Yup, we had NO clue about the KP trade. One thing I know for sure...Turd isn't allowing this team to get anywhere near the tax.

They always do something. I expect a couple of deals right around the deadline. Kuzma trade&Morris trades. Maybe a smaller one that ships Nunn or Barton out for cash/future 2nds

You could be right. Important to remind ourselves from time to time that Tommy and Ted have a completely different outlook than we do. They truly believe we have a “Big 3” and that we’ve just been unlucky with injuries or whatever their latest excuse is.

Some small little move will probably happen, just waiting to see what crumbs will be left on the table for the Wizards per-usual

The Pacers are waiving Goga Bitadze. The Wizards have to sign him...he's underated IMO.

I am still expecting at least 2 trades. Nunn will be traded. Barton will be traded.
If they are smart, they would trade Kuzma. Looking at the value given to players currently being traded, Kuzma could command a lot.

If we can get anything for either of None or Barton (2nd round pick swap?) we should. Otherwise we need to simply cut one of them to open up a slot for Goody.

I tend to think that's more Ted. I doubt Tommy is that stupid.

It's a sad thing to always spend deadlines not hoping for a smart decision on a trade, or a rational direction shift (blow up/contend), but just praying they don't do something insanely stupid. So depressing. The best we can hope for is not stupider than what's already been done since Wall tumbled out of the shower holding his foot (and I get that quite a few of the trades worked out, but they were chairs on the titanic trades, not momentum shifting trades especially w/how thoroughly draft capital has been botched).

This is how they operate every single season since Tommy has taken over.

So Wiseman gets traded for a bunch of second rounders...lol.

NatP4 · Post #33 » by **NatP4** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 7:00 pm

So now we can finally admit that Wiseman is a total bust. Dumped for a handful of 2nds just like Rui.

Getting close to the end with nothing happening....

Bro there has to be something coming. Even a minor deal..

TGW · Post #36 » by **TGW** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 7:30 pm

Looks like they're staying pat. Gotta give Kuz dat 130 mil + NTC.

AFM · Post #37 » by **AFM** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 7:32 pm

Anyone here surprised?

payitforward · Post #38 » by **payitforward** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 7:34 pm

I didn't see even a single rumor of a trade involving us. Pathetic.

Shows you what a crapshoot this all is.

Golden St. was IT — a dynastic team that had high draft picks and was going to add youth to the roster and keep the shxt going for another five years.

Look at what happened.

Wiseman over Ball. That busted. He can’t play D and is clueless on O. Moody — a scrub. Kuminga isn’t a lost cause, but he hasn’t progressed.

That’s THREE lottery picks. Including 2 in the top 7.

And they’re Golden State. Bob Myers, Joe Lacob, forty-seven thousand data bureaucrats from the Silicon Valley technocracy.

And they FAILED. FAILED HARD.

It’s kind of delightful.

Hey, we were rumored this morning to be interested in Westbrook after his buyout! That's something!!
