...Plumlee+Monte Morris for Wall...

The mention of Monte Morris makes me want to suggest you all go back to the 2017 draft thread, where you will find me calling for us *NOT* to trade our late R2 pick but instead to pick Monte Morris, who looked to me like he'd be an awfully good NBA player...

...& he has!

(As it turned out he went #51 -- we had #52 -- but, moving up a couple of spots that far down in R2 is no big problem)

I still believe literally trading wall for a used condom could change the culture completely and turn this team into a playoff team. They would have to dump Morris also. Plumlee+Monte Morris for Wall. Absolute dream trade.

Beal Sato
Ariza Brown Jr
Porter Green
Plumlee Bryant

Monte Morris could have been drafted in round 2 when he came out of iowa State. I posted about him.

You did, yes... after I brought him up!

& he was picked in R2.

Core point: there is nobody home in the Wizards FO when it comes to player evaluation. They are only interested in what they view (closed-mindedly) as the so-called elite prospects.

Where would we be if in 2015, instead of trading UP for Oubre (& losing 2 R2 picks in the process) we had traded DOWN (say our 19 & 49 to the Nets for their 29 & 39) & taken Looney, as you & I both wanted, & then taken Pat Connaughton or Josh Richardson w/ the #39.
