That top 5 pick about to be so sweet :banderas:
Who's there to draft though? Armittedly I don't know shyt about any prospects out there. It's like we're always trash in the wrong years. We had a top 5 pick in 2013 and that draft was pure garbage outside of Giannis of course but he would have been a reach. Then 2014 comes and there's wiggins, embiid, parker

Quiet as kept young lionel ritchie (Otto) been looking pretty good this year 15 &8 on 51% shooting.

3 problems wrong with this team:
1. Coaching
2. Don't have that transcendent superstar (John Wall's an all star, don't think he'll ever be a superstar)
3. and bum ass Beal's lack of development and injury problems.

We need to tank to fix number number 2. Idk how long Brooks should get, we badly need to find a good coach.

Rich But Broke


Wall's willingness to stake his value upon his defense already has been tested. In the team's first film session after its home-opening loss to the Raptors, Brooks pointed out several times where Wall either didn't sprint back on defense or failed to sit down in a defensive stance. He underscored it all by calling Wall the worst defender on the team "by far."

Wall's response?

"I'm like, ‘Damn, I do look like the worst defender. I can't say nothing back.' It's going to make me a better player and a better person."

Ok brehs... been to many games this year... was here Saturday for the Spurs game and here tonight vs Kings:

Our bench is horrible... Satoransky and Thornton are Nikki decent ones... Brooks just lets them figure it out...

Tonight Wall and Gortat both have techs... we down 37-30 with 3:59 in the second.

These nachos are :noah:tho

Beale having nice game with 16

Assuming the Wiz have another lotto season, any chance the GM gets fired and they blow it up? If so, what would be a reasonable package for Wall/Beal?

I want the GM fired. The new GM can do as he pleases.

They'll be in the lottery but how high?

I want Wall and Otto to not be moved. Everyone else and I wouldn't care.

The team needs shooting, a competent PF, more ball handlers on the bench

I told somebody that Wall was having his best season but the team is so bad that it will be all for nothing.
