Crawford is terrible. No defense playing chucker.

John Wall wants him. No way he's nearly as bad as sorry ass Brandon Jennings

He's not signing it at all. He might not sign it next year either. Rich Paul is his agent now. Seems like the Wizards don't care about his Boogie and Eric Bledsoe teaming up again idea. They've all wanted to team up together. They all will probably do it elsewhere now.

 

[Jemmy]

Yes. You have to trade a first for Demarcus. That's fine. Gortat expires in 2019. Mahinmi expires in 2020.

We'd have to hope Cousins signs a 1+1 with NOLA next summer. If he's available at the 2018 deadline, then we can pounce then.

The problem with trading 1st rounders is that it's a cheap 4 year investment in a kid you can bring off the bench and develop at a decent pace. It's an asset. Grunfail continually mismanages them and is lazy with regards to the draft. You have the Warriors and Spurs always drafting kids and they are winning 60 games. They realize the value of a cheap contract producing well.

Trading it for Bogdanovic and then claiming McCullogh is your pick this year is stupid as shid esp when that kid has been injured and the Nets gave up on him in his 2nd year.

If Boogie has no way of coming here at the deadline or this summer then he's not coming here. Wall ain't gonna waste his time convincing him to do all that either.

I still think Wall signs the super max. He'll make 18 mill next year and 19 mill the year after that. He could just sign the super max and make over 200 mill over next few years. Why would he wait it out ? There's no guarantees on the open market that far into the future and it's not like the Wizards are a lackluster team. They have portential to compete seriously in the east.

This team has got to get rid of Mahinmi, Gortat and Smith. Like Jason Smith but he's on the decline. They all got cooked in that Boston series. Keef had a bad ankle more than them and balled out still. Brooks want guys at the 4 and 5 that can shoot. They aren't gonna cut it.

Like McCullough, Mac and Ochefu too but if they can't put no real minutes in a game then they need to go too.

Mike Scott got back in shape seems to be healthy and he's still young. Who knows with him.

He's not unaware of the front office's history. Maybe he goes elsewhere(that had another all star) just because there is an off chance that better organisation can put him in a position to contend kind of like the rockets.

With Grunfeld that door is closed, furthermore be would have to wait to the end of his prime to be a part of a true contender.
