The Wizards have been relatively quiet in a loud offseason, but team president Ernie Grunfeld had some things to say on Wednesday after the team’s final predraft workout. In his first offseason appearance, Grunfeld noted that the Wizards would be willing to exceed the salary cap “if it’s the right player,” according to Hoop District’s Neil Dalal.
"If it's the right player, I don't think we have a problem going over," Grunfeld said when asked if surpassing luxury tax was on the table.

The Wizards have been adamant about not going over the luxury tax in the past, but after their most successful season in recent memory and with John Wall eligible for a massive extension, that seems to have changed.
