Washington Wizards TRADE Kelly Olynyk and Another Move is INEVITABLE | Bub and Tre Already Bonding



Washington Wizards TRADE Kelly Olynyk and Another Move is INEVITABLE | Bub and Tre Already Bonding

On today’s episode, Wizards fans are celebrating because they will not have to cheer for Kelly Oolen next season. The Wizards have traded him to the San Antonio Spurs. Let’s talk about it here on Lockdown Wizards. You are Locked On Wizards, your daily Washington Wizards podcast, part of the Locked On Network. Your team every day. DC family, this is Lockdown Wizards, where you’re part of our family. We thank you for making Lockdown Wizards your first listen every single day. We are free across all platforms alongside DC Sports content creating Savant and credential media member for the Washington Wizards, Abdul Aub. I’m Ben Stro and I cover things all of them DC Sports for 1067 the fan and the team 980. And today, just a couple of hours ago, we got the news per Shams that the Wizards were moving Kelly Olen to the San Antonio Spurs, the compensation in return, Malachi Brainham, Blake Wesley, and a 2026 second round pick, which will be the least favorable of Dallas, Philadelphia, or Oklahoma City. So essentially, that pick is probably ranging somewhere between 53 and 60 in next year’s draft. So, it’s not a situation where you’re getting someone very, very early in the second round where you get the opportunity to steal someone that maybe just falls out of the first round. Uh, it’s not quite that situation, but the Wizards do add two more former first round picks to the roster here with both of the two players here, guards that were taken in the draft in 2022, 20th pick overall, and 25th respectively. And now the Wizards have a situation on their hands because it seems almost inevitable, Abdullah, that another move is probably coming because the Wizards currently have 18 contracted right now. Obviously, the maximum 15. You can put three on the two-way contracts. Uh Tristan Vuvich still is not signed by this team. Rashawn Holmes only has $250,000 guaranteed at this point and he’s on an expiring deal. So, he seems like a candidate that either will get traded by this Wizards team or just wave to free up additional space. The Wizards also add an extra $13 million to use here through exemptions uh that are created through trading Kelly Olen here. So, there are a lot of moving pieces. It’s kind of a very confusing trade uh just at first glance because there are a lot of things that are going on kind of like below the surface here with this move. And it’s not just about the two players coming to Washington here in Brainham and and Wesley. It’s kind of more about the future implications with another move probably pending here from Will Dawkins. One thing for sure, I’m I’m assuming well enough that Will Dawkins heard the noise from Wizards fans saying that they don’t want Kelly Olen to play for their favorite team and I think he knew the history between Wizards fans and Kelly Oolen. And shout out to the anti- Kelly fan club that are Wizards fans. You got what you wanted. Kelly Olen is not going to play a game as a Wizard, but thanks for stopping by. Kelly Lynn again was part of that deal with the Pelicans trading Jordan Pool and now he’s off to San Antonio and I love the compensation that you get. Will Dawkins has shown clearly from the past trade with Cam Whitmore that he’s willing to use second round picks. A lot of people out there claim that second round picks are useless in today’s NBA. But when you have a really good GM and Will Dawkins, he knows what he’s doing and he’s going to use a second round picks to get young talent here on this roster. And I love it. I think adding two former first round picks, just see what works and then maybe if it doesn’t work out here in Washington, they could get tripped off again. You use them. It’s all about Will Dawkins, all these chess moves. And it’s so surprising, Ben, that Cory Kisser still on this roster. I mean, out of all freaking guys, this man is still the last one standing from the Tommy Shepard regime. And I still think his days in DC are numbered. But again, Will Dawkins really, really busy. First the Kent Whitmore trade or first the Jordan pool trade, the Kent Whitmore trade, and now this. There’s more moves to come. Yeah, Kiss I think is someone that will be on the move at some point sooner rather than later. Marcus Smart seems like the easiest option here for Washington also to move before the season because his contract is uh the friendliest at the moment for the Wizards to try to move on from compared to a guy like CJ McCullum or Chris Middleton. I think those given the contract situation will be playing here for the Wizards at least for the time being. Maybe you could see those guys moved around the deadline. The Wizards are also kind of freeing up more space here. Now they’ll have like $35 million uh to work with, which might give them an opportunity if they are able to trade one of the pieces they do have in place to take on another bad contract here and get some more assets in return. That might be the plan that we see here from Will Dawkins. It’s just it’s very tough to tell. Uh, and just, you know, kind of looking at the way things are structured right now, the updated Wizards roster, the only forward center position people the Wizards have are Sar, Rashawn Holmes, and Tristan Vuchic, who is now a restricted free agent. We have not heard anything regarding whether the Wizards are going to bring him back. I’m hoping they do. Uh but at this point maybe