WASHINGTON (AP) The answers get a bit repetitive when the front office leader of an NBA team is answering questions about a fifth consecutive season out of the playoffs.

"We have a foundation," Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. "We have some solid veteran players and some developing young players. There's a good chemistry, and there's no question that our goal for next year is to make the playoffs."

Grunfeld repeated the familiar refrain Tuesday, summing up the Wizards' 29-53 record at his annual end-of-season news conference.
