What are we adding that makes us better now and better in the future? The answer appears to be "nothing" and if that's true, it's unacceptable. And Wall's watching, yet to sign the extension........

Destino Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 And now we're competing for 3rd in the east. How the hell can anyone defend Grunfeld's continued employment? He has repeatedly shown that he has a ceiling he simply can not break. We've gone as far as his talents can take us and we'll enter into the period where it begins to fall apart if changes aren't made. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Otto...he's got a better three stroke and he's much younger. Your mileage may vary, of course. Danny Ainge, who put a flame thrower to his own nuts on the Butler/George deals, is a very handsome man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the fact that boston is adding him, amd a top 3 pick, to a team that beat us in the playoffs. We have added replacement level parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer's debacle and Ernie's draft record has screwed us, The only way we can improve is moving the centers contracts. We will have to give up future draft picks to do so, but I still believe we can get Cousins next summer if we can dump these contracts. Gortat can be moved but Mahinmi is an albatross. But I've felt this way for a while, I do not believe this is a championship core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've felt this way for a while, I do not believe this is a championship core. If Miles Plumlee can be traded, so can Mahinmi. Agreed on your last point. This is in no way a championship core. Need a legit 3rd star/superstar on the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Is there possible way, by trading Mahinmi and Gortat away at some point. Of Signing Porter this year, signing Cousins next year, and then extending Wall?? Do we think like that or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Heyward to BOS now official. Add Utah to go with BK gonna have Otto in for a visit.. Edited July 5, 2017 by CRobi21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 If these other teams believe Washington will match a max offer. Then they are more likely to do something to try helping themselves. Bring in guys they could actually sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Wizards will match...not even worried. And what I do think will happen is Otto will be dealt by Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
