The Washington Wizards are aging and are struggling to put together wins with three All-Star caliber players.

The Washington Wizards core three players aren’t getting younger, and they definitely aren’t winning games right now. This is a problem for them if they want championships, three guys in their playing prime and can’t win games together? Not the greatest look.

There have already been calls from fans to trade Beal for the last few years, although with his no trade clause, this becomes difficult.

On the flip side, they are winning enough games to keep them from getting good lottery odds. This has kept them out of the bid for players like Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham and other high draft picks despite the team not being anywhere near a championship in these seasons.

This is how teams end up living in the pit of mediocrity, a place the Wizards have been rather consistently for a while. Lack of good picks and trading young talent for aging role players have been the Wizards bread and butter for a while.

Rebuilding may be how the team breaks out of mediocrity by being bad for a season or two while piling up a large amount of young talent and draft capital through trades involving the big three.

This may be how they finally assemble a true championship caliber roster.
