In the last several years, photos of a team's top decision-makers in the draft "war room" have become part of every team's content plan across every professional league.
The premise behind the picture is simple: show that the people who you trust make good decisions are ready for action.
So, it was bizarre when the Washington Wizards posted a live look (clock on the wall and commissioner Adam Silver at the podium confirm this) of their war room, with no decision-makers in sight.
It's a ghost town in there:

Bitter Wizards fans didn't miss a beat to poke fun at the team brass:
Why is there no one there? This explains our draft history...

— Jamie (@TheJamieEffect) June 22, 2018Ernie is not even there. wtf is he doing?? terrible organization
