Seriously, head injuries are no joke. Maybe, but I'm convinced him being the one that got traded broke him as a professional. That was clearly a mistake having seen how Draymond is treating it as enabling and its gotten out of control out there now with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Jordan I can't imagine how humiliating that must be, everyone in the league seeing the video and then being publicly exiled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monumental really doesn't care all that much about the sports teams. This is, in their words, "more about the opportunity to diversify the portfolio of what they are offering." They want more concerts and events so they will use two building for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Went to the game last night with the family. Had great seats and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were four rows behind the scorers table. Our kids thought it was super cool getting to see the players check in and out and getting to see / hear the player interactions with each other. They may not be a great team but the experience of going to a game was great. Edited January 1 by GoCommiesGo 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Bradley needed to go (contract) but I didn't think this needed to be a complete rebuild. Edited January 13 by BRAVEONAWARPATH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I think it was needed. Giving Wall and Beal those gigantic contracts were the beginning of the end. Combined with continual horrible free agent signings (Ian Mahinmi and Davis Bertans anyone?) and wack drafting. This franchise has done absolutely nothing right and it killed a bunch of die-hard fans like me. A complete tear down was needed. We have suffered this long, what's another 5 or so years? 😖 Joke of a franchise it makes me a little upset honestly. Would love to have a good NBA team in DC, we deserve it.

abdcskins Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39306976/pistons-trade-marvin-bagley-iii-wizards-sources-say That's a good trade. Bagley has upside and gives us some much needed size. Pick up two second rounders too from the Pistons, which should be fairly high second rounders.

He is already used to playing on a terrible team. Winger and Dawkins probably still plan on more moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yeah, not like Gallinari and Muscala were part of our future plans anyway. Hopefully they can figure out a way to unload Poole. I'd take a second rounder for him - I know with salary implications we would have to take on some expiring contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me all the expiring deals. Only thing that could make tanking better is getting all the bigger deals for guys who won't be there in two years off the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be a great team but the experience of going to a game was great. Nice, I didn't sit far from this spot for a game like 4-5 years ago. More to the right. Against Toronto with Leonard. Close enough to hear Beal whine to the refs during timeouts, and not in a way that would sway the ref in his favor. Like a "Mommy, I want ice cream for dinner" voice. Totally turned me on him. Game went to OT. Beal had a good game. Over 40pts, with a bunch of turnovers if I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything you change the perception our medical staff make things worse? At least Harris made stadium improvements, did new front office recommend it and Ted said "only if Mayor pays for it"? It's one thing to suck, I expect that, but a whole lot has change for nothing to change period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 They'll never be good unless they hit on a generational talent in the draft. They had guys like Wall and Beal, guys that were very very good, sometimes even great, but not enough. I keep thinking of the Bucks and Giannis. Milwaukee was a frozen outpost for free agents and it still is. They were mediocre at best until they hit on Giannis in the draft. No one knew how good he was going to be, no one could have predicted what he became, not even the Bucks. They also hit on Middleton in the draft. Could also say the same about Jokic and Murray in Denver. But they still haven't been able to sign a marquee free agent, their success has been built on the draft and swinging some trades for guys like Jrue Holiday and Damian Lillard. That's how ****ed the NBA is from a certain perspective...they have a guy like Giannis and no free agent wants to go there. Pick any big time free agent that's been on the market since Giannis has emerged as a force and the Bucks still haven't been an option. The Wizards are an outpost, just not a frozen one...but they might as well be, it's basketball Siberia. If you're a good NBA player (not even a great one), there's no reason to go to Washington when you can have sunny weather in a place like LA or Miami or play in a major media market like New York or play for a contender like Boston. The draft and trades, that's the only way I can see how the Wizards ever become relevant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for word of an overhaul in scouting for a while with new GM and front office structure...still nada... 39 minutes ago, Destino said: I don’t think they’ve ever accepted their medical staff is bad. Of course not...Inova pays a lot of ads that benefit Ted, bite the hand that feeds them? Takes balls he hasn't proven he has yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