if you wave some of the players you have here like if these two guys uh in Brainham and Wesley that come over if those guys are waved as a salary dump thing and then you’re just doing the move for the compensation essentially uh maybe that allows them an opportunity to clear some space and sign Buchvich to a full contract here because as it stands right now the Wizards on two-way contracts would have Kadary Richmond Martin and then Jir Watkins also on the two-way contract right now. now the Wizards second round pick. So, I just not I’m not sure where the Wizards really go from this point because the Wizards have 17 standard contracts right now and then Vuch still put in the mix. So, there’s going to have to be another move because some guys are going to have to go. Kiss seems like someone that’d be an easy choice. smart to get traded eventually as well, but uh they’ll free up a pretty substantial amount of as of money as well if they are able to wave Rashawn Holmes or try to find a trade partner for him because he’s partially guaranteed $250,000 of his 13 and a4 million dollar salary for the 2025 season. So, if he does get waved, this would give Washington uh some flexibility here with this log jam that they have. Maybe they could use that money to find a different backup center for a little bit cheaper they would add to this roster because they really have nobody. You you’d figure before this move was made maybe just slots in as one of your backup centers and he’ll give you some minutes off the bench. Uh but now that he’s gone and you replace him with two more guards, you just have to feel like another move is coming here and eventually the Wizards probably do end up uh with somebody else as a backup center. I believe I think right now it’s the big the elephant in the room. The Wizards need a big man. You brought up the big rotation of Sar Holmes and Vuvich. I think that could stunt stars development if you go into the season with that lineup for the bigs. I understand you don’t want to win as many games because you want that draft pick and you’re having that glaring hole for obvious reasons, but if you’re will Dawkins, I think you’re not done yet. You have to go out there and get that backup bit. I don’t know who’s available right now, Ben, because all the moves been happening around the NBA. So, we’ll have to see. But I think definitely you need to address this right before the season starts. So I just admittedly I don’t know a lot about the two players coming over here in Malachi Brainham and Blake Wesley. I know that they are two competitive young guards that just haven’t really shown a whole lot in San San Antonio so far. So, I don’t know if it’s a situation where maybe Dawkins eyes potential in any of these players or it is what I brought up earlier where, you know, it seems like you make this move and maybe you have one or two of these guys get waved and you clear up space that way. Uh, I’m not sure because you did see that with the Oklahoma City Thunder when Dylan Jones was traded to the Wizards. Uh, the Wizards sent over Kobby Jones and the Thunder immediately released him and that was purely a move because of salary dumping for Oklahoma City. So, I don’t know if the Wizards are falling into that kind of situation right here, but it’s interesting just because you add more young players to the mix here. Essentially, the Wizards have just overhauled everything and said, “We’re going to stockpile as many young players at similar positions that can play the two or the three uh here in DC and just see how many we can get and try to figure out what works and what doesn’t, what assets we can create uh through moving some of these pieces as well. I mean, because now that’s 11 former first round draft picks was a drawster from the past four years. Now, I believe that’s that’s the number there. So, it’s just it’s crazy. It it really is crazy. And this obviously is a move that comes here first, probably with a bigger picture move happening shortly. I’m not sure if it’s going to be one of these things where we see it happen either tomorrow or in the coming days or next week, but something else is going to happen. I’m pretty sure of that. And obviously they have to make moves because of the roster size anyway. So something will happen. I think so. And hopefully it doesn’t happen right when we’re recording because it would be a headache to make a video right after this. But I expect a big man to trade soon. You have you have a lot of players over the limit of 15. So we’ll have to see. And again, I understand the direction of Will Dawkins here. You want to get as many guys as you can and young guys you can figure out the direction of this team and who is going to be those leaders, who who’s the future superstar here in Washington. You have so many options here, but at the end of the day, we can’t lose lose battle in the paint. We can’t get out rebounded by so much every night. You can’t lose the paint battle, and that’s just something we’ll have to see improvement of come the season. Well said. Well said. One thing not trade related that we have to talk about today is that we got the opportunity to hear from some of our guys, part of the DC family. Trey Johnson, Bob Carrington, and the head coach of the summer league, JJ Outlaw, all spoke to the media today following the final practice of pre-S summer league training camp. We got some pretty good reactions to some of the things we heard today. We got that next here on Lockdown Wizards. Ever wish managing your money felt easier? With Monarch money, it can.

