Before the start of free agency, the mandate from impatient fans and even some players on the Washington Wizards‘ roster was to add a star.
The Wizards made an effort, reaching out to Kevin Durant then reportedly being very close to landing Al Horford.
After missing out on Horford, Washington quickly moved through free agency, spending their available cap room minus the room exception.
The low profile nature of their roster additions, however, did not meet fan expectations of bringing a star to the roster.
Is the pursuit of a star misplaced, though?
