If we had Wall instead of Russ and an average coach we are a top 5 seed this year. But alas, we have the chuckster and the idiot dragging us into the bottom of the league. Beal should demand a trade if Brooks isnt fired.

OTOH, on their careers, Westbrook is a much, much better player than John Wall -- it isn't close.
He's 2 years older than John, of course. OTOH, he isn't coming off a major injury the way John is. Call that a wash...?
2 years ago, at the age John is now, Westbrook had a year better than any John Wall has ever had. Way better. He dropped off last year -- almost entirely b/c his defensive rebounding & assist numbers were significantly down. I expect his assists to pop back up to career average.
Several posters here have speculated about "flipping him" to the Knicks or Clippers. Depending on what we took back, obviously, that could turn out pretty well.
In the end, I guess, the only thing I feel sure of is that the Washington Wizards remain a pathetic franchise.

Interesting to see Shake Milton up there. So it wasn't just our bad defense against him - he's really good - if his 3 point shooting comes back to what it was last season.

Huh! I think someone here has been saying that pretty regularly for a while now.... Hmmm, I wonder who that was?

There was no time that Cousins was "available" that I would have been willing to pay the price to acquire him. He was always overrated.

Hopefully Westbrick fits well and Brooks improves as a coach...
This franchise is so frustrating but at least I don't have to pay for season tickets and stuff like that.
