Lots of hand wringing when AJ had a few decent games last season. He's young but it's weird he's been banished for the most part.

Johnson recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across six minutes during Friday's 119-86 loss to the Pacers.

Johnson appeared for the first time in the past five games, bringing his total number of garbage time appearances to nine. Despite the fact that Washington clearly has nothing to play for, it doesn't appear as though Johnson is high on the priority list.

I like how people pretend that triple doubles are still some impressive thing or something.

Cavs 64-18 last year. 14-11 this year.

I’m surprised considering he got a lot of time last season and their roster hasn’t drastically changed too much

It is surprising that the Wiz aren’t force feeding him minutes. Then again if he sucks it will be another mark against Horst’s draft record.

Their agenda atm is to get CJ and Khris sold off.

Khris isn't having a good year. He'll likely get bought out. CJ is having a good year, he has some value.

It’s going to be really weird when Khris signs to retire with the Bucks after his buyout after Giannis has been traded. The 2nd half of the season could be surreal.

Was he ejected? That's the second time he's done something like this.

Celtics now the third string without Tatum after trading Jrue and Porzingis.

It's weird he's not playing in the G League. He's not even been good in that league yet.

He might be something someday, but he has no business on a 15 man roster right now

How far would OKC go without Shae? I reckon they'd still go pretty close to winning it all.

Disagree. He's their engine. They'd still be very good though.

The Cavs were 56-10 at one point last year. Since then, 22-19. That's a pretty decent sample size.
