While Washington is still trying to solve the Corona problems that have plagued it, its fans are curious to know what will happen to the team after the bad season opener. Today (Wednesday), the Wizards journalist answered surfers’ questions and addressed, among other things, the possibility of a trail remaining in the team, what it means for the younger guys and how competitive the team can become.
Starts with competitiveness and steam. “Even if the Wizards sign Bill on a maximum contract,” reporter Albert Lee replied, “they will still be handcuffed in the 2022/23 season because Russell Westbrook will have one more year on the contract. And since that’s a player option, he’s 34, he’s likely to “He will seize the opportunity to earn $ 47 million with both hands. At the same time, Washington will be committed by about $ 100 million to other players.”
“In the following season (2023/24), the only players to be under contract are Roy Hachimura, Danny Abdia and Davis Bartans,” Lee continued. “Hachimura will probably be in the second year of his second contract in the league and could earn over $ 15 million. Abdia will be in the final year of his rookie contract if Washington exercises the option. But until then, competitiveness will depend heavily on Hachimura, Abdia and Bartens’ improvement.” .
Asked how significant Bryant’s injury was, journalist John Morrow replied: “I think Bryant’s role at this point will fall on Hachimura. I very much hope we see Abdia improve his efficiency following the injury. Players like them or like Neto and Bartens will have to “To score more when the Wizards return. Bartens and Neto have proved they can, but Abdia will have to be more active in the search for shots.”
