>Leonsis “is willing to put forth both the resources and the patience to incrementally build a highly functional, adaptive organization, and if you have that the results almost take care of themselves,” Winger said.
Uh oh.

Didn’t reveal much. Hopefully he will trade Beal.

My brothers in christ please stop thinking these guys are going to tip their hand in interviews. Nothing he says publicly is going to be indicative of what his plans are.

“Part of that is because Winger will be recruiting and hiring executives in charge of each team, and the plan for the Wizards will be one crafted later by that future executive and Winger.
“We are going to search for a single person to run the Wizards,” he said.””
I found this most interesting. I wonder how much he’ll try to let the GM run the team?

As much as it pains me to say it, praising Beal at this juncture is the correct move. However, I’ve been watching a bunch of super stars during these playoffs and while some have had silly turnovers, none are consistently dribbling off their foot in crunch time. Big picture, he probably gets the mid-three under contract, gives them to Jan to go .550 or higher, and then starts the fire sale. Injuries not an excuse this time.
