Pick should be about 11-15... Sabonis?

Ivan Rabb projected at our normal spot of 13 on DX.

I think Rabb rises as we get closer to the draft. I bet he goes top 7.

Skal is a huge question mark at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even enter the draft this year.

I'm not a fan of this draft, or the players that will be available at that pick, but it's fair value for Kieff. Hopefully our boy Ryan can find a gem there.

I am not happy because the Suns lost the season and all they got in return is a pick guaranteed to be no better than 10. Markieff ruined the entire team. This is the worst year of Suns basketball ever. If it is not even close. Plus I do not want to watch Humphries or Blair in a Suns uniform. When I think of Blair, I think of Amare annihilating him when he was on the Spurs. Just like I could not stand Tolliver. Every time I watched Tolliver play for the Suns I kept thinking I cannot believe the guy Amare dunked all over now plays for the Suns.

People might say come draft night wow the Wizards have to give their pick to the Suns. But they also gave their pick to the Suns a couple seasons ago and that pick turned out to be Tyler Ennis. So much for that.

Thats it? Were done for the day?

This is the only thing I like about this deal. The potential to get Rabb.

Bledsoe-Booker-(Simmons/Ingram)-Rabb-Chandler/Len

Knight as 6th man. I'd be so happy which means it'll never happen.

Doc gave Lance and a future 1st for Jeff Green

Rabb is definitely not gunna last that long. DX just makes contrarian hipster projections

Rabb's not as good as some here think. But also Labissiere projected 10th, Hield 11th, Stone 9th, Korkmaz 14th.

That picture from Gambo was the one he posted when the Morris brothers got arrested and Kieff and Gambo were jabbing each other back and forth on Twitter. Gambo basically ended it with that picture saying "I'll gladly be the one that takes to you to the airport when you're traded".

This pick is likely going to be lottery. Detroit is still ahead of Wash, and they got stronger. But it's gonna be a dogfight for the last spot between Cha/Det/Was

Washington just got better. A lot better. A different Kieff will be playing for them.

True, but I still like Detroit from those 3, especially with SVG. What is Beal's situation? Will he be back this yr?*

*just realized he returned before the ASB

Were you one of the ones who wanted to keep Kieff?

Good trade. Didn't expected anything better for Kieff.

[TeamTragic]

Another second round pick for Philly

Ellenson is also not a a Top 5 prospect

Yup. And the Wiz have the easiest schedule in the league after the break.

i like the trade. Excellent Pick, bring us a good young player, but i like Djuan Blair too, he is a rebound machine, small but very strong.

[wordsenuff]

congrats to everyone that wanted kieff traded, you got what you wanted. i personally, was never on that boat. i rather have kept kieff but at least i don't have to read the bickering and whining about him anymore.

lets keep this tank moving!!

[rottenbanana36]

I don't think they are going to be worse but the Wizards are a team that if they lose John Wall to injury could plummet down the rankings. It's never a bad thing to have conditions that could potentially prove to be more valuable down the road. Who knows.. Markieff could be a detriment to their team.. it's not the craziest idea ever as we've seen

[carey]

Were you one of the ones who wanted to keep Kieff?

No, I just thought we should get a decent pick and a young player going forward. We only got one of those things. I was fine waiting until the Summer if it meant a better deal as I don't think moving him this season matters much at all. You can't fix team chemistry with 28 games left.

[letsgosuns]

If the Wizards turn their season around (very realistic with their talent), and make the playoffs, how does this trade look if the pick is in the 18-20 range. Was it worth it? Was it worth keeping Markieff around until minutes before the trade deadline as the losses piled on and more and more fans became enraged.

[m1chal]

Would have been better with Oubre attached but I'll take it. Addition by substraction. Too bad Tucker and Tele have not been traded.

Their forum hates it and are talking about his 45% TS%. They will be surprised he turns out to be much better than they expect.
