PG Washington: Giannis makes Wizards disappear

[RRyder823]

Dude looks like he'll be traded.

Curious which teams can match the contract with guys that are not playable but also expiring.

Wizards could take on a multi year guy. They have no impending salary crunch.

If Middleton stays healthy till the dealine some team will trade for him you are correct

If he misses a significant amount of time between now and then hes getting bought out

Few Bucks have questioned whether hes good enough to contribute when hes on the floor. Odds of that happening consistently over a season at this point aren't high.

Im still betting on him getting bought out and returning to the Bucks

Scoot is a nickname I should know?

Kuz shut me up for a good minute in the second half. Props to him and his left hand.

His left stroke's the death stroke.

Nothing left to do but send him home (to some other team)

(Unless this is a Magic Stick reference, and not a One More Chance reference)

I got real worried about KPJ for a minute there when he tried to get up and couldn't and I feared for the worst but when I saw the replay it was clearly a turned ankle and I was very relieved that the worst had clearly been averted. Hopefully this is more the couple day sprained ankle variety rather than the couple week variety

Not the worst thing to give some other guys some burn in October and November to see what we have before February comes along and things get weird at the deadline.

The next couple weeks of games are the type where I could see them going 5-2 or 2-5 and I feel much more confident in the former if KPJ is playing

If he's going to get traded I'd say San Antonio, Houston and the Lakers would be the most likely in that order I think.

KPJ and I both prefer Sukuta.

Hope KPJ is OK. Getting a worse whistle on our home-court than the Washington Wizards of all teams is worrying. Hopefully not a trend. I don't hate Kuz in the PF role off the bench as a connective type, driving and kicking out, but Doc, for all that is holy, you can not keep playing him next to Giannis. The fact that we were rolling and he stumbled back into a Giannis/Kuz/TP lineup is insane.

[Coach Carter]

Horst saw George and said ''imma draft AJ and trade him to the Wizards''.

Now he needs Suki.

Well, shoot. And this is a doctor saying this!

Seems irresponsible of him to shorten it to Doc, though. Very Bugs Bunny.

KPJ will be out for awhile but there's no reason for angst. We had a comfortable win against a bad team. We will lose to a bad team on occasion. So will other good teams. Such is the NBA.

Our starters played 20 preseason minutes together. It will take some time to gel (but they sure gelled in the first half). Now is the time to play a lot of guys and eventually roles and rotations will be figured out.

Last year we lost by double digits in our home opener.

Very pleased with tonight.

[Baddy Chuck]

I think Giannis is good.

Kuz knows his role early. Not starting him, keeping him slightly more humble, best thing for him (and us). I'll take 2 Blks / 2 Stls from him nightly.

KPJ was on track to win me some dough tonight. Hope he's okay. Wasn't able to watch, anxious to check out the replay.

44 threes?



Good wire-to-wire win to start things off. 1st half offense was promising if it’s a sign of things to come. Giannis still good confirmed.

The next 4 games are tough. Raptors look solid and then it's Knicks, Cavs, Warriors. Having KPJ probably out for those games sucks.

Sucks we have the warriors so early. They will look much different in February when guys are hurt and resting.
