I jus looked it up, Stanley Cup finals this year averaged about 6 million viewers per game, NBA Finals averaged double that. https://www.google.com/amp/s/espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2022/06/viewership-of-the-2022-stanley-cup-final-on-abc-finishes-up-84-from-2021/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2022/06/viewership-for-2022-nba-finals-on-abc-finishes-up-22-percent-from-last-year/amp/ For context, 208 million people watched the super bowl this year...

Barry.Randolphe Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) #KD2DC needs to happen Morris Beal Durant Porzingis Gafford That's a scary athletic team and full of scorers + length. I'd package Rui/Deni/Barton and a bunch of 1sts... This works in the trade machine though: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=23vdo5sm Edited June 30, 2022 by Barry.Randolphe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vented there a bit, my bad, I just don’t see how the NBA is so popular but to each their own. If I was Ovi I would probably be a bit irritated, but anyways go Wizards. Fwiw, I wouldn't pay Beal that much money either but I guess Ted disagrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think those two on the court at the same time would work anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Saw someone float Deni, Kuzma, KCP (Barton now), and Rui along with 2024 and 2028 1s. They’d have: Morris Beal Durant ?? KP Kispert, Davis, and Gafford on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 They just signed Delon Wright for 2 years $16 million. Someone needs to explain to me wtf they drafted Johnny Davis. The problem with this sorry ass franchise is that they miss on so many draft picks they have to trade or sign guys they should be able to develop. 1 minute ago, CRobi21 said: The rookie gonna have plenty of vets to watch and learn from.

TradeTheBeal! Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Delon Wright is a guy that gets traded a lot. He’ll get traded again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Morris/Wright Beal/Barton/Davis Deni/Kispert Kuzma/Rui/Gill KP/Gafford/Carey/Todd Barring a trade, can’t see them adding much more. 1st 10/11 guys seem locked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Imagine if they had hit on one PG type in the last two drafts, how much better a position they would be in to make moves. 2 minutes ago, SuperBash said: Morris/Wright Beal/Barton/Davis Deni/Kispert Kuzma/Rui/Gill KP/Gafford/Carey/Todd Barring a trade, can’t see them adding much more. 1st 10/11 guys seem locked in. There is a chance Barton starts and Deni is a bench player. Which would be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Soooo.... we just punting on player development... then wondering why our guys don't develop? Not looking good for Johnny D's outlook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) If they hadn't given Gafford that extension last year, Andre Drummond is out here signing for $3M/year. Edited July 1, 2022 by justice98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Collins would actually be a really nice signing. Would be the first move in a while I would be moderately excited about. He isn't a superstar or anything but a solid player. *edit* I thought he was a free agent, I guess Atlanta is trying to trade him. I'd still be interested provided we don't have to give up too much. A Hachimura/Kipsert type package would be sufficient. Edited July 1, 2022 by abdcskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I think Collins has great value and in a few years with more years off his extension, would be a pretty attractive trade piece to a contender, but having a hard time seeing a trade scenario that works.

It wont Collins is making 25 mil a year and the Wiz are 2 Mil away from the Luxury tax so in reality Kyle Kuzma(13 Mil) and Will Barton (14.3 Mil) two expiring contracts would likely be the trade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a solid no. Maybe one pick, I can stomach, but multiple? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I said it yesterday, but I think the Wizards are more likely to get Kyrie Irving than Durant. Irving, Beal, Porzingis is a better trio skill set wise than Durant, Beal, Porzingis imo. Having two athletic 7 footers who like to shoot from long range on the court at the same time semms odd imo. Plus salary cap economics dictate Durant not being able to fit on our roster. Ultimately neither of them will end up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I don’t understand all the guard signings. Weren’t the wizards after Oladipo? Then we signed a bunch of nobody guards and buried our draft pick on the bench. None of that makes sense. 5 hours ago, vegeta613 said: It wont Collins is making 25 mil a year and the Wiz are 2 Mil away from the Luxury tax so in reality Kyle Kuzma(13 Mil) and Will Barton (14.3 Mil) two expiring contracts would likely be the trade I don’t see Collins as a major upgrade over Kuzma. Taking on that salary for a minor upgrade seems like a dumb move. He’s paid like a star but he’s obviously not that guy (which is why Atlanta is desperate to get rid of him) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
