IT clearly says Louis, not sure what the first part says. I know they don't have an NBA team or anything but...kinda odd to talk about a city you love and want to be in while wearing something that's about a completely different city. Jokes aside, glad they've identified him as a piece to build around, hopefully they can figure it out. I know you're joking, but he is from St. Louis, so the hat makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So is McRae making the team? His preseason play has made him look like a certain nba player, but you can’t really trust what you see in the preseason. Defense is going to be hard to watch this season. There might be better effort on the defensive end with Ernie gone and Wall in sunglasses, but the talent just isn’t there. The likely starting lineup looks like an absolute defensive nightmare. ... and the bench is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally not a fan of trading picks, but with him being a restricted FA, we would be able to keep him right? Long shot in any event, but curious nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is risk with RFAs that someone will poison pill their offer sheet and force you to match a contract you can't really afford. That's what happened with Otto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I’m interested in seeing the young guys play. Troy Brown jr and Rui getting big minutes in games that count, is something I want to see. I want to see how much better Bryant is this season. The team seems to be excited about him this year. How long that can keep me interested, remains to be seen. They’re going to lose a lot of games and I have no hope for their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'll be honest, there are going to be games I go to jus to see the other team play and root for the Wizards to win. I cant think of another more obvious tank that the best player fully bought into, this is weird. They had to of told him they plan to trade for a player to pair with him once some more crap comes off the books, this team looks completely uncompetitive on paper, even drafting a #1 overall pick may take a second to realize their final form, Beal and Wall will be old by then 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 We have a real chance to be the worst defensive team in league history So after Beal, somebody has to score points. I imagine bryant gets 16-18 per game just by being the #2 option on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any deal we take will probably have money extended into next year, and I doubt any team will give up anybody worth that kind of investing for Mahinmi. only chance is maybe he gets thrown in to make salaries work to complete a 3 team deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the wizards are ok losing, so they aren't going to trade anything for today at the cost of tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I thought Bonga was a lock for the Go-Go, instead he's our opening day starter at the 3........dark times ahead If we get to 27 wins it will be a miracle. If Beal misses anytime, we'll be in the teens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 10 hours ago, heyholetsgogrant said: How do they shrink? Guys lying about their height? They listed their shoes-on measurements before, which made sense as a relevant measurement they don't play barefoot. At the combine they get measured with their shoes off too and the NBA has switched to their shoes off measurements in the official listings. They're also rounding to the nearest inch. Basketball shoes are around an inch to an inch and a half tall so most players are going down between one inch and two. The reason they made this change in listing is because basketball shoes aren't standard in height. There is typically around half an inch in variance, so this was an attempt to standardize measurements more. Beal is 6032 barefoot and 6046 in shoes so he gets rounded down to 6'3 now instead of rounding up to 6'5. https://www.nbadraft.net/2012-nba-combine-measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two of those that surprise me are Bob Williams only being 6'8 and Marc Gasol only being 6'11. I thought Gasol was easily over 7'0, he looks enormous compared to everyone else on the court. And Williams has a freaking 7'6 wingspan. That means his arms are almost a foot longer than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
