What’re the Wiz doing with this? Play him and then trade him move later on?

Especially for going to the Wizards.

Are they going to re-sign Tristan Vukcevic?

I like him as an upside play for Boston if he's available for a vet min deal in free agency. I had assumed that they were just declining his deal to do a new long-term deal, but maybe not?

Filling out a roster?

Tanking is a myth. Teams can rebuild without completely emptying the tank like the Hinkie Sixers. Still gotta pretend to put a product on the floor some people will pay to go watch.

How many Cs do the Wiz have? Dont they have Sarr as well?

Good for Jonas. But other than that, I got nothing. :blank:

They probably signed him to hopefully sell high to someone else at the trade deadline.

I am surprised another team like Okc couldn’t have got him at that price.

Eh no problem with this. They’ll continue to be bad for next 2-3 years and hopefully pick up some good draft picks. He’ll be off the books by the time they’re ready to be good again.

How the F is Richaun Holmes making more than JV next year. I get it from the Wiz's standpoint. Get a big C to help protect Sarr as he develops. I don't get it from JV's standpoint. $10M is pennies these days.

Weird lol thought he’d get more & thought he would go to a playoff team.

I was hoping the Lakers would be able to get him.

They have bigger fish to fry

This makes absolutely no sense for Washington.

They just throwing random players together. Are you rebuilding or retooling?

This is actually a perfect signing.

Paid below MLE, won’t hurt the tank and an easy tradeable contract down the road.

While I don't get why they signed him, he is an absolute steal for that price. Somehow hard to believe that this was his best option.

Yeah, but he's a sleight framed dude who isn't going to be capable of banging in the post. Val gives them that and then some. Sarr will probably be more of a stretch 4/5 as I see it.
