I agree

how do u feel about Sharpe? obviously he's shown flashes, is an insane athlete and still only 21 but he doesn't seem to be meshing well with the other guys and team oriented basketball and his shooting has been woeful. I know he's young so there's still plenty of upside but that also means in theory, the Blazers could recoup the investment on him at least somewhat


His 3 point shooting has fallen off a cliff. I like Sharpe but was hoping to see more progress.


Yeah, Sharpe has flatlined pretty hardcore.

Can we please stop it with this craziness already? There is no way in hell the Lakers would start Giannis and bring Jokic off the bench.

You don't think Jokic, Shai, and Tatum would make a solid 2nd unit?

Honestly, I think they might stymie the development of Wemby too much.

Imagine a team beginning their rebuild by dumping a 24 year old future All Star on a great long term contract.

Wizards moved this kid for the 14th pick in a historically weak draft class!!!
Massive fumble.

Words can't describe how angry I have been about it since the day the trade was made. :banghead: I've been screaming from the mountaintops that it was a massive mistake ever since.

Why am I a fan of this wretched Wizards organization?

Over the last 18 games, Deni is averaging 22.3 points, 9.3 boards and 5.1 assists on a TS% of .647 in 33.6 minutes a game. Per 36, that's basically 24, 10 and 5. He's also a top quartile defender, switchable 1 through 4, and he is locked into a contract that pays him just $13M a year for the next 3 years.

I feel your pain, brother. As a fan of the Atlanta Hawks and Falcons -- I understand the sentiment.


The only pain worse than loving a woman who doesn't love you...loving a sports team that doesn't deserve your affection.

Not sure if he will ever make an all star team. He is at best a low 3rd or high 4th option on a contending team. I view him as an elite role player with an outstanding contract.
