Khris obviously had little value around the league.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Including AJ Johnson and a swap is just bad business. If they didn't at least prep Giannis for this ahead of time it might be all over.

Yeah, I could be sold that the org just doesn’t believe in his ability to make it through a postseason and is just a rich man’s joe ingles at this point, but adding anything of value, much less our recent first round pick, Horst can gtfo

Also by giving Pat C preferential treatment and the resulting inability to trade him for anything coz of his decline.

Horst is BURNING it down on his way out. He doesn't want to be here.

Maybe Kuzma will actually be good, right? Change of scenery, playing with winning players? Maybee right?

Trade is still an abomination, but this makes it less bad.


Horst's press conference is going to be:

1) Thanks to Khris Middleton, not only the player, but the man
2) This 2025 2nd rounder is a great asset for us

Yes, and the 2031 pick is still untouched

Who cares about the swap, Washington will always suck. Does Baldwin have any upside at all?

Horrible to lose Johnson. Khris was finally acceptable to lose but Johnson?

Really sad to see Khris go, especially in a trade that doesn't make us better on court. Feeling pretty bummed

I don’t hate this. Getting under that apron was a must. Harsh reality of both the business of the nba and how shot Khris is.

Most of my friends texts are like “Khris helped us get a title” and “after everything he’s done.”

Therein lies the problem with him. People are still so emotionally attached to what he was and not realistic about what he is.

Kept the '31 pick at least for now. Let's see what Pat/Bobby/Marjon or Pat/Brook/Marjon can get us now that we can aggregate. Probably not much.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

This thread is going to blow through the limit, LOL.

These last two years have been bizarre to say the least. I wonder if Brook and Pat are next.

The 2028 swap was already sent out in the Dame trade, so this means it’s a swap of a swap.

The wizards will have the opportunity to swap firsts for the worst of the por/mil 1st in 2028.
