The 2016 off-season was one of change and ultimately failure for the Washington Wizards.
The summer that has been circled on the calendars of Wizards fans for years, with the hopes of landing former Oklahoma City Thunder star and D.C. native Kevin Durant or perhaps another shiny consolation prize like ex-Atlanta Hawks big man Al Horford, ended instead with the likes of Ian Mahinmi and Andrew Nicholson joining the Wizards.
Those names don’t exactly instill the same confidence in Wizards fans as Durant or Horford would have.
The two most significant moves of the off-season for general manager Ernie Grunfeld were not bringing in players from other organizations.
