I would take Ellenson and 4 or 5 million of cap savings over Morris, thank you very much.

No kidding.

In fact, however, giving this another thought, you do have to agree that Morris's salary looks more reasonable now. It's sort of a low-rate journeyman salary in the new environment -- and that makes sense, because that's what he is.

Smh if this isn't an indictment on the Wizards' organization, I don't know what is.

I wonder how inept EG and Ted will spin this? Perhaps Ted will make another snarky tweet.

Wizards left with their hands in their pockets, per usual. Not a single impact player left to sign. Good thing we've got all this cap space.

All they had to do was ask *any* Dominican about the likelihood of DC bs Boston, a wealthy Dominican couple choose Boston 10/10 times. It's not even a contest.

So frustrating. Don't be shocked to see them land Durant now.

This year's roster is really going to be the island of misfit toys.

Good for Boston. They are expertly run. The complete opposite of our professional clown show.

Apparently Sullinger, and at this point not a horrible plan. Wasn't a fan prior but if he can be signed at a reasonable rate I'm in....actually decent from 3.

And Beal inevitably getting hurt

We really should tank :clap:

Yep.

It's like how some folk complained about Gortat's salary and now in retrospect, it's a bargain.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Probably no faith in the FO. I wouldn't blame him.

Strangely enough, I'm ok with where we're at.

I mean honestly, after KD this FA class was just blah as far as I'm concerned.

I might be in the minority but I'm fine with the starters.

Just take that cap space and build as strong a bench as possible.

Woj mentioned he has intrigued with washington. I guess he looked at our players and was feeling pretty good about playing the 4 and getting fed by wall.

Then someone reminded him about Ted and Ernie.



Please please dont over react and pay big money to whoever is left.

Well are by far the biggest losers of offseason. Not even a pity **** meeting with Durant to help save face, last episoded on the Bachlorette by Horford, and every other notable free agent signed. Well at least we didn't sign Noah to a max, there's that right? #TheBarIsAustralianPullupLow

That's absurd. We're not the Sixers. We were .500 last season with a ton of injuries including Beal, Anderson and Nene. He needs a quality backup point guard. Not like we have enough money to get one...oh that's right. We have plenty but not much out there. Welcome back Sesh and say hello to an upside of 7th and realistically 9th. I actually think we could have a decent bench if we spend some $$$...f-ck it. It's tough to be positive tonight. :(
