Saw a John Wall 2016 TikTok and it just triggered something in me

I would read a 5000-word article on Grunfeld’s 2016 free agency.
it’s like when you break up with someone who was really toxic but the next couple dudes you go with are kinda pretty on the surface but you go back to their place and it’s just weed resin all over the bathroom sink counter and dominoes pizza boxes in the corner of the bedroom. You start thinking you know maybe the original dude, though toxic, had some hidden merits ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Don’t forget that he mentored Tommy Sheppard, so he managed to fuck us even after he was gone
You should hate Ted more. Ernie just sucks at his job, Ted is the nimrod who employed him as the longest serving GM in the NBA despite sucking every year.
I still hold resentment for Ernie but over the years I definitely despise Ted more. Let’s forget about Ernie and direct all hatred towards Ted. Ted kept Ernie employed for way too long, replaced him with a mediocre internal hire in Sheppard who was also kept for too long (4 years), fired the legendary Buck and Phil and replaced them with bottom-tier commentators, Beal’s contract and NTC, not trading Beal until too late, said fuck you to fans and tried to move the team out of DC, etc.
I don’t hate him because as trash as he was he put together some solid playoff squads. He just couldn’t draft, sign good players, and kept certain squads and players too long. Also 2016 offseason was such a wash cuz none of those moves did anything for us at all. At the end of the day all his trash moves and decisions had to go through Ted….
The problem is ownership. Pollin hampered this franchise for decades. Now it’s Ted.
For everyone mentioning Ted, i hate him just as much. But gotta face reality, guys not selling the team. And even though it was 20 years in the making finally got someone like Michael Winger in that is finally bringing some hope back into me again.
But it’s not like Ted doesn’t know how to put together championship teams, because he’s had two: the Capitals and the Mystics..
Next time you hear about the undefeated Cleveland Cavs, just remember Jarret Allen was selected with the Washington pick Ernie dealt away for a half season rental on Bogs and to unload one of the many lousy contracts he handed out.
My man signed Ian Mahinmi, Andrew Nicholson, Trey Burke, Jason Smith, Marcus Thornton all in one offseason
Fire Ernie for life!
I hate this man so much and will never forgive him idc Having Winger & Dawkins now feels like rain after being in the desert for 20 years
Tommy was worse
Is that the My Pillow guy?
Ian Mahimi & Andrew Nicholson lol
He set this team back decades
That MFer traded, Oleksiy Pecherov and the fifth pick in the 2009 Draft for Mike Miller and Randy Foye. Coulda had Steph.
He picked Otto Porter when he could’ve got the Greek Freak
