The thing about OKC is they also have tons of cap space as well. SGA is at worst top-15 and is still only 24. He's top-10 potential over the next couple of years if he's not right now.

Similar to OKC rebuilding. In 2-3 years we should be able to see a promising direction with a couple of core all-star potential/caliber youngsters.

Probably not be as much money to get from other teams as there would have been from Tommy.

This is amazing news. This is what Winger needed to know to be sure a complete reset could be done. We are going to see a rebuild. Also, KP is opting in which makes him a good trade chip until the trade deadline.

I'd be shocked if Deni got extended this off-season. There is no reason to do so given his lack of production. Everyone on this team is officially a trade or sign & trade candidate with the new front office. I expect a lot of roster turnover to accumulate young players or draft assets. Winger already said they aren't running it back, which was great to hear. Hopefully KP opts in to his final year as that would increase his trade value with an expiring contract for a good player. I know a lot of people are talking about Beal to Miami, potentially, but I could see Kuz being a fit down there as well. They need size, Kuz can play initiate the offense and he can play solid defense. He won't ever be super efficient but playing next to Bam and Butler and being in the Heat culture might improve him a bit in that area. Plus, it's a lot less in terms of money.

Curry was drafted 7th I appreciate a player setting an expectation. Beal wouldn't ever set that kind of expectation.

Don't forget Calvin Booth and Popeye Jones. I'm not surprised by the result.

are you watching the game?

if Denver loses, they only have themselves to blame. Can’t miss that many FTs. I don’t know if this is great defense or terrible offense.

I kinda hope this is the last game cause this is some ugly basketball. Time for a big Wiz off-season. love that he hit that three. He’s played excellent this game despite that poor outside shooting.

at some point you gotta tell Porter Jr to take everything to the rim and no jump shots.

Bruce Brown is offended you didn’t call out his awful half. Not sure the Nuggets can play worse basketball and they are down only 7 at half.

Some awful officiating. Miami getting away with a lot and Nuggets on the receiving end of some iffy calls.

Miami failing to capitalize on the Nuggets endless string of turnovers. Denver needs to close out tonight

How does this guy still have a job?

As great as Jimmy Butler is, he has to take 30 shots in a must win game like tonight.

Jokic and Murray are a combined 13-36. And they still won by 13. Yikes.

I am really enjoying the fact that these teams don't shoot 50 threes a game. Taking the ball to the basket, post play, floaters. It's just better basketball to me.

Then two fouls that were not fouls. Here we go.

Refs working to keep the Heat in this game.

Only the NBA would make sure there is no game this weekend. It's remarkable how many calls these officials don't really see but call something based on the result.

Jokic was trying to sell a call from contact to the upper body but the fall happened cause the Miami players legit tripping him.

Ted's actions matter more here. Firing Tommy and bringing in this group to lead the front office is acknowledging it's not working. Winger said "we are going to pursue championships by any means necessary" and Ted has given him the freedom to take any path they want. Ted even said to be patient. It's glorious what has happened.

He may genuinely want to be here, but this front office isn't going to run it back.

To be fair, we shouldn't expect Ted to dump all over himself. Plus, there are people in Monumental that will remain and you don't want to pile on them either. Listened to Winger get interviewed after the press conference. He understands the need to grow a new culture for the Wiz. He understands what needs to be here to attract stars. He's going to be good.
