HE DOESN'T DRIBBLE THE BALL....HOW CAN YOU TURN IT OVER WHEN YOU NEVER DRIBBLE :dahell: DO YOU EVEN WATCH THE WIZARDS OR JUST LOOK AT STATS??

John Wall is responsible for everything he does. He needs a check every two weeks from Otto Porter if he gets paid
He is a 3 a d guy that took way too long to pop and he magically does it in his contract year :dead: don't get bazemore'd

Let this dude walk or sign him to a reasonable contract. You don't give 130m to 3 and D guys that can't create or make anyone on the team better.

expose yourself brehs


the turnovers are so 'freaky low' because he never has to dribble lmao. all he does is sit in the corner and wait to get spoonfed by john wall. his rebounding is aite, and his defense is good - but not good enough to warrant a max because giving a defensive player a max today means that they can either 1) slow down lebron with no help 2) consistently help to blow up a top 5 offense

otto porter is none of those things, and that money can go to guys that can play solid defense and shoot wide open 3s from the corner at half the price....

i like porter, but ain't no damned way to spin him getting a max contract.

Honestly, Wall and Beal take up nearly half the shots. Otto CAN put the ball on the floor and he can initiate offense in the half court. Wall is obviously the best player and takes up all the possession and Otto handsomely benefits from open 3s. Otto is also high on the IQ, he cuts to the rim, he gets offensive rebounds, he knows angles and where to be. That kind of knowledge is pretty valuable on the court because Oubre doesn't have that and we don't have any other SFs on the roster.

The Wizards aren't giving him the 5 year $125M max. Honestly, I think they should or perhaps already offered 5 years and short of $100M. We'll see what the Nets and Kings do tomorrow. But I'd be stunned if they offered him the 4 year $105M max.

This situation wouldn't even have any barring on the luxury tax if they just kept Nene and didn't sign Mahinmi.

It's rape Smart (elite 6th Man), Crowder (above average 3+D starting wing), and multiple first round draft picks for free agent to be George. Nah, I ain't doing that. All OKC gave them is Oladipo and Sabonis. I'm not as high on George as most.

Now look at the context of their team. Even if George leaves after the one year they've cleared out room to let their young guys Tatum and Brown shine. With Avery, Isiah, George, Brown, Tatus (while also trying to get Hawyard) the Celtics have no need for Smart or Crowder. So why not swing for the fences and get a star in George and see if they can compete with Cleveland instead of just holding onto those assets. At some point Boston has to take a risk instead of just trying to sit back and win every trade.

Timberwolves were saved from their own stupidity now that JJ Reddikk and Paul Milsap turned them down.

These idiots need to go and sign JaVale McGee and a bench scorer and be done with this.
