Anything about him that compelling or mesmerizing is only cause he is new, a freak of nature athletically and we've been mesmerized by Ovechkin (Scherzer too for Nats fans) for years now. He would not be the most popular athlete in DC. 2 minutes ago, Warhead36 said: Zion Mania could reach RG3 levels of hysteria and fan hype. The Wizards fan base is far smaller than the Skins fan base. Plus, RGIII may even squash that hype a little cause people would be remember how fast RGIII flamed out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 How bad does the NBA want the Knicks to be a playoff team? With the worst record, nobody is going to question if they "won" the lotto. As far as Washington, if you get #1. Duh, you take him. If you are around pick 10. I don't know if there is a huge different between that player and one around 15. Next GM needs to start recouping those 2nd rounders Ernie was handing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You negotiate with AD's agent and make sure he agrees to an extension. Build around AD and Beal having a little cap space this off-season then $40 million in caps space the following off-season.

I don't believe ANY reports about Kawhi's future because dude doesn't say ****. LOL. No one knows where he's going except for him. That being said, I think the stars will align next Tuesday and we'll end up with the #2 overall pick. That's just how it's gonna be. Ja WILL be a Wizard just to make things awkward.

The Wizards are not a good basketball team. That’s why I mentioned that. This team is nowhere near the playoffs, and adding Davis and his salary won’t give us much options if he does stay.

The nats fan base started from scratch and benefited from national exposure with some of their pickups. Having sportscenter pointed at wizards arena will bring the casual fans that larger fan bases take for granted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Behold the least surprising revelation ever unearthed by local sports writers: Ernie Grunfeld maintained a culture of zero accountability. Quote As Gilbert Arenas’s 2008-09 season dragged on, injuries limiting him to just two game appearances late in the year, he would show up late to a Washington Wizards team meeting or a treatment because he wasn’t playing and, well, because he could. Ed Tapscott, the interim coach, finally had enough. After all, the Wizards had rules about being on time, violations punishable by fines. But Arenas knew who would win this game of chicken. “I remember telling Ed Tapscott, because he wanted to fine me,” Arenas said, laughing at the memory of missing a shoot-around in Detroit, “I said: ‘You fine me and send that s--- up there. Ain’t nothing going to happen.’ ” Arenas was right. Although the fine slip went to Ernie Grunfeld, the former Wizards president of basketball operations who had the final say on such matters, no financial punishment was administered. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/05/06/first-priority-wizards-new-gm-establishing-culture-accountability/?utm_term=.f04af46615d8 There isn't a Wizards fan alive that should be surprised by this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
