Destino Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If Porter breaks out like Wall and Beal did, proving all the doubters wrong, the Wizards become a three star team that is going to improve for a few years. I can't really see it playing out that way... but whatever I've been wrong before (often). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Aside from the way nba deals work. There is no reason to think Porter won't improve next year under Brooks. He physically can do so much. Add some swagger and mean streak. He'd be intimidating. Maybe needs ink, a beard and some Ben Wallace hair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 He needs to have leg day six days a week. He'll be fine. Keeping him was absolutely the right choice and this offseason is playing out exactly as expected for us. The only things that blow are that we weren't able to go after Paul George when he became available and we traded our first for a three month rental. We're doing what we have to this summer. Last summer is the one that ****ed us over. We should have worked out an early extension with Porter and we should not have signed Mahinmi or Nicholson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think slower is better if we are gonna rely on his 3 ball. It needs to feel good coming off his hands all off season and its pretty impossible to do that and get noticeably stronger at the same time. Watching my nephew go through the exact same thing currently. Had a shot. Got stronger. Cant find the touch right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think if you're a professional working on your craft, you got nothing else to do in the offseason but shoot 10,000 jumpers and work it out. I don't think he can be stuck in this place physically because now he can shoot threes. But I'm not suggesting he needs to come in next year looking like John Cena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely a difference between a pro and my nephew lol. Point taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hot damn. This is fantastic news. I figured he'd sign it. Too much of a chance he'd miss All-NBA next season. About 10 guys gunning for three spots. Two if you consider CP3 a lock. Turning down the extension meant he could have lost 50+ million even after having a very good season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Four years of control over our entire core. Well technically three since Otto has a damned player option but I imagine he'll opt in if he's happy because of the flattening (and possible contraction) of the cap. That is stability that almost no one else in the league has. We have a real chance to bring in a big fish and make a run. Just have to shed salary by moving Mahinmi and Gortat.

What's the generic, european, not as good version of Boogie? Cause that's what Ernie is cookin' up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
