Troy, Isaac and Wardell open up this Wizards Wednesday show by reviewing the team's recent roster moves which include: waiving Dante Exum (2:22), assessing D'Angelo Russell's future (4:20), and the introduction of Jaden Hardy (6:47).
The crew then briefly recaps the Wizards recent losses to the Nets and Heat, and give their thoughts on NBA Twitter's meltdown over the team's tanking efforts (9:37).
Speaking of the NBA, a recent report came out that the league may be expanding, so we took turns selecting the eight players the Wizards should protect from an expansion draft (14:12).
From there, Troy is joined by Clair de Lune (@ClaireMPLS) to hear her reactions to the recent Anthony Davis trade (21:47). The two also discussed Adam Silver's recent comments on tanking in the league (31:17) the expectations for All-Star Weekend (39:13).
