Hersh Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 When you’ve been the disappointment the Wiz have been, you pony up for the quality exec that wants to come here. I mean, you agree to give a player a super max contract then get cheap finding a new GM? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 It doesn't look like we're going cheap though? I mean we offered him four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Why is Ted trying to play hardball? You give him what he wants and bend over while doing so, if need be.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad contracts to get out from under. No idea what Wall's recovery will really be. Then coaching, scouting, med staff, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Any good gm candidate is going to want a long contract in this situation. The first 3 years at least will be used to put out the dumpster fire. Even if rebuild goes really well, we're probably not seeing the fruits of it until 5-6 years. Just give the man a blank term sheet and say "please fill in the blanks, I'll be loading up the brinks truck for you." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Was Connelly the guy in Denver that traded Gobert and Donovan Mitchell to the Jazz, and got nothing worth mentioning in return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He traded Nurkic(sp) too... If he got rid of all of that and still was able to get that Denver team together... Give him a sixth year! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's leaving a good young team that he's built, to go to a team that is in dire straits. The fact that he's thinking about it is perfectly reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unreasonable to want to think about it, my understanding was this is what he really wants given he's from the area. This to me isn't so much about what he's leaving as what he's walking into, we are already up front not giving him what he wants, so he's probably second-guessing himself. Elongated amounts of time to second guess himself I don't believe work in our favor, maybe his, but not ours.

Destino Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Didn't Houston offer 7 years of first round picks for Jimmy Butler? If the Lakers offer the Wizards that and Kyle Kuzma, I'd be interested. It would have to be something crazy like that though. Lakers probably aren't going to be very good for long, even if they add Beal now. They can have Wall today though for a 2nd round pick if they like. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess. The 4th pick in a weak draft and a bunch of young but average players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Honestly, 16 years of Ernie is our best recruiting tool. If you are even average, you have lifetime tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
