Free At Last, Free At Last, Thank God Almighty Ernie's Era Passed!: Wizards 2019-20 Season Thread

[PS5 Pro]

But who selected the players who failed us?

You acting like he drafted Greg Oden instead of Durant, Darko over Carmello.
I can assure you he's made more good picks than not...

And still we sucked despite having three max players supposedly in their prime or close and years to achieve what he wants to achieve

MIN just hired Rosas, so he's off the table.

I hope Ujiri isn't just using the Wiz as leverage or something to get a raise where he is. Although if TOR gets bounced again in the 2nd round, that probably won't be an option.

Also, I can't shake the feeling that the Wiz are going to land in the lottery's top three. Fingers crossed...

You can say that about any team not named golden state

Boston? Milwaukee? Toronto?, Philadelphia? Houston? Denver portland?

Even fukking Detroit, Orlando and Brooklyn were better than us

Wiz need to completely rebuild

East is stronger now so if they don't rebuild the right way, they'll be stuck in mediocrity forever.

Trade Beal to the Lakers for Kuzma & two firsts.

Then try to trade Wall by attaching the Lakers two firsts and two seconds to a dumb team w/ cap space.

Sign guys to 1 & 2 yr deals (Jeremy Lamb, Danny Green type players)

Focus on filling out the roster with guys under 28. Build up their value & trade them by ASB.

It's the only way

This doesn’t always work. They did this in the Wall era and wasted majority of the draft picks. Best they can do is run this team back and see what happens. Who knows what Wall is like when he comes back.

I think we get a top 2 pick.

Bol bol here we come

Crap. Really wanted him. Local guy, too. So did they or didn't they make an offer?

Would he really decline without having heard no offer at all? It makes no sense to me. You can't say no to something that pays you without having some sort of idea what the money will be

I guess nkw its troy weaver, ferry, Shephard or wild card maasai. Im not completely against Ferry like i was in the beginning. The nuance to what he said about Deng was that he was reading verbatim from a scouts opinion about Luol. It wasn't his opinion. Yes he had LeBron but he also built a second 60 win team in Atlanta. In the end he got cleared of all charges. Issue i foresee is backlash from fanbase and from players who still hold that quote against him.
Hinkies free too
Now i gotta go google and see what Troy weaver has done
