Why do the Wizards need Khris to play games? They're an extreme tanking team & he's in his 30's.

They have every reason to get him to whatever his 100% is and try to move him next year as an expiring.

Brook/Pat for Kuz would have gotten us under the apron. And we might have actually had to attach less assets cuz 3/4 of that salary would have been expiring. Khris had considerably negative value to them cuz he's under contract for 2 yrs.

Also, if the requirement is just legs for rebounding & d, Nance & 2 2nds for Bobby would have done it. Then use the 2 2nds, maybe Tyler Smith, to attach Pat & get under the apron. Still do the Wright for Sims as your 4th big deal. & the KPJ deal.

Khris could have still been on the team, while giving up less future assets, & serving the interests of getting under the 2nd apron while adding an athletic supporting cast. Didn't require doing Kuz for Khris + AJ Johnson specifically. That's the most costly route.


I’d rather have Brook/Bobby/Kuzma than Middleton/AJ/Nance

And enjoyable to see an even slower team with less BBIQ than us.


They are easily the dumbest team in the league with the dumbest superstar in Ant, followed closely by Gobert.

Conley is a corpse, but they desperately need his organization. NAW is a really nice player, but he has 0 PG skills.

Sure, but what about Middleton, Kuzma, Bobby? That's a no brainer, especially when Giannis would be playing a ton of 5 in the playoffs. Brook would be on the bench if he was still here with those guys.

Brogdon is back. If Middleton and Smart are healthy they might win a few games. They have a 3 game cushion to stay in the bottom 3. It will be interesting to see what they do if they do win a few.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Irrationally upset Bobby couldn't clear 11.5 points on my parlay with no Dame/Giannis. Glad they won, but damn.

The point is what's done is done.

He also shot the three pretty well each of his last two seasons in Houston. Im definitely not going to just assume he cant shoot anymore.

I kind of wonder if we moved AJ Johnson in part because we knew we were getting kpj.

He moves so much better than someone like Bobby. Seemed like the best guy on the court for the wolves for decent stretches. I’m a huge fan.

Also, for those of us who were big TSJ fans from the draft, he’s tough. He’s so much more physical than most guards he’ll go up against. He’s just a lot to handle. Fun player with a pretty bright future.

I would not, for present & future. And we keep Brook in the Nance scenario. So it's Brook/Middleton/Nance/AJ v. Bobby/Kuz. The other scenario was Middleton/Kuz/Bobby/AJ. Those are both far better than what we ended up, w/ Kuz as 3rd banana, who becomes 2nd if Dame/Giannis get injured at any point in the playoffs (they likely will).

I want to see KPJ out there with the starters, I think he will unlock another level to Dames game.

The bipolar emotional flag bearer of the board calling people out for being emotional is always so funny.

Well known that he was my preferred pick, followed closely by Dunn. Glad he's finally getting some burn. There is so much to like in his game.

speed and the size. defensively and on the boards its going to be a huge addition. i know minnesota shot poorly but it was obvious on alot of those shots and in the lane they were getting bothered more than what im used to watching around here.


It’s pretty wild that a team with the Greek Freak could lack athleticism to the extent we did.

Absolutely absurd. Dame has had a very nice season and his presence has helped Giannis unlock another level on offense. Whereas Giannis paint dominance limits Dame's penetration opportunity, so that hasn't really worked to Dame's strong suits. We now have a large sample size that shows Giannis is somewhat hard for other players to gel with.

What really gets me is some accusing Dame of being a bad teammate, a drunk, or lazy. The guy has won teammate of the year just like Jrue. The Anthony Mason comparison legit makes me angry.

That part of the trade I still don't understand. Maybe the Wizards really wanted him.

Of course. But after a nice road win why spend time thread crapping. Everyone has players they like and don't like but it gets ridiculous.


Yup, great win. To me, these defense 1st games are fun. However, I think it's also important to recognize how these games happen.


Just think about how wrong you have to be about something for rilaman to be the only dude on your side. That’s how wrong you are about this.
