Bulk is not always best its strength that matters, he could just have really lean muscle mass, but be pretty strong, and he's obviously going to have a speed advantage over bulkier PF's Lets see how he does, he could play his way in to the rotation if he starts hitting his 3's better than scott.

Good point, we should probably cut everyone that can't beat out Trey Burke and Marcus Thornton, also should base all of our decisions off of what Brooklyn does. Brilliant analysis as always from Mr. "He's only considered a good shooter because he's white"/Lou Williams number 1 fan Dat2U


We probably should cut anyone that can't beat out Burke & Thornton. And yes, Brooklyn's cupboard is bare. If they can't find use for a young big man with upside then he probably didn't show much.

Also the next time your funny will be your first. There was nothing wrong with wanting Lou Will. We probably beat Boston if we had Lou instead of Brandon Jennings.



Yeah I'm sure most teams would prefer a player that required a 1st round pick in trade over a player off the streets recently cut by the New York Knicks, don't see how that's relevant.

You are the only poster on here that actually thinks Burke and Thornton deserved PT over Sato and Mac. Only one.

We should probably cut him because Brooklyn traded him. Just like Dallas should cut Yogi because they passed on him as well. It's not like Brooklyn is the worst team in the NBA, every team should base their decisions on a system called WWBKD. We should probably now trade our future for Paul pierce and Kevin Garnett

When did I ever say that? Of course I would have preferred Sato & Mac. However, unlike you, I'm not blind to the fact that Sato & Mac were:

a. rookies.
b. a former 2nd round draft pick & undrafted free agent respectively.
c. Sato was incapable of running an offense.
d. Neither was capable of knocking down open jumper
e. Mac (an undrafted rookie) had to earn trust from the coaching staff after being 'too cool' early in the season. http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-wizards/morning-tip-sheldon-mcclellan-earns-trust-wizards-coaching-stafff

But tell me again how a flawed former 2nd round pick and undrafted rookie with bouts of laziness are supposed to be clear cut choices over veteran players?

Yogi proved to be a passable role player at PG. Big whoop. I don't think Dallas is viewing him as a key piece to the future.

They were clear cut choices. What else do you need? Sato and Mac were top 30 defenders at shooting guard. Burke and Thornton were probably the worst two defenders at their respective positions. This isn't rocket science lol. You just wanna argue and be butthurt over Brooks criticism as always. You would've preferred Sato and Mac, but it would've been tough for Brooks to understand which players are better? Ok got it

Hold it fellas
Brooks more than likely didn't hold them out because of a grudge or a hard on for vets, Tomas is still raw on offence, and Mac is just plain raw. yes they played really good defence last year! they probably did deserve a chance over burke and thornton and jennings.But brooks knew those three were not coming back and he was not afraid to let those three get abused by more experienced players, I imagine he was protecting them while giving them the playing time he could all while trying to keep us in the hunt. What would have been the point of tossing tomas and Mac to the wolves? we were winning games! no reason to kill the confidence of your only young assets when you are already winning games with guys who don't matter. Now this is the year tomas and mac have to show improvement. we brought them competent competition, lets see how they do!

They gave Yogi opportunities and he sucked. They also weren't as comfortable as the Mavericks to turning a blind eye to his inability to guard anyone.

Sometimes a different system is all a player needs.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Cut him and open up a spot for a real NBA player, please.

I wonder how-long we will the Wizards keep-up the pretense that CMC is our legit 1st-round pick? Even-though we could make better use of CMC's roster spot, Politically, we won't part-ways with him until it comes time to pick-up his option.

You guys need to relax. We have him for this year, so lets give him a little burn.
Summer League is terrible for non-ball handlers. Mac/Keene can thrive because they can control the game more.
CMC looks a little out of sorts, but these guys are just running into each other with no rhythm.

This is a good point. Most non shot creators look awful in summer league. Won't give up just yet
