Reports indicate that the Washington Wizards and Bilal Coulibaly engaged in last-minute rookie-scale extension discussions before the season!
Despite these reports, Coulibaly and the Wizards didn't get a deal done!!
And here's what stands out to me.
WHY WERE THEY TALKING AT THE LAST MINUTE?
If Washington was trying to salvage an agreement right before the deadline...
That makes me wonder how much meaningful progress had been made before then!
And it raises another question.
WERE THE TWO SIDES FURTHER APART ON THE MONEY THAN WE REALIZED?
