Come to hang out so, so much. Thank you. Thank you all rocking with us and making this

offseason preview series such success. Bryce, let's talk about the Wizards now. The Wizards

have like kind of a quiet offseason forthcoming to me. It feels like they made a lot of their

big moves at the deadline in order of kind of

taking up the cap space that they had going into next year.

I will be interested to see if they're able to kind of take on any more deals in order

to continue to accumulate assets.

But Michael Winger, Will Dawkins, those guys seem to have like a pretty

real sense of what they're building and how they're going about building it. And really,

it's just going to be continuing to accumulate young talent is what it feels like. Yeah, I agree.

I like the approach they've taken. They finally just, you know, broke it down. They had all the first round picks last year.

And, you know, we'll still see kind of the ceiling and what all of those guys end up being.

They have two first round picks this year, a second round pick. I think, what, three in the top 40-ish or

something like that. And so I think it's still just continuing to build out that talent,

acquiring long-term assets

along the way.
