We cried when we ended up with the worst case at #5. Then the guy we wanted at #2 dropped at #5 but we had Mike Miller and Foye.

If Foye and Miller are not on this team next year, this trade officially joins every other blunder in Wizards history.

Rubio probably isn't that good if he falls that far.... You guys are overreacting...

Wow. What a proper cluster-f by Grunfeld... considering Rubio was THE CHOICE for us not a few weeks ago, making this trade early was absolutely asinine.

Ernie blew it. I like the trade but knowing that Rubio is their at five, the value is a lot more. We could have unloaded to DeBrick.

It is completely infuriating to root for this franchise. Years and years of completely inept management, bad trades, and just absolutely half-ass organization.

We had the opportunity to draft by far the best passer in the draft at 18, but our genius GM trades our pick TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DRAFT and ends up with the poo-poo platter. Ridiculous!
