RonArtest15 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The article was stupid. Everything she talked about was discussed openly on message boards, etc. You gotta be a real idiot to not know what was going on. Why seek out quotes from ex-players now, when she could have gotten the same soundbites years ago...Article did absolutely nothing for me. Candace should have had that same energy from a while back. *yawn* 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old stories, like this one, come out at times convenient to the wizards. It’s pretty clear the local press is cooperative. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted is clearly better with media relations than Dan is. He probably doesn’t make the press park in a mud pit, either. @Spaceman Spiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The NBA combine starts in a week. We probably need to go ahead and get on with this GM hire, but I get the sense we're holding out to see what happens with Ujiri and Connelly. So if those teams could just hurry up and crater out of the postseason, that would be nice. As for the combine, the most important data points for me will be to get official measurements on - Culver's height and wingspan and weight - Hunter's height and wingspan and hand size Also, nbadraft.net is running surprisingly thoughtful articles on prospects. I enjoyed this latest one: https://www.nbadraft.net/situational-analysis-matisse-thybulle Check out those arms. Three and a half steals a game is insane. That is NBA 2k-esque. He sounds like the kind of role player we need to help change our culture and put a team of defensive studs around Beal's offense. I wish we had some assets to trade back into the end of the first round with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Here's a good article on Thybulle from thestepien: https://www.thestepien.com/2019/01/06/draft-notes-understanding-matisse-thybulle/ This kid has game-changing defensive talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The form on that jumper is pretty damn ugly. That'll be an issue but at least the release is high and reasonably quick. But he's not just an Andre Robison, because he can hit FTs and his career percentages weren't actually that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid it rains, it turns into a mud pit. And then walking back there after the game in the dark, cutting through that wooded area, any monster could jump out of there and you'd never be heard from again. 17 hours ago, StillUnknown said: he made Thom Loverro walk. big man been holding a grudge ever since Thom Loverro can barely walk or do stairs. He is a big, big man. Seems really nice, but watching that guy move around is sad. Edited May 9, 2019 by Spaceman Spiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had some assets to trade back into the end of the first round with. I think it's gonna be either Ujiri or Connelly. That's why this process is taking so long to conclude. I'd be ecstatic with picking either 1/2, but honestly, getting 3 or 4, you're getting an IMMEDIATE starter. 1 - Zion 2 - Ja 3 - Barrett 4 - Culver/Hunter Thinking about next year, I'd love to see Troy Brown get some extended PT at the 1. No reason for him not to be able to do what Sato does (assuming Sato walks.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
