Five Questions

Shawn Hardie chats with lifelong Wizards fan Jay Smith about the Russell Westbrook-John Wall trade (with Jay’s friend (and Sixers fan) Alvin Grimes providing a “neutral” perspective). They discuss how much Jay believed the trade would happen when the rumors were flying (2:45), if ESPN’s “D” grade for the trade was justified (5:35), Wall’s impact in the community… and the DMV nightlife scene (13:50), the overall direction and plan (or lack thereof) of the Washington Wizards (18:15) and Jay’s feelings on his team making a trade that the Knicks often make (23:22). They also discuss what are the expectations for the Wizards this season (33:47) and if the Wizards will ever win a title under the ownership of Ted Leonsis (38:58).
