Giannis and KPJ running the floor is gonna be fun.

But just not quite good enough to beat us.

The thing that gives me comfort and kind of justifies the trade is how he reacts to the suggestion of playing 35mpg. Like, we were absolutely going to need that from in in the POs, and he makes it sound like it's out of the question.

Yep, that's the thing that stuck out to me. He thinks he's a 23-25 mpg player at this point, and I'm not sure that's enough for us to compete for a title. To be fair, I've been saying that I'd be happy if Khris could consistently give us 25 mpg of efficient play on a nightly basis. But he hasn't been able to do that, even.

Kuz might not be the answer, though. He's only been very slightly better than the Washington version of himself. Still early, though.

This game thread is going to be a cluster **** no matter the outcome.

Me? I'm putting my money on AJ Johnson going off for like 15 points or something.

That would break this site worse than the trade deadline did.

You think I'll be the only one?

We should be safe with Dame sitting out.

Playing a bunch of veterans instead of all rookies really change the Wizards though.

Doc's comments about why Dame is out are pretty hilarious. Confirms what we've kind of known.

Doc confirmed Giannis will be around 25 minutes tonight.

Pretty wild to go with Rollins over KPJ, Doc.

I am looking forward to this.

Assuming Doc actually plays KPJ more than 10 minutes..

Hes making way too much loot at this point to be that type of player on anything but a tank commander type squad. How you gonna say you can't play starter minutes at that salary.

Wiz fans losing it on twitter over Middleton replacing Bub in the starting lineup lmao. Can't say I blame them.

I love the Middleton for Kuzma trade because I am a Bucks fan and it makes the Bucks a better team in 2025.

But definitely was a big fan of Middleton and going to miss seeing him in a Bucks uniform. It's s going be weird as hell seeing him in a Wizards uniform.

Who gets more minutes? Giannis or Khash?

They shouldn’t freak. It’s probably just for this game.
