Hersh Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 He's buddies with KD apparently. http://thunderousintentions.com/2015/06/23/kevin-durant-sends-a-message-to-kelly-oubre/ And if KD came to Washington, the guy would never play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 And if KD came to Washington, the guy would never play. Maybe. But not because of positional conflict. We just saw the Warriors win the championship playing a rotation of four guards and three small forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The Wizards don't have the luxury to stash perimeter players on the bench. Otto will play as a stretch 4 most likely at some points during the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Porter is a free agent after this season, correct? We'll pick up his option. Two more seasons of cheap contracts. Then he's an RFA and we would have the right to match offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Unlike the NFL Draft, in the NBA if you're not picking in the lotto you're pretty much just picking between role players. Yeah occasionally you can land a star but its usually just Role Player A vs. Role Player B. Not really gonna go too crazy about Oubre one way or another but at least its not some euro scrub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Club option on Otto so he could be gone after next season if they wanted to let him walk. Seems unlikely though. Zero chance they don't pick up the option. They picked up Vesely's option even though they knew he didn't work out. This pick wasn't made to replace Porter or Beal.

Taylor703 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Dez Wells will be a better NBA player than White. Probably end up being better than Oubre as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Eh, just got a whiff of Oubre's Andrew Quarless-esque / Bucky Hodges-esque tats. No thanks. Thanks for judging. Anyways, I'm here's to hoping that Oubre puts in the work over the summer and over the course of the season. I think him being 2-3 years away is accurate. That being said, maybe later in the season, he can carve a niche for himself in the rotation (hopeful thinking) and get somewhere between 10-15 min per night. I think that's the best case scenario.

Pedro Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Adding another guy with the athletiscism to run with Wall is a big picture move, as is not trying to draft a big when the form book says EG isn't good at that (and our squad isn't strong enough to take that chance right now imo). He does have form for wings so fingers crossed this one works out too. From the little I've now seen Oubre is aggressive and is good below and above the rim, if he works out a good addition (play style) to John's team.
