Side John wall is great. I hate earin how they did him. Geo deserved better and honestly I'd love to have him on this team right this second!

“I’ll think about it” is crazy. Everyone knows thats a “nice” way of saying no

I'll never forget the day John was traded.

Brad was on TV all emotional about the situation.

As I suspected all along.....BS.

Brad is the gm just like LeBron - although much better apparently since it was a very good trade.

Although I'm also guessing that it wasn't really up to Beal since you know he wasn't actually the GM.

Actually, I think it was up to Brad ultimately....just based off of how this organization literally "bends the knee" to him at every turn.

If it was ultimately up to Brad whether or not to trade John, which I don’t believe it was, then most would agree that he made right decision.

I don't believe Brad told the Wiz to trade John....but I do believe he was in the loop when the decision was made despite his (faux) emotional response.

Not going to touch whether it was the right or wrong decision.

It's the decision they made.

Yeah, it just looks like Wall was angry and looking for someone to blame (in fact it looks like he's blaming everyone including Leonsis, Shepherd, and Beal). It was a good trade for Washington though at the end of the day. And now it's turned out relatively OK for Wall now that he was on a team that was considered a contender in the preseason.

I'm interpreted Beal's "we'll see" as it it's not up to him. And he probably heard Wall's story of the apology which may have been the reason why he was on the outs anyways.

Looks like Kawhi wants an upgrade in the point guard position. John Wall could be on the move again.

Nobody wants him.

That's funny, cause no one wants Westbrook either. Although I don't see any teams losing a pick over Wall...just the Wizards.

Everyone wants Kuzma- that is until he gets paid.

The Wiz should move him. Paying him a massive contract or letting him walk for nothing are both terrible options. When it comes to trades Tommy has managed to turn trash into treasure(well trash into workable assets at least) multiple times. This would be the first time he actually has a sought after commodity to shop

Unless it's for Durant, Ted won't let Tommy trade Kuzma.

I don't believe it's that serious. Tbh I think we have a 5050 on trading or keeping him

There's zero chance we trade him at the Trade Deadline.

I suppose there's a small possibility that we S&T him in the offseason, but it's far more likely that we just resign and keep him, or that some other team outbids us and we get nothing in return.

If Kuzma says hey Tommy I'm out, please move me. I see Tommy moving him.

And why would he say that? He has a green light and is putting up numbers while playing for a franchise who has always been suckers for paying people. Not to mention its still an attractive city

who's got pockets for 2023 free agency?

Utah, Minny (Dlo comes off the books), Orlando, OKC, Lakers (lol), Hornets, Pistons, Pacers (need to resign Myles Turner), Rockets, and Spurs.

I think DC is as good if not better than all those destinations.
