The summer of 2016 halted this team’s progress.
Coaching and a management change would be the only step forward.
A new GM doesn't even have to trade Wall, Beal and Otto... though with Otto he can opt out in 2 years but I can't imagine he'd give up that money. Otto and Beal are entering those prime years and trading one probably means you'll see their best in another city in a #SoWizards fashion. I say fukk that. I'd rather get new management and have them revamp the trash and net negatives...
The issue is the surrounding cast. Oubre needs to get his IQ up and be consistent, Satoransky needs to be aggressive but those are the only 2 rotation players we have who are 26 and under...
This is where you need to utilize the draft and take changes on guys who may be undrafted or can be had for cheap. The G League hasn't been used though they have that Robinson kid who played well but Brooks didn't play him till the last game. Having an affiliate next season will be a good thing regardless if the worst GM in the NBA is still there.
Imagine if the Wiz only had $100M in committed salary with no Meeks, Smith and Mahinmi

We'd have only the MLE and veteran minimum but nothing crippling.