So, the team heads to Vegas tomorrow with the summer league kicking off on Friday, 900 PM Eastern time. Washington takes on Phoenix to begin the Vegas summer league. We are steamed up for that. If you missed our video from yesterday, we talked about how loaded this roster looks and the likes of Bub Carrington and Trey Johnson included with in a lot of discourse related to that video. Those two spoke to the media today and it’s been pretty evident so far, Abdullah, that Bub and Trey, the future backcourt here in DC potentially for the time being, they’ve already seem to develop quite the connection thus far on a personal level. Yeah, you love to see it. This is the future here in Washington. a guy and Trey Johnson who we’re surprised that we landed at the sixth pick and Bub Carrington a guy who played all 82 games last year game winner off the glass for the win last regular season game a rookie that just put up record after record after every game I remember seeing notifications every night as a Wizards fan saying oh Bub did this bub did that so seeing those guys get along it’s very very important this team is very very young and I think they’re going to be really really fun to watch this upcoming year just because they’re just so young and that chemistry is going to be there and there’s going to be a lot of hiccups going to be a lot of bumps, but at the end of the day, seeing guys like Trey Johnson and Bub Carrington getting along right before the summer league start, even the regular season is just a lot of optimism going into year three of this rebuild. One thing we talked a lot about uh throughout the process of when the Wizards selected Trey Johnson and everything we heard from his high school coach, his college coach, and then Will Dawkins, who spoke to the media after, one thing they cited was the competitiveness of Johnson and how hard he works and how much he competes uh with his teammates around him. And one thing we’ve already seen this off season, uh, allegedly in practice, shooting competitions have taken place between Bob and Trey at almost every single practice sessions. And it’s gotten to the point where they argue constantly about who actually won because those two are just competing with one another on a day in dayout basis, uh, working on their craft. And I love to hear things like that because one, uh, this kind of validates a lot of the things that we heard about Trey Johnson about the way he competes even with the people around him trying to make himself and others better. And we’re already seeing maybe some resemblance of leadership here for Bub Carrington that, you know, he’s kind of taken Johnson under his wing as these two become the future back court here in DC. and they’ve already started to try to build this connection, this rapport with one another as they work on their shot, which will be such a, you know, pivotal part of the game, especially for Johnson here early on. And that last time we had a back court with such chemistry was John Wall and Bradley Beal. And that was great. I know we didn’t win go to the Eastern Conference finals or anything, but it was such a fun couple years when they were both complimenting each other really, really well. and they were in that conversation of the top five back courts in the NBA. And I think Trey Johnson, Bub Carrington definitely have the potential to be as good as them or maybe even better than them considering the fact that both of them can be able to shoot it from three. I want to see Bub Carrington be more aggressive. I want to see Trey Johnson make create his own shot because one thing for sure is Jordan Pool is on this team anymore and he was the one guy who can create his own shot and now it’s time for the young guys to step up. Can Bob Bub Carrington take make his own shot or go to the rim aggressively in games? Can Trey Johnson make his own shot off the dribble? We’ll have to see come year one, but it’s great to see already that these guys are hitting you off. Another thing that came up in the media session today was the departure of Jordan Pool and his role as a mentor with this organization. And although Pool departed and, you know, was not in DC long, just two lone seasons after coming over in what was a wild trade between Washington and Phoenix, Chris Paul. So now add Chris Paul uh or add Kelly Olen to the list that Chris Paul is honored for people that were technically Wizards for I guess a cup of coffee but never actually played here. Uh but regardless of the point comes over and becomes a mentor for this organization. Put his locker next to Bob Carrington. So our guy Chase Hughes was able to ask Bub Carrington on Jordan’s pool Jordan Pool’s impact as a mentor. He said it’s been crazy not seeing him in the locker room every day and that Jordan Pool was a hell of a guy, not just a player. Really good dude off the court. He was at his house a lot, including right before he got traded. Those two were watching the NBA finals together. So, uh, you could see maybe some of the emotional impact that’s created with the departure of Jordan Pool. But Bub Carrington of course understanding that this is a business and I think he’s definitely happy that he’s going to have an expanded role here in DC with Jordan Pool making his way out of town. Uh but that’s just something interesting that I noticed today from uh Chase’s tweets. I think the parts of Jordan Pool just opens up opportunities for Bub Carrington. Obviously I love JP 13. I wanted him to be a wizard, but then the NBA is a business. Now it’s B Carrington’s time to shine. All those shots that Jordan Pool take is going to give the opportunities to Buck Carrington for him to open up, take those mid-range shots, those pull-up threes in transition, take it to the rim. I want to see him go to the free throw line more. So, this opens up a lot of avenues and it’s a whole different regime here in Washington. It’s not about Jordan Pool anymore. It’s about Bob Carrington, Trey