How the **** did we not make a run at Christian Wood? I mean seriously, there's virtually no chance Obi becomes the type of offensive player he is just because of the difference in size, and even then you could probably play him next to Obi. Some of the things we did this offseason are unforgivable.

When we were unable to trade up for Wiseman I was hoping we would make a move for Christian Wood. Oh well.

It's just really annoying, especially when you look down the road and see there's nobody to spend money on in the next 2 years. He's on a great contract for the type of production he's capable of too.

Our bread probably could have grabbed two of Wood, Beasley, Melton this summer. Still could have grabbed Burks or Rivers and some other filler. I don't want to talk about it.

This off-season? We’ve been idiots for quite a long time.

Wood had more than a few fans here and for some reason we didn’t consider it. I’m assuming it’s b/c they’re thinking 3 big rotation with Obi Randle Mitch.

The Tank to Nowhere

Not happening, but I'd welcome Siakam with open arms.

Westbrook has played really well, 4 triple doubles to start the year. What I like about his game is his penetration gets easy baskets for his teammates

It's crazy that him and beal form a losing tandem.

Even though we drafted Toppin, I’m glad that the posters who wanted to trade for Westbrook didn’t get their wish

I watched parts of that game yesterday, and it wasn't Westbrook's fault. Beal has some terrible plays and supporting cast is not good outside of Bryant

I never thought of Westbrook's as a championship type of game, but it seems to me that Washington should soon win more games. They're very talented overall and so is Westbrook.

Think I read in the Athletic recently that Westbrook took like 15ish midrange jumpers in one of his recent games?
