## Resource

Ben Strober, Abdullah Ayubi, and guest Eric Bickel break down Washington’s bold offseason moves, Young’s $212 million extension, and the sky-high expectations for impact rookies like Dybantsa. Discussions spotlight Will Dawkins’ savvy player acquisitions, the evolution of Davis’s role, and the team’s defensive prospects after years of frustration. How many wins will it take for the Wizards to call 2026 a success—and is a playoff berth realistic amid an improved Eastern Conference?
