Wizards can only blame themselves if Beal turns down potential extension

When was the last time a player was remembered for having a successful, winning career with the Washington Wizards?

It’s been decades.

The Wizards haven’t won 50 games since 1979 — and in the time that has spanned, the likes of Gilbert Arenas and John Wall have come through the capital, enamoring fans nationwide with their superstar talent. Both, though, failed to reach the top of the NBA mountain for various reasons, ranging from terrible luck to poor management that’s forced the franchise to play catch-up year after year.
