During Will Dawkins and Michael Winger’s introductory press conference in June 2023, the duo outlined a multi-year plan to resurrect a dormant franchise in need of a major reset. After years of chasing NBA titles with a play-in roster, Wizards ownership promised a different approach — one built on trust between an owner tired of […]
Mark P The Weekend Chat is now open! We’ll begin things officially once a few questions start to pile up… Garrett I’m interested in your Nationals strategy if you were in charge of the team come trade deadline. Personally I feel like they’ll sell but mostly focus on expiring pieces vs. an Abrams trade, for […]
The Washington Commanders are welcoming quarterback Jayden Daniels back to their offense in 2026. Upon his return, many have speculated that the franchise could add a big name receiver such as Brandon Aiyuk or Stefon Diggs. But thus far, the Commanders haven’t dug too deep into the free agency well. That doesn’t bother Daniels though, […]
The post How Commanders’ Jayden Daniels really feels if Brandon Aiyuk or Stefon Diggs aren’t acquired appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Talk about recapturing the vibes! The Nats have now fully put the San Francisco meltdown in the rear view mirror after taking the series against the Mariners with a 10-1 win. After the Mariners scored a run in the first inning, this was a comprehensive beatdown by the Nats. On the one year anniversary of […]
Nationals 10, Mariners 1 When you toss a game so bad we won’t list the highest WPA in the chart: Emerson Hancock, -0.33 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
Editor’s note: We’ll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here’s how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points assigned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to form […]
The Mariners will try to wipe the slate clean today behind Emerson Hancock. He could use a great outing as much as the Mariners could use one from him. Since his first start in May, Hancock has looked less like a breakout star and more like a somewhat improved version of his old self. Over […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves could make a big splash in the trade market this offseason as they look to try and return to the Western Conference Finals. Bleacher Report contributor Grant Hughes suggests a trade that would send Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, Joan Barringer, and the No. 28 overall pick to the Washington Wizards for Anthony […]

With the first pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards are almost certain to pick either AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson. They’re both impressive prospects who’d warrant being the top selection in nearly any draft. But 2026 is a rare year with four elite prospects who would normally be considered The Guy. So […]
The Washington Wizards need to give Trae Young the offensive support the Detroit Pistons haven't given Cade Cunningham.
The most obvious answer to this question is “whoever the Wizards don’t pick between AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson.” Right now on FanDuel, AJ Dybantsa is at the highest it’s been all draft season at -500. Those aren’t the astronomical odds that were set for Cooper Flagg and Victor Wembanyama, but it’s interesting they keep […]
Former Wizards players Landry Shamet, Trey Jemison III and Dillon Jones won an NBA championship with the New York Knicks on Saturday. It marked the ninth time in 10 seasons that at least one former Wizard has won the NBA title. Shamet spent the 2023-24 season in Washington before leaving in free agency and later […]
It was a terrible first inning for the Mariners, in what would eventually be an 8-3 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. Cole Young flew out on the first pitch of the game. Julio Rodríguez struck out on the next three. And Josh Naylor popped out on the first pitch he saw. That’s right: Nationals’ […]
Nationals 8, Mariners 3 Day baseball nap: Colt Emerson, .17 WPA Day baseball nap, on the cap: Luis Castillo, -.37 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
After the historic meltdown in San Francisco, the Nats came out flat and the Mariners made them pay. Now they need to prevent things from spiraling out of control. A win today would be a great way to move on from that Giants loss. The Nats need Cade Cavalli to be a stopper. The Nats […]
Despite the loss last night, Nationals fans still got to see the James Wood show up close and personal. The Nats 23 year old slugger hit one of his majestic shots off of Bryce Miller. Unlike most of his home runs, this ball was pulled and got out of Nationals Park in a hurry. As […]
Here is a potential trade framework where the Chicago Bulls get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, with a big return for the Wizards.
Six teams that could target wide receiver Stefon Diggs in free agency now that the star wide receiver won't be facing a suspension.
In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked a pair of questions about the predicted winner of the NFC East and Commanders projected playoff success. The results are slightly schizophrenic, with the Kool-Aid (or Flavor Aid, if you prefer) flowing strongly when it comes to predicting the division winner, but a lot less confidence about the […]
Last week was the start of Brandon Aiyuk’s return to social media and our return to overanalyzing everything. Friday, the campaign continued with Aiyuk posting in Washington, D.C., of all places. So why is Washington, D.C., so important? Because that’s where the Washington Commanders are, and everyone has speculated Aiyuk would end up in some […]

The Mariners are finishing out their long road trip with an interleague set against the Nationals and things got off to a tough start with a two-hour-plus rain delay, their second of the season (glares in the general direction of Minnesota). Rain delays historically haven’t been kind to the Mariners, but today they overcame the […]
