2019 NBA Free Agency: Wizards shouldn’t have rushed to sign Ish Smith and Isaiah Thomas

Tomas Satoransky was a restricted free agent — meaning, the Washington Wizards could match any offer he gets and force him to stay in D.C. — but he was pretty much a goner.

Satoransky rarely, if ever, complained about his role with the Wizards, but he had grown tired of being slotted at different positions, and yearned for consistency from his coaching staff. At 6-foot-7, Satoransky considered himself to be a point guard, and struggled to adjust to the Wizards’ view of him as a positionless player, capable of playing the two and three.
