And his wife apparently wants to get into politics.
She’s also a local. Went to Roosevelt HS IIRC.
yeah, ok.
Even if you did get him, he's not god.
No one’s saying he is. But look at the executives the Bullets have had since their last Finals appareance and 50 win season in 1979. Ernie Grunfeld is the “most successful” and he was amongst the worst. Wes Unseld was a disaster.
Abe Polin treated the franchise as literally a family household.
Wizards need to do what it took the Magic years to figure out. That they’re going nowhere and need to blow it up
I get the feeling there delusional and believe their close to being good
They are delusional. But Beal wants to stay and Leonsis doesn’t want to trade him. Leonsis hasn’t put in the attention of focus on the Bullets that he’s put into the Capitals. Wall and Beal are the only great picks. No franchise or league icon. Every time there is one, they’re in the playoffs or high lotto. Leonsis doesn’t want 3-4 years of 20 win seasons.
I can see it happening but a team would need to give him the whole nba team operations and extreme say in it and back off. Plus he will need to be highest paid with car blanche over ther basketball side of things...which includes some ownership percentages.
if the Wizards are willing to do that I see it as very possible. But I think the raptors would offer him even more.
Bro.. The Wizards did the ownership stake to a new President of Basketball operations in 1999. Ted Leonsis who was minority owner lobbied Abe Polin to bring
to DC.
had part ownership in both Wizards and Capitals
Masai would get similar deal. He’d become the President of Monumental Basketball which is under Leonsis’ larger Monumental Sports and Entertainment.
He just won’t give it up by becoming a player...
