The Washington Wizards are getting ready for next season. The team from the American capital achieved its great goal after re-signing Bradley Bill, and today (Sunday) David Aldridge from “Athletic” analyzed the team’s situation in detail.
“Bill goes on, and it’s good to see that he preferred to continue in Washington even at the cost of a role in a team that could have been a champion. He’s central to the city itself and very importantly, he stays because of more complex things than the check,” he wrote Aldridge. “Bill will be here as long as he wants. The question is what happens now.”
“Next season Washington will open with Monte Morris, Bradley Bill, Weil Barton or Corey Kispert, Kyle Kozma and Christopher Forzingis. The rest, like Dillon Wright, Johnny Davis, Roy Hachimura and Danny Abdia, are expected to step off the bench,” Aldridge added. Abdia has started in 40 of 136 games in his NBA career.
“The big question about Washington is Ted Leonis’ desire to pay a luxury tax. He’s done it once since becoming owner in 2010, and it’s unclear if he wants to do it again in the future. It could affect all contracts, from trying to add a third star to extending a rookie contract “. Anyway, great optimism in Washington for the upcoming season following Bill’s extra time extension.
