0:00.0	And away we go. Episode 1,182 of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025. It is the day of the Washington Wizards 2025-2020s regular season opener.
0:32.6	I said, this is the day of the Washington Wizards, 2025, 26, regular season opener.
0:42.0	The damn Washington Wizards!
0:45.1	Thank you.
0:46.5	ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, our Wizards, they are at the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday night at 8.
0:52.3	This is season number three of our Wizards being a rebuilding
0:56.1	and tanking team. This is a key season in the tank. The 2026 NBA draft is the final draft in which
1:03.8	the Wizards could convey a first round pick as part of the John Wall Russell Westbrook trade of December 2020. Yeah, that thing still is not
1:15.4	complete. The Wizards on December 2nd, 2020 traded wall and a protected first round pick to the
1:22.5	Houston Rockets for Westbrook. The reported terms of the protected first round pick,
1:34.7	2023 lottery protected, 2024 top 12 protected, 2025 top 10 protected,

1:52.1	Bottom line, it would behoove our wizards this season to tank and tank hard in order to not lose that first round pick in this perceived to be loaded
2:02.7	2026 NBA draft. This is how you should be thinking if you're a Wizards fan like me.
2:09.1	In-depth preview of the Wizards 2025, 2026 regular season coming up later in the show,
2:14.5	as I'll speak with Wizards Insider Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network.
2:18.6	Hello and welcome to this Wednesday installment of the Al-Galdi podcast.
2:22.2	On this episode of the podcast, have not one but two guests for you.
2:25.3	Next segment, high-level analysis of The Mess.
2:28.3	That is the Washington Commander's Defense, as we'll speak with commanders analyst Mark Bullock
2:32.6	of Bullock's Filmroom, which you can find
2:34.4	at markbullock.substack.com. All 22-style perspective on what's going wrong for the defense and why
