I like adding guys like Baker and white and randle. Honestly, young-ish cheep guys that might be able to have a development year and become usful . Wall needs traded now. I think we can move him with out giving up a pick and taking back anything too terribly awful but we won't get a high return and we need to be ok with that

Just saw box. Glad I was on the road during this one. Guess the Wiz really are better without Wall. What did Bryant look like in his follow up game?

With the Heat and Nets going on a tear, it might take more than 41 games to sneak into the playoffs. I think we will need to play .600 ball the rest of the way to have a chance.

And in my opinion - that is very unlikely.

He sucked but Beal had 7 points on 2 of 11 shooting, Sato was bad, Ariza did nothing, but sure it was Wall's 7 turnovers.


Love how consistent Beal is and how it’s Walls fault that Beal was 2-11. Wiz fans....looking for someone to blame and no one says brooks...it’s all wall all the time...when Wall ain’t sign himself to the 40 mil contract and is even making that this year. Otto, Ian and a;l the other bad moves...including KO for Ariza make this the worse team in sports...Wall included. Might be time to pick up watching something else and check back in In 4 years after full roster turn over

Beal has an excuse he just played 3 overtimes and played 50 plus min's. he was nodding off on the bench and even admitted he was tired. Wall had no excuse.

I think Cobra's point is that the source of all of this is EG. Mahimni/Smith/Nicholson. The Wall contract. Brooks.

Getting rid of Wall won't help us if EG is still there.

Won't argue with that. I would even speculate that a different GM, different roster of supporting players, a different coach, a differently run team, and the extraordinarily talented Wall might be a much different player right now. It's like EGgo lucked out with Wall, Beal, and Porter, then just played 52 pickup to fill out the team.

With Wall, I think we're in the too late to get top dollar, hang on until we sell for bottom dollar or he improves just enough that we change our minds and repeat the cycle all over again.

Thanks...I didn't even check box score well; let alone watch 80s.

Merry Christmas!

Superstar...John has a mode of playing that sometimes IS really magnificent.

Best shot blocker trailing and overtaking a player I have EVER seen in a PG.

God mode John Wall happens. Even I have freakish athleticism occasionally...this AM I'm swimming and forget...bump my head from lap speed...I'm Supposed to be fat old black man.

Glad DCkingsFan sees my point. Wall is the shiny ball that we all are staring at right now while EG kills the franchise and the fans for the next decade. When Wall plays bad or Beal gives you 40 or Sato plays like a servicable NBA player or Mahinmi gets a rebound or Brooks calls a play that works out of a timeout....we ALL get distracted from the problem of the GM! Trade Wall ok...but do you think there isnt another Bad DECISION RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER? Wall aint SIGN HIMSELF TO A SUPERMAX! If Beal was better than Wall Beal would hit the benchmarks needed to get a supermax...and ERINE WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM....Nothing changes but the date on the calendar....Stop focusing on Wall and start focusing on how the Wiz got in a situation where WALLs performance dictates if this team wins 40 games! THINK ABOUT THIS...Wall is at best 3rd team ALLNBA...and he is SUPERMAXED....but no one else thinks he is worth the money....No one thinks Otto is MAX....everyone thinks Beal is aight but thats because he is living up to his contract....which is an example of EG getting lucky he couldn’t pay BEAL MORE...but name the other player on this roster who’s production matches his contract? Our coach is considered one of the worse coaches in the league....especially relative to the talent that he has had working within his system...here and elsewhere. Yeah Wall has been inconsistent...but EG is responsible for that!

Time to tank.

I Love Bol Bol and would be happy with him. But this team as currently constructed would be awesome with Zion.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.
