The Washington Wizards face a challenging question as they enter an important summer: Is this iteration of the team good enough to compete for an Eastern Conference Championship? Getting younger at center or building up the bench are simple ways to improve the team, and nobody will object to the front office pursuing those fixes in those areas but a more pointed question has to be asked: Do the Wizards need to break up their core to make it happen?
On the surface the question seems a little silly. Washington just played the Toronto Raptors, a team which recreated itself around their core after it seemed like their window had closed.
