Longtime Wizards insider Troy Haliburton joins the podcast to address the Wizards' potential move to Virginia. Troy wrote a great piece on his Substack (link below) about the move and what, if any, responsibility Ted Leonsis had to the District of Columbia after taking their money to support various projects throughout the years. We covered the series of events that led to this, why this move is good for Monumental's bottom line, who is to blame for the move, what this will do to traffic in the area, whether "crime" was actually a factor in the move, what this will do to the DC economy, the Entertainment and Sports Arena basically being abandoned by Monumental Sports after the DC government paid for most of it, and why this accelerates the timeline of the Wizards' rebuild. Plus, we end on a positive note with lots of praise for rookie Bilal Coulibaly. Presented by
