And I think the FO have a plan to have the cap to act during the offseason, I don't think they were going to do anything at the trade deadline to disrupt that plan. And I really don't think there were many trades available at the deadline as well.
Washington sources said the Wizards lowered their asking price for Tyus Jones to 2nd RD picks right before the deadline. He would have been nice for steadying the PG position before the playoffs. FO wouldn't trade Fultz though. We're all about playing with joy and family.


If this is true they should be fired. Who knows though.

it probably is true. Why would they let him walk for nothing when they're tanking anyway? :banghead:

This is our best chance for a win out of the last 4. At least we can get a better draft pick if we end up out of the playoffs.

Who knows if this is true, and the fact that Jones is still in DC despite the lower price might mean it was false.

If Giannis is out until the playoffs then there are two cracks at wins, especially tomorrow. But you obviously want tonight. And we know if the Bucks just play a bunch of three point shooters we might be screwed anyway lol

If we miss the playoffs, I wouldn't mind it being the last we see of him in a magic jersey for the rest of his career.

The bench is gonna make a little run and Mosley's gonna bring the starters back in down like 13 with 7 minutes left and blow their legs out ahead of the back-to-back tomorrow, right?

Apparently it is going to be the Rockets who are resting their guys early.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

It's a 2-year deal.

There's no such thing as a bad 2-year deal man. It would have come off the books before Franz and Suggs' extensions even kicked in lmfao.

Still, give me Jrue this summer instead.


thats operating under the assumption that Jrue would even want to come here

If the Celtics win or atleast get to the finals, he could stay then youre left with neither

Is Paolo just a worse/bigger version of Carmelo Anthony?

Might be joining Xatticus soon.
