Leonsis says Wizards', Capitals' offseasons deserve 'A' grades

ARLINGTON, Va. — It shouldn’t surprise fans that Washington Wizards and Capitals owner Ted Leonsis was happy with how his teams’ offseasons went.

“I thought both front offices had ‘A’ grades for their offseasons,” Leonsis told reporters Monday. “I think when a season ends you sit down and say, ‘This is what we want to accomplish.’ With the Wizards, it was we need to have more balance and more depth and be prepared for injuries.”

The Wizards added Austin Rivers in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers and Jeff Green in free agency, bench scoring that Leonsis said he is excited the team brought in.
