'We're going to make the playoffs for sure:' Wizards retool around Beal, Wall

The last time John Wall and Bradley Beal stepped on the court together, the Wizards’ supporting cast looked vastly different. In the two years since, only two others from that roster — Thomas Bryant and Troy Brown — remain.

Training camps began Tuesday all over the NBA, a short turnaround for a league whose season ended just seven weeks ago. But for the Wizards, the workouts marked the latest step in trying to reincorporate Wall, coming off a torn Achilles, into a squad that has undergone a complete overhaul in recent years. The Wizards jettisoned most of their veterans to get younger last year, and this offseason added some experience to try and fix a porous defense.
