Why beat around the bush? Ernie Grunfeld is an incompetent buffoon who has no semblance of a plan, and the longer Ted Leonsis ignores this fact, the longer the Washington Wizards will be irrelevant.
Grunfeld’s actions as a general manager/president are indefensible. Each of his most impressive accomplishments of the past decade has simply pushed the reckoning of his own mistakes to the future. That future has finally started to become the present, and the ensuing reality is going to be grim. This reckoning was predictable and avoidable, but Leonsis has refused to take responsibility for this disaster, and he appears content allowing this ship to sink all the way to the bottom.
