Carrington, Coulibaly, Johnson, George, Sarr, and now Whitmore.

I like this better than what's going on in Chicago or Utah.

.. can he?

he can certainly put shots up. But he has not shown to actually be good at it.

Yes he can. His negatives are in playing within team concept and consistency.

Smart teams making low risk high reward moves.

I remember when we used to do that.

Cam vs Gradey will be an interesting debate....Now that Cam actually has a chance to play with the Wizards we will see how he performs.....

Dicks defense will always be an issue....But i think both end up having sim impacts....Both are the same tier level of players. Both have flaws

Something smells funny. Whitmore fell in the draft due to health concerns and has missed a lot of games already, despite not playing that much. 2 2nd rounders is a good gamble by the Wiz, but won't be surprised if he has a serious underlying issue like Brandon Roy.

I wouldn’t want to pay either guy 30 million. In theory RJ is more likely to guard his position though. I think I prefer RJ slightly.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I'm too high on Ochai to do that, i would go get him if the price is really cheap. Hes been waived a few times. Just wish this front office was good identifying free agents as they are draftable players.

And it's never mentioned, but Goga was left out of the rotation come playoff time.

Played 4 mins in the play-in vs Hawks
Played 8, 2, and 1 minutes vs Boston

And that's with M.Wagner out.


Its all about matchups, they were playing the Celtics who love to bomb 3s. If they played the Cavs or any team with a true big, he definitely would have been useful.

Its just being prepared for whatever situation the playoffs throw at you. 2019 we needed to go with a massive line using Siakam/Ibaka/Gasol Frontline against the Sixers but then we were able to go normal sized and even just Ibaka at C against the Bucks/Warriors.
