We need to swap Rivers/Sato with Randle/McRae

Man, that Oubre miss was a killer. If he makes that, the lead is cut to 8 and Orlando calls a timeout. Instead, he misses, they hit a 3, and we call a timeout down 14.

One assist. Three turnovers.

That's it. Nothing else. No shots, no rebounds, no steal, no blocks. He's just in there to give the ball to the other team.

ouch

I get your point. But after this year...Beal got 2 years left...no way they signing him again. Dude isnt going to spend his whole career here.

A lot can change in 3 seasons.

I'm not going to get trapped in the mindset that we have to give away every good player because maybe they might leave at some point in the distant future.

Honestly we all or most wanted to keep wall when he was 23/10....now his contract the worse in the NBA...and who the hell gonna take wall at 46 a year!?! He is playing WAYYYYY below the rim and seems to not care... so you stuck with Wall or you get Ryan Anderson and some other players from Phoenix...more than likely Beal will get moved before Wall. You will lose your job for taking Wall right now if you a GM...his deal in 2 years looks REALLLLLLY bad.

If you look at this schedule, this stretch was the best chance to get out of the hole. The schedule gets tough in the second half of the month.

ESPN has a clip on their site. Wizards bad basketball as a highlight of this game.

Ouch.

Beal just isn’t a Max player, he’s a decent player. Max players can put their team on their backs and takeover, they are clutch shooters too.

Completely agree....max means “man we paying you as much as we legally can..but if we could pay more we would”...thats why guys want the max tag as much as they want that money. They refer to themselves as “max players”...it means something to them- as it should. So if you that guy...be that guy. Its not like Wall stoping him from being the man...wall passing it to him...

That was definitely a foul wall should’ve got...if that was harden or Westbrook driving they’ll get that foul

Really disagree on this ...beal is a max player...
We suck as a whole right now but beal has and can definitely win games for us

I disagree. He isn't a first tier superstar to be sure, but there's only about 12 guys like that in the league. That doesn't mean he isn't worth his contract.

There are 34 players in the league making $24M or more. After this summer, there will probably be another 5 or 6 guys. Beal will be one of them. I'm fine with that.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner
