In the seventh episode, Josh and Bleav in Wizards/Bullets Forever's Matt Modderno discuss the ongoing negotiations between the Wizards and Hawks for a Trae Young trade, the Wizards' improved play, and their favorite draft lottery prospects.

In the sixth episode, Josh and No Ceilings' Nathan Grubel discuss Bilal Coulibaly's outlook ahead of his first extension-eligible offseason, how the Wizards should address the point guard position, and the 2026 draft class.

Update: Coulibaly is back on the injury report with an oblique injury and will likely miss multiple weeks, per The Athletic's Josh Robbins.

In the fifth episode, Josh and Locked On Wizards' Ben Strober discuss how the Wizards can get out of their current rut without giving up their top-eight protected pick, potential head coaching replacements next offseason, and favorite draft prospects.

Hey, Spotify and Apple listeners! Apologies for the delay in getting this episode up, as I had technical difficulties. For this one, I had SI's Henry Brown join me the day before the Wizards' blowout loss to the Nets. We discussed Bilal Coulibaly's injury issues, Alex Sarr-Victor Wembanyama comparisons, the 2026 draft class, and more.

Updates/Corrections:

Coulibaly returned for the Nets game.

Will Riley and Jamir Watkins have both played G League games since this recording.

Mikel Brown scored 29 points against Kentucky, not Kansas.

In the third episode, Josh and Monumental Sports Network's Bijan Todd discuss Bilal Coulibaly's progress since returning from injury, Cam Whitmore's potential, the team's different lineup combinations, and more.

*Please note that Bijan meant to say Bub (not Bilal) at 33:47.

In the second episode, Josh and Capital Hoop Caucus's Troy Haliburton discuss Kyshawn George's ascension, Tre Johnson's strong start, Alex Sarr's growth, and more.

In the debut episode, Josh and Bullets Forever's Greg Finberg discuss who stood out for the Wizards in the preseason, predictions for the regular season rotation, who will progress the most on the young core this year, and the 2026 free-agent class.

*Please note that Dillon Jones got waived and Kevin Durant signed an extension since this was recorded*
