There were a lot of topics to cover at yesterday’s post-NBA trade deadline press conference with Wizards president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld. Although he’s notorious for revealing very little and maintaining the party line no matter the consequences, I tried to ask a couple of questions that took the longer view of the team’s downfall, which arguably began the moment that Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison signed their contract extentions in the summer of 2008.
First, I asked Ernie to characterize what happened from that point, how it all went so wrong.
