Here’s my take on the situation — the Washington Wizards are really bad and they want to act like they’re doing something to fix it.
On Thursday, the Washington Wizards fired head coach Wes Unseld Jr.
Oh, my bad. President of the Wizards, Michael Winger, said that they decided to move Unseld out of a coaching position because of how non-competitive the team was. But they promise they really, really, really valued what he did for the Wizards.
“He’ll take some some time and decide the extent of the role that he would like with us,” Winger said.
Please give me a moment while I roll my eyes so hard that it hurts.

They owe Unseld the rest of his deal, so they’ll offer him some sort of quiet advisory role that he doesn’t have to take in order to get paid. If they wanted him to be the coach of the Wizards, he still would be. If this was a promotion, it would have been framed as such.
Instead, they fired the coach of a bad roster in between back-to-back games, prior to the trade deadline.
I can’t help but ask, did the Wizards front office not know this team was bad?
Winger said the team was going to be patient this year because they expected to be back to playing “hypercompetitive basketball.
