Some players I saw coming, like DD, but id like clarification on if we told Cloud we wouldn't resign her or she didn't want to stick around for the rebuild. Cloud was the heart of that team and became their best player with DD falling off, now they have no identity and a nepo hite at HC. I'm scared. I'm not. The same person who built that championship team is still running things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same person who built that championship team is still running things Trading for an MVP to build around instead of trying to draft one or sign one was bold and it worked. It's a shame what happened to Delle Donne's back and what coulda been if that didn't happen. Last time I was at a game I wasn't the only one not feeling the son turned HC. I can dig the people that put the roster together still being around, I'm not sold on him. And let's be real, they held on to the center of the team being Delle Donne way longer then they should have, so hopefully they learn from that and not repeat that mistake. I hope they do something bold again, I'm not convinced this is a destination location, especially while advertising rebuild mode to everyone.

Renegade7 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Gafford to Dallas kills me, but heating up. Hoping Kuzma understands what he got himself into signing that contract with us and somewhere counting his benjamins and blessings to calm down. Tank if I've ever see one...now what?

Nobody cares unless some of the them eventually play for the Wizards. My eye is more on player development then even how many picks they get, it killed what we did get right and scared off free agents. 6 minutes ago, ixcuincle said: if they trade deni umma be very upset Idk, man, he's regressed defensively and not improved his shot enough to make up for it, imo. Note to self - NEVER draft someone that sucks at shooting free throws 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, man, he's regressed defensively and not improved his shot enough to make up for it, imo. Note to self - NEVER draft someone that sucks at shooting free throws I was making a crack about the value of 2nd rounders. Agree on Free Throws. https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-league-wide-free-throw-shooting-percentage-by-decade - Give me a roster of guys who all shoot at or above the league average. I don't understand how even guys that are huge and maybe its a weird motion for them, haven't found a way to be able to shoot league average. It's the one thing you can do exactly the same every time and can be practiced alone 100 times a day. 1000 times a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) If we get a first rounder for Gafford that is indeed robbery. That would make the Troy Brown trade look a whole lot better lol. To be clear, it was a good trade to begin with. Troy Brown is a JAG. Edited February 8 by abdcskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Wiz not trying Tyus was a big fail by the front office. I get why not Delon cause they didn't have a deal that would've returned an expiring, but Tyus should've been moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I’m sad to see Gafford go. He’s not a great player but I like his game and I enjoyed rooting for him. Seemed like a good person too. Lucky for me I can still watch him play, and on a better team. So that will be fun. wizards are one game out of last place. We are close to the goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's turned the corner. No drug testing needed. All you need is your eyes. MUCH more aggressive and finishing around the rim this season.

I don't care if he drops 40 next game, next month or next year for that matter...although I'd take it LOL. I'm just looking for consistency. 😀 This is from a poster on another site: Over his first 30 games, Deni averaged 11 points, 5.5 boards and 3.8 assists in 26.7 minutes per game on a TS% of .578. That was basically in line with his prior two seasons (8.7 points, 5.9 boards, 2.4 assists in 25.3 minutes, TS% .535) except with a modest improvement in aggressiveness and finishing around the rim. Over the last 24 games, Deni is averaging 17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists in 30.0 minutes per game on a TS% of .645 and a USG of 22.3%. That's a long enough sample size that it is almost surely real. Those averages rank him 60th in scoring, 30th in rebounding, and 18th in TS% (9th if you ignore rim-running bigs with a USG% below 18) - all while being a plus defender who is switchable 1-4. Over the last 6 games, it's 24.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 33.3 minutes a game on a TS% of .700 and a USG of 25%. While that shooting efficiency is surely not sustainable, the overall production is evidence that he may be even better than his averages over the last 24 games.