Johnson, Alexar, Keshan George. The list goes on and on how many young guys you have on this team. You just added Kam Whim who just turned 21. The future really, really is bright. And this team, again, I’ll keep saying it’s going to be fun to watch. There’s gonna be a lot of inefficiency, but one thing for sure is we’ll definitely be watching every every quarter of every game. Yeah, that’s exactly right. And if you keep seeing me look to my left over here, uh the Washington Nationals are on playing their first game without Dave Martinez and Mike Rizzo uh in control of the organization. So, uh just a little bit interested. But one thing that we can actually talk about with the news that’s happened to the baseball team in this town, Abdul, is given how both these teams are technically in these rebuilds. Um, it’s got to the point where the Wizards actually have a brighter outlook right now than the Washington Nationals, which you would, if you would have said that to me two years ago, I probably would have told you that you’re crazy because we had a front office that was not proven yet here in Washington right when Will Dawkins got here. started to make the moves instantly uh to write the ship here in Washington, get themselves into the right direction. Uh but now with the Nationals who have just completely fallen apart, I think the Wizards have proven themselves with a, you know, a much more clear direction at least. You know, you kind of have some sort of idea of where the organization is going. So, I think that’s just kind of interesting to note here to tie it locally with what’s happening with the baseball team here. Yeah, it’s right now it’s it’s tough being an Nats fan. I mean, the move of firing Rizzo Martinez, I think it was inevitable at some point. We talked about it not too long ago. So, for the Wizards, front office is looking bright. It’s crazy to even think about a year ago or two years ago from today, we were thinking that the Wizards were the worst team out of all four DC sports teams. But obviously, the Commanders are number one now with JD5. So, the Wizards are on the come up. And just give it a couple more years, I think this team is going to be really, really competitive. So, let let me put this into perspective here. If the Wizards got to a point where they were a perennial contender year in year out and let’s say they have the same kind of success the Commanders did last year and let’s say both teams, you know, hopefully for our sake continue to have sustained success at the same time, do you think there would still be a wide gap between popularity amongst commanders and Wizards or do you think the Wizards would be able to close a lot of that gap because of how popular basketball is in this area? I think I think the NFL is just too big for the NBA. Ben, I I I love the NBA. I love basketball. And come lot too long ago, they were talking about how low the ratings were. And obviously Luka Don gets traded the Lakers. So you you think of what that means. But I think the NFL is just too much. They’re in their own league. I think no matter how good the Wizards will be, the Commanders, especially how they’re playing with a a superstar quarterback and Jayen Daniels, they’re always going to be the talk of the town. But if the Wizards are going to be being are going to be good, you definitely will see the the people coming back and hopping onto the bandwagon and you’ll see home games being filled with fans and you won’t see other away players getting MVP chance at Capital One Arena because I’m tired of that. Oh god. Well, think about it this way. Um, when we had John Wall in his prime here and he was the superstar of this town, the then Washington Redskins were just they were so bad that it was really easy for DC to kind of ride that wave with John Wall and the Wizards at that point uh in those couple of pretty decent years that we had at the time. So, it’d be interesting to see if the both if both of them had sustained success at the same time, how people would feel. I know a lot of people who are loyalists of our podcast and we appreciate all of you. I’d assume that you guys are probably bigger basketball fans than football fans, which you know is is completely understandable and and that’s exactly what a lot of people do believe in this town. Even though football is, you know, king around the country, around the world, uh, basketball in the DMV is just such an instrumental part of people’s lives. And I could see why, you know, people are so invested in this basketball team and have stuck with the Wizards throughout being in the mud for so many years and are sticking with it uh throughout the rebuild. So, in the comments, if you are someone that is a all DC sports fan, uh whether you’re supporting the Wizards and the Commanders or other teams, uh let us know how you would rate your fandom for each team. Just because I’m, you know, I’m curious. I want to learn a little bit more about our listeners and see if even though you are tuned in to Lockdown Wizards every day, if it’s not even your top team in town or or whatever. Yeah. I want to know if you’re a Wizards fan and obviously not a Commander fan, what football team do you support? Honestly, name the four major teams of baseball, hockey, football, and basketball. That’s one thing anytime I meet someone new, I always ask them because it’s always interesting to see how people say, “Oh, I I grew up on this team because X and X brought me into it.” And it’s like, “I’m a fan of this team and that team.” And so, it’s always something interesting to definitely point out. So, let us know in the comment section. I So, I knew a dude in high school and he told me he was a Warriors fan. And I was like, “Okay.” Okay. So, but for reference, when I was in high school, this is when the Warriors were a dynasty with KD and he’s from the DC area. He told me he was like a Nationals fan and a Commander fan, I guess, which crazy. And he goes, “I