Renegade7 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Nothing matters until the gm is picked. A good GM fires Wes and hires one of the three thats won rings then focuses on trading Beal, not Ted's job or place to do any of that. Everything else is moot, only thing that would've caught my attention tonight is #1 pick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I’m excited to see how they **** up the #8 pick It won’t be in that “they took the best guy available and he couldn’t stay healthy/it didn’t work out” way it’ll be that “nobody really understands the pick and it inevitably doesn’t work out” way 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I agree trading Beal seems like the only hope. I have been a fan for 30+ years like most of you, and this franchise has been stuck in hell forever. It's brutal. Literally no one we draft or sign ends up being good, with the exception of very few. Coaching needs to improve desperately too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lakers giving small contracts and a first for Westbrook, a team offered firsts for Bertans. The Wiz haven’t lacked opportunities to make huge organizational changes. Everything is self-inflicted stupidity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We're gonna end up trading the #8 pick for an established vet to make a run at the 6 seed. This is the Wizard Way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hwhip Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Not surprised Spurs won the lottery,almost written in the stars lol. Least my Magic has two lottery picks,dream would be Cam Whitmore and Gradey Dick. Wizards have some good pieces themselves and if they draft right should be ok. We shall see.

Mooka Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 #8 is the highest draft pick Wiz have had in a decade. (Otto, 2013) Can't really say anything about this team right now looking at the current roster and no GM. Beal and Gafford are pretty much the only players currently signed past 2023 (blue = team option) : Player Age 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 2026-27 2027-28 Guaranteed Team Totals $149,947,714 $148,672,960 $80,695,778 $76,986,270 $57,128,610 $380,345,03 Bradley Beal 29 $43,279,250 $46,741,590 $50,203,930 $53,666,270 $57,128,610 $193,891,040 Kristaps Porziņģis 27 $33,833,400 $36,016,200 $33,833,400 Kyle Kuzma 27 $13,000,000 $13,000,000 $13,000,000 Monte Morris 27 $9,125,000 $9,800,926 $18,925,926 Delon Wright 31 $7,804,878 $8,195,122 $16,000,000 Kendrick Nunn 27 $5,250,000 $5,250,000 Deni Avdija 22 $4,916,160 $6,263,188 $11,179,348 Johnny Davis 21 $4,810,320 $5,050,800 $5,291,160 $6,746,229 $9,861,120 Corey Kispert 24 $3,552,840 $3,722,040 $5,705,887 $7,274,880 Daniel Gafford 24 $1,930,681 $12,402,000 $13,394,160 $14,386,320 $42,113,161 Taj Gibson 37 $1,836,090 $1,836,090 Anthony Gill 30 $1,836,090 $1,997,238 $3,833,328 Isaiah Todd 21 $1,575,000 $1,836,096 $1,988,598 $3,411,096 Jordan Goodwin 24 $900,000 $1,927,896 $2,092,344 $900,000 Xavier Cooks 27 $140,384 $1,719,864 $2,019,699 $2,187,451 $1,860,248 Quenton Jackson 24 $1,017,781 Jay Huff 24 Will Barton 32 $14,375,000 $14,375,000 Vernon Carey Jr. 22 $1,782,621 $1,782,621 I can't believe a new GM wouldn't come into this roster and make significant changes via trade with all the expiring contracts. Assuming Beal is un-tradable then that probably means we will extend Porzingis with the purpose of trading him later. Deadline to extend Porzingis is late June.

The Magic have a ton of potential on their roster. Plus the #6 and #11 picks. Plus the #1 pick last year. Granted the NBA is all about potential and potential needs to work itself into talent... and impatience gets coaches and GMs fired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya'll did finish one game above us!😄 Maybe I am just giving your guys more credit than ya'll are haha. I think Black would be a good fit in Washington if he falls to number 8.

So sad that the team in the nation's capital, which is a basketball hotbed in the amateur ranks, can't field a consistently decent professional program. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
