A team that struggled and barely made the playoffs last season is now near the top of the Eastern Conference. Yes, it’s the Washington Wizards who have completely turned their roster around from last season. They traded their star player Russell Westbrook to receive extremely crucial pieces to their roster.

His answer was even more diplomatically brutal.
