John Wall Appreciation Thread - Part III

[80sballboy]

John gets 38 votes and is third behind Avery Bradley and Klay Thompson on All-Defensive team. Not really sure why other than steals and blocks.

Westbrook also got some votes somehow. IT got one. Lol. It's such a joke

So John went from saying he wasn't going to recruit players to now trying to get Paul George. Good for John for at least trying but it's a major longshot. If you want to say he's throwing Otto under the bus, what's wrong with being f-ing honest. Otto is not and will likely never be a star. He's an excellent complimentary player. You can also play both in the frontcourt but hey, it ain't going to happen with our cap situation unless they do a S&T.

"You got to add another star. You got to add another piece. You got to have three guys. And that's what it's looking like."

**** loser, no face of a franchise that calls himself a leader should make the type of comments he does.

He's now publicly trashed the bench and Otto since the Celtics series and not once placed an ounce of blame in himself for shooting sub 40% with 4 turnovers per game and the worst defense seen on national television.

He literally said we have a good point guard, shooting guard, power forward, and center. So he's not just a terrible leader, he's stupid as hell. He honestly thinks Otto is bad. Smh

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

He is certainly wrong to think Markeiff is better than Otto.

Wall is stupid? Nice thing to say from a so-called Wizards fan. You are so blind to hating Wall that you totally misinterpret his comments or you just don't care. If he thinks Otto is bad, why did he say he had a great season. WTF do we want from the guy. I personally want him to recruit great players, even if the likelihood of getting them is extremely slim.

And by the way, there must be separate standards for Wall and other players by you because Gortat ripped the shi-t out of the bench early in the season and Beal has ripped the team in his own way all season long. I like hearing honesty out of my players and not the same old we tried hard bs.

I think your comments are too strongly anti-Wall.

He's not a loser and he's not a bad leader.

He certainly did have a negative performance against Boston in game six.

It's perhaps a matter of Wall having come in the NBA in the same draft with Paul George, and him being closer to Paul George than he is with Otto Porter.

I'm saying he's stupid for thinking Otto isn't good and Keef is. Which he does.

And yes there are different standards. Gortats comments were awful, but he's a role player, Wall is the face of the franchise that calls himself the leader of the team.... I mean come on now

I'm sure that is part of it, and I know I'm the "anti Wall" guy so I'll chill on this and just leave it at: I don't like these comments and I want Otto back next year

[NatP4]

One last thing, wall tweeted that snarky "lol" at the 1st team all defense list. Like he actually thinks he's good defensively, it's concerning.

And I know this is supposed to be the praise John Wall thread, but we really don't have a thread to just talk about John Wall.

[CobraCommander]

For all the people that came at me for calling certain people that call themselves Wiz fans but only come to the Wall Appreciation thread to blatantly and aggressively TROLL...please read the last few post as I would like to enter them into evidence your honor.

I think they are both servicesable but neither are on a superstar trajectory. Can you imagine either as an all star?

If PG came here (if he is really 6'9") he could easily start over either of those.... SF or PF.

also who would rather MAX...PG or Otto?

Beal is his guy cause I never seen him say a negative thing about Beal whether it was about some negative postgame comments or a bad play/game.

In Gortat defence he appologized teammates and coaches for his comments after our bench started to play better...
I can agree that is better to speak the truth even if it is ugly truth. Covering things up don't solve any problems.

That's fair enough.

I agree that Wall is flat out wrong in implying that Morris is better than Porter. He also could have been more tactful in the way he described his reasoning for wanting Paul George. My guess is that it came out much more anti-Porter than Wall had intended. Wall isn't a media personality, he's a point guard. It doesn't surprise me that he was unable to express his thoughts in a perfectly accurate and concise way. I'm assuming that Porter understands this and probably isn't particularly offended. I'm sure they get along fine since they're really compatible as players.

After sleeping on it, John could have been more eloquent in what he said, but he's not eloquent. Shouldn't have said we're ok at power forward and center, because we're not. Should have said we can use Paul George because we need another star and a guy that can defend LeBron.Didn't need to mention Otto but I doubt Porter is offended.

[NatP4]

He didn't even need to say the defend lebron part, that's throwing shade at lack of confidence in Oubre and Otto. We need a guy to defend Isaiah Thomas too, did he forget that we didn't even get to lebron and that we had to throw Bradley Beal on IT because Wall can't defend him? Same thing with Kyrie.

Higher standards when you're the leader and face of the franchise. Curry didn't trash Harrison Barnes Before they recruited KD, even after the worst finals performance of all time.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

Yeah, I was not happy at all with John's comments. I get what he was trying to say, but he definitely needs to stop name-dropping. You can make your point without throwing rival players/teammates under the bus. He just sounds way too self-absorbed in that interview.

[Kanyewest]
