Spaceman Spiff Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Should have traded him earlier this year when it was obvious they were headed to a 40 win season. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ****ing forgot about Jim Rome. I went to college with about a thousand Jim Romes. It's like every young man I knew in 2005 mainlined Jim Rome takes. 12 minutes ago, TryTheBeal! said: Not worse at all. The Wall/Beal/Porter thing was already completely dead. This is an opportunity to clean the slate and make another run. Agent Zero/Blatche redux. Wait a second. In this statement are you saying that you are looking forward to Arenas/Blatche redux?

His per 36/per 100 are basically in line with his career numbers. Of course, he's on the Warriors , which surely helps. But my point is, he's not finished, which I was assuming he was. He should be a good resource and inspiration for John. the issue is Wall is recovering from another injury as well. Also, Boogie's game was never about being explosive.

If they coulda found a taker, which was a longshot, I woulda taken literally anything in return. Folks were worried about getting value. Getting out of that contract woulda been my #1 concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very much. Yeah, you're probably right. But unfortunately this injury is so much worse than what Wall was facing before. There is a chance that it's a career ender. We could play for time until this happened. Now there is nothing left to look forward to. It was a coup de grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Does anyone think for a second that he slipped and fell at home? Is anyone buying that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Only the Wizards can bookend a decade by overpaying two point guards coming off significant injuries. Only the Wizards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It's Beal's team now with Wall coming back only because we can't get rid of him. Its brutal because you almost have to expect the second achillies to be inevitable, but he's still a great passer that maybe not being the main focal point will help get more out of. We lost our chance to get the most out of him as face of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be a good resource and inspiration for John. But Boogie isn't on the same team that he was when he got the injury. It forced him to become an NBA vagabond playing for bargain deals. We built everything around John. If he comes back, I have a feeling it's going to be for some other team after they acquire him for a song. We're going to be left taking back dead weight contracts to shorten our commitment, just like we did with Gil, and starting over from scratch.

Also - Boogie is not nearly as agile as he was before the injury....I was surprised to see him posterize Kuzma because he barely got off the ground with his other dunks The only thing John can hope for is that he somehow magically develops an above average outside shot so he can finish his career like Jason Kidd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to deal Beal too. The absolute ceiling of a Beal-led team is 45 wins and a first round out. And he's going to want out after his contract ends now that we can't put another star on the floor next to him. The timing of this injury sucked. We need to deal Beal for draft picks ASAP, but now we only have like a week before the trade deadline to field offers because they moved it up this year for some reason. Not to mention we need to fire Ernie and conduct a GM search at some point too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 He got injured January 29. He had the surgery 21 days prior. He is probably in a lot of pain so he drugged up and fell. It's not hard to believe that he injured himself in his home. It also doesn't actually matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 ****, I just checked and the trade deadline is on Thursday at 3. Yeah we're screwed. We don't have enough time to regroup and figure out what moves to make before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The most Wizards thing that can happen is that the trade deadline passes and we lose Beal to a devastating injury at the end of the year. If you don’t trade Beal, you shut him down and tank full speed ahead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a pathetic attempt at double-down to salvage this, even if you are right. That's why its Beals team now. 16 minutes ago, StillUnknown said: Beal is smart, he's out of here at his first advantageous opportunity.

So who's staying if Ernie gets to do the third rebuild? I'll go into hibernation, and that's attempting to be a gentleman about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to be a real fan any more. I'll switch to watching the Mavs full time and shoot the **** about the NBA as a general observer, but I won't be rooting for anyone any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect this to fall off the front page if that happens. What would it take to get you to come back? Or would you be done done?
