What do the Wizards need to be an elite team?

keep the team as is tbh...in the immediate future (meaning this off-season) we need to lock down bogdonavic and look for a cheaper Jennings replacement (Shelvin Mack is a name that comes too mind) and give Porter a max deal. Maybe find another couple of bench players for cheap but other than that let the bench progress, I feel Satoransky and Oubre will really improve alot over the coming years. We could even try and swing a young center (maybe Dedmon from the Spurs or Jones from the Warriors...or if we are really ambitious Nerlens Noel since he is still on a rookie deal).

2018 off-season will be the Demarcus Cousins sweepstakes. I don't know if he fits are team...but if we got rid of Morris/Gortat (who are supposed to become free agents in 2019 anyway, and will be 29 and 34 respectively at the start of 2018 season) then we have an extra 20m a year in cap space. We can make the moves to get big name players if we want. But lets keep what we have for now and see if we can contend, I believe we can.
