jordan Poole and that massive contract so there can be no thought of “tanking.” I think adding expensive talented players who are to immature to lead a team but could but won’t, is a great way to lose without backlash and get you what you want. You don’t have to worry about the culture Jordan want’s because you’ll dump him when you need to, and the fans can’t say you purposely lost games cuz well “we got up and comer Jordan Poole who helped golden state to a ring and Kyle Kuzma it just didn’t work”
Wizards got a winning mentality with Kuzma and Poole. What’s there to dislike?
