Thank you so much for your questions. We received a large number of questions for both the Wizards and Mystics, so I will put them in separate posts. This post will be on the Wizards questions that we received via email. I’ll have another post for our Wizards questions in the comments and after, another post on the Mystics’ questions. I apologize if we can’t get to all these questions today.
Thank you!

Thank you for the questions in this mailbag. Answers to selected questions are below. We will have our next mailbag in mid-February. Thanks!
What should be the goals for the Wizards after a bad start, Thomas Bryant’s injury, postponed games, Russell Westbrook’s injury etc.? How do you turn the season into a positive? (WhyNotTyler)
John Morrow: It’s early enough in the season for the goal to remain making the playoffs. I personally think getting the 6 seed and avoiding the play-in games is a serious long shot but it’s still very early. The difference, hopefully, between this Wizards team and the previous ones that were aiming to contend is that we should not see trades to only prioritize making the playoffs.
