ESPN told me nothing. I have two eyes.And lol@ "they are about the same offensively". One of them can actually shoot! . ML do you realize how close the Wiz came to playing the Heat? And let me guess, you guys would have taken them, too, right.C'mon. You guys would have been lucky to win a game vs the Heat. We played them competitively with an injured Jefferson, who didn't even play one game.

ML, the reason I'm laughing is because the Wiz finished ONE game better than the Hornets, yet most Wiz fans are projecting them to be the best team in the East, while having the Hornets no higher than a 6 seed. Most have them as a 7 or 8 seed, and some don't even have us making the playoffs! That's the definition of "delusional"! You guys are making WAY too much of beating the Bulls last year! Ok, I can buy all that.

Wall > Irving? Good one, ML lol

Not kidding at all. Their roster has a ton of depth. And their two first round draft picks nearly led them to the SL title...as the 23 seed.Besides, I'm not delusional, as most Wiz fans are, thinking they are the best team in the East (what a joke). Hornets are definitely going to be higher than a 7 seed. Probably in the 4-5 range. Book it

A little? They are setting themselves up for failure is what they're doing.Side note: the Hornets nearly won the SL. That team has crazy depth. Don't sleep on 'em.

Oh yeah. That was a nice addition, not gonna lie.

Dejuan Blair? How could I have forgotten THAT addition! LolSeriously, help me see how your team was improved this offseason. I'm truly curious.

So you guys are saying it was a great offseason because he re-signed Gortat? That seemed like a no brainer to me. Picking up Pierce was nothing special, when you consider he's 38 and coming off a season where he posted career-low numbers across the board.Honestly, I think I would have rather kept Ariza (if the numbers worked) over the Truth.

Your roster is every bit as good as those teams. If not for the King, you'd be the clear-cut favorite in the East.

This. He often ends up having to chuck up bad shots at the end of the shot clock, because of the lack of other scoring options. Dell Curry, one of their announcers, talks about this all the time. Says it's why his shooting % is so low. Things 'should' be a little better in that area now, but we'll see. Honestly, I think his lack of size hurts him more than anything. That was sarcasm, given how many Wiz fans have a penchant for overrating their players.

Thank you. Was just about to post this.Not surprised WH posted that though. That's the same guy that said there weren't 5 players he'd trade BEAL for lol smh Btw, Warhead, we weren't the 8 seed. It's ok, man. You tried.

Where have I said anything about Walker? That's right, I haven't. However, I bet if Kemba was a Wizard, their fans would be saying he was a superstar, too. Lol

Anyone that thinks that is a homer. Seriously. He does have the potential to be one though. Sure.

Exaggerate, much? I like Wall as a player. I really do. Beal, too. But neither are superstars. That's not negative. That's just being objective. 2nd place? Why are you bringing up the Nats in this thread?

I'm not hating on Wall. He's just not a superstar.

Wall is not a superstar. C'mon.Paul. Yes. Curry. Sure. Westbrook. You betcha. Edit: the Cavs would be fools to not trade Wiggins to get Love. Absolute fools.

lol wut?

You do realize that LeBron James, the greatest player in the NBA, is a year older than Jefferson and has logged many more minutes? The injury thing is just a mild concern. Lots of players have overcome it. It's not career-ending as you are making it out to be. Al will be fine. I do find it ironic that a Wiz fan would be calling another team's players old. Aren't you guys going to be starting a 38 year old SF? And isn't your back up PG about 40? Lol And you can't look at box scores to determine the level of competitiveness of a game. The fact that a couple of the games were double digit losses is irrelevant to the conversation.. You didn't watch. Just admit it.

They absolutely are not stars. Up and coming stars? Possibly.You wouldn't take Westbrook or Curry over Wall? Lol

Wall and Beal aren't stars. And Pierce is a fossil. You guys have no more star power than Charlotte. Jefferson was arguably the top center in the league last year.

Do you honestly watch any team but the Wizards? How do you get Jefferson is an "old" vet?Also, just because a team is swept doesn't mean they played horrible. Most of the playoff games vs the Heat were competitive, despite Jefferson not being 100%.

I think both of those guys will quickly learn that Clifford doesn't play.

Charlotte was one game worse than Washington last year. And I think Charlotte improved their team more than the Wizards did this offseason. I have zero doubts that the Hornets finish with a better record this year.

?

Yep. I don't think the Wiz are any better than last year. They will be no higher than a 5 seed. Mark it down. I think the Wiz were a 6 seed last year, btw.