like the Wizards, but I don’t support them.” I was like, “What do you what do you mean by that? What do you mean you don’t want to be like?” He goes, “Cuz they suck.” I was like, “Dude, get out of here.” See, I hate people like that. The the big four bandwagons, I think football has to be Cowboys. Basketball at the time was the Warriors, but I think nowadays people say the Lakers. Baseball Lakers. You think baseball it’s got to be the Dodgers or Dodgers or the Yankees? And then hockey. That one’s a little tougher. Hockeys, I don’t think. All right. Well, you sticking with basketball here as we move forward throughout the show. FanDuel released its projections for all NBA teams regular season win totals. Where do they have the Wizards? We’ll tell you next here on Locked on Wizards, our good friends at FanDuel. Uh remember to download the FanDuel app and you could get some bonus bets for yourself if your first $5 bet wins. But FanDuel dropped the NBA win totals for the regular season for each and every single team. And the Washington Wizards, as you would expect, are at the bottom. FanDuel has the win total set at 19 and a half. So that’s a game and a half more than where the Wizards finished last year at 18 and 64. And for me, I’ll start off right now by saying I would lean over and cautiously because we know that this Wizards team is not in the interest of winning a lot of basketball games this year with that top eight protected pick, but with the development of the years of the players that you have here in year number two and and also some of the other young talented pieces such as Cam Whitmore uh that you’ve brought into the mix here throughout the off season. I would be hopeful that the Wizards are able to keep that top eight protected pick and will do whatever it takes to make sure that happens, but I do think they win over 20 games. I do feel like there’s going to be enough development from top to bottom that they win over that mark. But let us know how you guys feel below. Abdullah, what say you? Oh, I’m smashing the over, Ben. At 20 games with this young squad, I get it. They’re not going to be that good in the Eastern Conference. a lot of teams that are better than them, but they’re going to be a young team. They’re going to have all that energy. I think they will be better defensively just because again, I think more effort’s going to be emphasized this offseason. I’m hoping. I think rebounding wise, we’re still going to get killed off the glass, but I think there will be some games where either Trey Johnson’s going to be really hot or above Carrington or Alex Sar goes off like he did last year against the Nuggets in Denver and they ended up ultimately winning that game with Jordan Pool as game winner from deep. We’ll come we’ll see. It’s going to be again really really interesting to see how Ken Whitmore fits in this rotation. Justin Champagne a guy who I loved and when he really friendly contra that you get and we’ll see if CJ McCullum is done. CJ McCullum can give you 20 a night. So Chris Militin is also a guy who can help you down the stretch and be that mentor. So a lot of things will come into play but I think all that being said 20 games I think it’s it’s feasible. I don’t I don’t want to say like we’re gonna be that bad to that point we’re going to lose 15 games is a slight possibility but I think year three of this rebuild we’ll see improvement in a lot of categories and I think one of those are going to be the win category. Also think about it this way this Wizards team won 18 games last year and during that season they had two 16game losing streaks. Like that’s insane. Y if they if they go on a 16g game losing streak this year, I will crash out. That is unacceptable. They they cannot lose 16 games in a row. Can’t be that team. Like even though you you you do not want them uh to be winning a ton of games, if you are in in the business of keeping that draft pick, you do not want to see your team lose 16 games in a row. That is that’s killing your development. That is that is terrible going forward. That cannot happen again. So, they lost 16 games in a row twice last season and they still won 18 games. So, as long as that doesn’t happen, I think they win at least 20 games. I think what I’ve been pretty adamant about throughout this off season was that they win around 24 to 27 games. That’s my mark right now. I’ll set my overunder at 24 and a half right now. Yeah, I think 23 24 overunder is 23 and a half is reasonable. I think it would be an a great season if you win 30. If you hit that 30 mark, that’s fabulous. Obviously, we don’t want to because again, you want to get that draft pick for next year because there’s so much talent in that 2026 draft class. But we’ll we’ll see. This is again, I I love this roster where it is right now. We see the direction. We see the vision from Will Dawkins. And one thing I want to emphasize, I just want every game to be competitive. I don’t want to see last year where getting blown out by 60 by Indiana at home. You just don’t want to see that. And again, you you mentioned it, two 16g game losing streaks. That is inexcusable. I want to see every night you’re diving on the on the floor for loose balls, hustling for every rebound, getting every 50/50 ball, being able to have a off night shooting. It happens, but being aggressive offensively, get I want to see Bob Carrington be more aggressive and get to the free throw line. I want to see Alex Sar put his back to the basket and make a move. So, we’ll come we’ll see. I I think it’s going to be an exciting season and it’s not going to be that much winning, but it’ll be fun to say the least. Well said. Well, I guess the first season for the Wizards starts in just about two days. NBA summer league kicks off on Friday. We are looking forward to seeing all of the young talent here in DC, get another opportunity to play on the floor all at the same time. That’s it for today here on Lockdown Wizards.

