good deadline tho. nailed it.

We lose this game with Dame. We needed all the defense we played. There was no room to be a little worse, and we're worse with Dame.

We struggled on offence against one of the worst teams in the league. His efficient 25 would've been a godsend in this one.

id suggest giannis probably wouldnt have had 7 turnovers in 19 minutes either :lol:

Did I hear Marques make a P. Diddy reference?

I do not like seeing Khris on the other team.

And I absolutely did not like seeing Giannis have to guard his bestie.

And we would have given up way more, like always. We weren't getting an efficient 25 anyway, he would have looked like last night.

Kuzma s rebounding has been great. 8.2 since the trade

I've been one of his biggest supporters but he has been off this year, glad to see his production over the past two games and hope it continues

Contract starting at 120% of his current salary, or an exception.

So does no one know what we can pay KPJ this offseason?

I feel pretty good he would have hit a shot or two in the final 7 min.

Sent from my CPH2417 using RealGM mobile app

I feel pretty good that the Wizards don't shoot 40% for the game with the human turnstile on the floor.

As a Clipper his stats on 20 mpg were: 9/3.5/3/1 on 42/24/64 shooting
With us so far, his stats on 18mpg are: 9/3/3/1.5 on 56/33/88 shooting.

Thoughts:

1) Giannis doesn't look right. He can't jump like he should. Still effective, but worrisome.

2) Lopez has been rebounding and it's been really needed. I loved Doc posting Lopez up at the end. Should be doing it more. He's good at it, but for some reason neither Bud or Doc want him down there, even when Giannis is out.

What exceptions do we have to work with?

I thought it had more to do with them really wanting Bogey. So moving KPJ was part of making the Bogey deal work.

I could be wrong on that but that was my understanding.

He sucked with them so it might just be GM speak but they talked about after trading for Bogdan that his minutes would be lower so they traded him to a place that was fighting for his services in the offseason and do him a solid.

I’m not gonna over analyze a game like tonight. We won with big games from Rollins, Kuzma and Brook. KPJ had himself a very good 2nd half and we couldn’t score from the field the last 7 mins of the game and still held on. No Dame and not much Giannis and stole a game on the road. I’m satisfied, that is all.

Kuz is gonna give me an aneurysm by season’s end. We did enough to win but that’s more about the Wiz sucking than anything. Brook, KPJ and Rollins share the game ball.

How did taking back a more expensive contract help make a different deal work?

They either gave up on KPJ or had an interest in Marjon. I think it was the 1st.

I really don't know though.

Could be the fill MLE, but there's a lot of moving parts.

I don't think KPJ has much of a market with his history. He's in the same spot as last offseason.
