I'd rather see Miller drafted. These guys shooting under 30% are a worry. But, dude seems to get the basket at will and whomever the FO goes after, I'm trusting them until proven we can't. Best FO on paper we've had in my life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he tends to pass it off for someone else to take the shot. It’s hard for me to get past that. It’d be much easier to root for one of the Thompsons.

I am conflicted but if we end up with 3 and draft him I will reluctantly bandwagon. And another thing. Ted was supposed to be content with mid teams. But this team is just blowing it up. The signal is clear. The Wiz are blowing it up. Winger has a vision and is allowed to execute it. And for those that complained that Ted just wanted play in teams there you go. We have higher aspirations now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I thought the whole thing was a pun. It's clear that Miller or Scoot are the next best two prospects. Frankly, the Miller stuff is concerning and I would prefer Scoot. But Miller does have the talent to warrant the next grade. If interested in a rebuild - going with the 3rd best prospect - jump into it verses KP and 8th best. I don't think I should have a bias towards preferencing KP and the #8... so yeah. Shut my eyes and let's just got with the next best prospect. Play our vets to feature them at the trade deadline. It's going to be a couple to 3 years until we should expect anything.

Fergasun Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 What the.... that's all the Wizards can get for Beal? Like a couple lottery tickets for a Jokic 2nd rounder, a 48 year old point guard and not even a young stud of a player? Just a bang average replacement player?

They had no choice after what Ted/Tommy did last year. Beal obviously said only the Suns and they had to keep Ayton. He had all the cards and played the them to the max.

Looks like its basically just a salary dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalhead Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Very surprised they went with the PHX offer, kind of disappointed too. Miami had much better assets and also provide cap relief with Lowry's contract. Edit - I also read that Beal's agent is related to the PHX organization in some way, I think the new owner? So that might be part of why this happened. Edited June 18, 2023 by Metalhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip everyone off value for more picks. and you guys realize that not firing Wes wasn’t a kindness right? He’s going to coach scrubs into lottery picks and then get fired when the team feels like they should start winning. We’ve seen this play out so many times, and I always feel bad for coaches. Less bad this time, because Wes should have been fired so he’s just getting bonus years. 10 minutes ago, Metalhead said: Very surprised they went with the PHX offer, kind of disappointed too.

Hersh Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Beal's NTC absolutely killed the Wiz today. Worst case scenario was Beal picking a team with no firsts and no young players to trade. Tommy Sheppard was one of the worst GMs in pro sports. Tommy and EG set this franchise back a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What team needs a starting PG to be of his level, but are also don't need that PG to be their top star? Give us very young guys and/or late picks. Just take the deal.

Worst comes to worst and they can't get anything meaningful for him, he is a good guy to keep around. Look at what he did for the OKC team in the bubble - the guy is an excellent mentor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