  1. Olynyk is 34 and was never running with 20 year olds nor was he particularly interested in being a Washington Wizard.

  2. Good morning guys !! 🏀. Will Dawkins is playing masterful chess. Blake Wesley will replace Marcus Smart as the 2nd or 3rd PG. Wesley is 6'5", super quick, gets to the rim, and can shoot. Good vision by Dawkins !! 🏀

  3. I ❤ the Trade both players can play…WE NEED BOL BOL ASAP🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

  4. I ❤ having a bunch of really Talent young guys an LET THEM FIGHT IT OUT…GET THE OLD PLAYERS OUT THERE WAY PLS🤷‍♂️🙏🏽🚨🚨🚨🚨

  5. I don’t get the hate for Olynyk. I thought Sarr could get a little grimy and tough and learn from a 12 year vet; that’s non athletic. He’s still hated after EIGHT years! That’s the toughness we needed. Why ain’t we hatin’ on Smart? He was on that same team. Anyway he’s gone. But geeesh fans. Let it go!!

  6. 1) Commanders
    2) Nats
    3) Caps
    4) Wiz

    HOWEVER, im a DC sports fanatic. I follow all the teams and watch most if not all the games. I attend multiple games for each team each year (except the caps, I get to go to maybe one a year).

    Either way, love the pod, I learn a bunch from you two!

  7. Wizards
    Mystics
    Capitals
    Nationals
    Cowboys (commanders the last team to let a black man play for them. I’ll never forget that. Plus my other raised me a cowboy fan i had no choice for real.)

  8. im from new orleans but ima pelicans and wizards fan . first nba jersey was a washington jersey

  9. Wesley had one good finish against the Nuggets two seasons ago that kept Denver from getting a top seed…

  10. OK, I have two trade ideas; Wizards trade Kispert & Holmes to Miami for Rozier & 26' 2nd Rd pick.
    Or, Wizards trade Kispert to Portland for Time Lord & 27' 2nd Rd pick.
    Both trades work financially.

  11. As a spurs fan. You’re going to like Wesley. He gives 110% every minute he gets. Malaki… well he’s probably the worst defender itl and his offense is very VERY streaky.

  12. Ranking DMV teams;
    1. Washington Redskins/Commanders
    2. Washington Mystics ( 🔥🔥🔥 )
    3. Maryland Terps (Women BB)
    4. Washington Caps & Nats
    5. DMV High School BB & Football
