ATL Thread - Woj: Wall out for year - surgery on ankle pg 73

RealGM Bucks Forum Poster: "I think Thon, DJ Wilson, Delly, and a conditional first, and a second could get it done for Wall and Beal. Gives the Wizards great athletic potential (and a great guy, as well) in Thon, untapped stretch four first round pick in Wilson, and just a scrappy guy who knows how to win in Delly. I think this trade could really help Washington and we would do them a favor by taking on salary."

He'll no but it was a popular narrative because I guess he blocked a few more shots for the Warriors

I mean, have you seen Wall's contract?

Fine, make Washington take on Henson's Chipotle per diem to even it out.

And the main reason people think Beal is such a massive prize is because Wall's contract makes Beal's contract look small.
In reality Khris Middleton is a better player than Beal this year.

I mean nobody has put one of those offers on the table, but okay?

Yeah this year. Wizards are a dumpster fire and the Bucks are one of the best teams in the league.

There is.

Also think though that social media has just erupted as the dominant force in the league now and that drives a lot of this stuff. We the NBA consumer want drama, stories, trades, rumors and we push them non-stop using this new medium (primarily via twitter).

There's been some talk of Grunfeld's fleece-ability. Let's just leave it at that..

Damn Valentine out for the season basically. Bulls might finish with the worst record.

Yet probably finish with a better record then had he played.

He started getting the best 2 way talk during his last playoffs with OKC when he was great against Kawhi and in the GSW series.

World Wide Windhorst does a weekly podcast that i just discovered. I tend to enjoy it a lot, your mileage may vary.

Today he had on Tim Bontemps and Nick Friedell. Bontemps said he thinks Kemba is a better player than Kyrie. Friedell starts with this obnoxious long laugh and says he's crazy. Friedell kept laughing at Bontemps. Got almost uncomfortable. I agree with Bontemps. I'd take Kemba.

I'd take Kyrie for playoff basketball, his ability to hit tough shots and take control is second to none. Kemba has a way better attitude and is a better leader which makes it pretty even, wouldn't question anybody taking either

I actually had this same conversation with my buddy at the bar. He basically laughed and said Kyrie and it's not even close, he doesn't know very much about basketball so that tells you a lot.

I'll let my scalding takes spill over here from the game thread, but give me a locked in Bledsoe over either of them to play alongside Giannis. Crazy, I know.

That was Friedell as well. He's sort of angling to become the Skip Bayless of the NBA. Lots of super hot takes given with an edge to them.

Yeah. Beal is the real prize of this years market. Bucks should do whatever it takes to get him.

I really like Beal. Most other years I'd take him over Middleton, but this year is a different story obviously. A Bledsoe/Beal/Middleton/Giannis core would be **** nasty either way

What could be offered for him that doesn't involve those guys though? Brogdon/Divencenzo/1st/**** filler? Not that attractive of an offer

H2tObes · Post #138 » by **H2tObes** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 2:18 am

Like clockwork, Kemba with 21 in the 4th and a few daggers in a big comeback vs Celtics. Woah.

It is going to royally suck if the 76ers somehow get Beal.
