Kevin Broom and Ben Becker have been having Wizards season post-mortem calls annually for nearly 20 years now. They've even recorded some of them and turned them into podcasts. That's what this is: two long-time friends who know basketball, know the Wizards and know the NBA dissecting Washington's season, and the team's penchant for bad strategic thinking.

There was no outline or framework for the conversation, but they hit on most of the major themes from this past season, and took a look ahead and that team's likely fortunes next season and beyond. 

Somewhat surprisingly, there were notes of optimism about next season, primarily because in trading for Kristaps Porzingis, the Wizards have two players on the roster capable of being high-end starters. No, Porzingis and Bradley Beal are not among the game's elite players, but each could fall into a 1- or 2+ designation Kevin wrote about, here.
