The Big Question: How long will it take to go from “deconstruction” to “reconstruction?”
Any mystery about the direction of the Wizards was gone after new team president Michael Winger and new general manager Will Dawkins spent their first months on the job jettisoning Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porziņġis in exchange for veterans on short-term contracts, future draft picks, 19-year-old French lottery ticket Bilal Coulibaly and erstwhile Warrior Jordan Poole.
The primary focus remains on dismantling and establishing that groundwork. In the upcoming season, the Wizards are prepared to part ways with their more experienced players in exchange for potential draft picks. This strategic move aims to allow the younger players to gain experience and grow, even if it means enduring some losses along the way.

However, by making calculated moves and focusing on developing their young talent, the Wizards hope to position themselves for future success. sentence in a different way.
