The Washington Wizards have become one of the most consistent teams in the Eastern Conference, but if you’ve been a fan for a long time, you know that it hasn’t always been that way.
After Ernie Grunfeld finally decided to clean the team, he added several veteran players that helped change the team’s culture. We could go as far back as Roger Mason or Maurice Evans, but let’s be honest, true change didn’t occur until the team started to win.
A few years ago, Grunfeld traded for Nene, Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza.
