In this week’s episode of the Bullets Forever Podcast, Jake Whitacre stayed up way past his bedtime and answered some questions about the Wizards’ decisions in free agency, including:
- Why did the Wizards sign Jason Smith? (No clue!)
- Is Marcin Gortat on the trade block? (Probably not!)
- Is there a trade idea for Gortat that makes sense for both teams? (Can’t find one!)
- Who will the Wizards add to round out their wing depth? (Hope you like Alan Anderson!)
- Are the Wizards going to chase after a big free agent next summer? (Unlikely!)
- Where do the Wizards stand in the Eastern Conference after this year’s moves? (Slightly better than average!)
- Was the Trey Burke trade disappointing? (A little bit!)
- Was Scott Brooks the biggest signing of the summer? (Most likely!)
