I hear Nene is reluctant to play Center?

that nikka can be reluctant all he wants, he's gonna play Center when Gortat gets a rest

he might still start at PF each half

I think Oubre at 15 was BPA.

I wanted Portis too but Oubre has a higher ceiling... its an unusual move for us since we rarely swing for the fences and instead go for safe picks...Plus our wing depth is terrible behind Otto. Pierce is gone too.

@Black I doubt we trade Nene... he's gonna play more Center next year.

Humphries and whoever we sign in FA is our hope for stretch PF... or someone with our TPEs

Oubre may have a higher ceiling.....but you have Porter and Beal, so somebody will be the odd man out eventually.

Sportscenter says Deng is opting in

 

[G-Zeus]

LUOL opted in...

not sure its a good idea for him.. he must feel healthy

They'll play Otto at the 4 once he adds 10 more pounds.

And I wish I was ing but that's what they'll do.

I wish they just sat #19 and took Portis. But I can't knock the Oubre pick cause they have also neglected the wings for so long.

Story going online now: ESPN sources say Nets and Grizzlies recently discussed a Joe Johnson-to-Memphis trade



Jeff Green era is over?

Sources say teams could not find workable trade framework, but Nets came away encouraged they'll ultimately find trade taker for J-Johnson



Damnit

It's expiring though so not that big of a deal.

 

[Jaylen Tatum]

LUOL opted in...

he wasn't gonna get 10 mil from anybody else

Oubre's ceiling on the Wizards is a great sixth man.

Nah I'm crying cause we didn't come to an agreement lol I'm all for it especially if we are getting rid of Jeff Green.

I'd say Porter is the one who looks more like a 6th man from the few games of his I've seen...Seem's very versatile and is also a team player.

 

[G-Zeus]

i know..

i thought he could get at least 3/21 or some shyt..

these athletes are going to be surprised.. thinking they will get max money from the new tv DEAL..

its like 2 dude right now that would get the 5/170 .. lebron.. KD most of them will get 5/100 or 5/80 as most team will try to squad up..

he probably thingk he will get a 3/45 next year..

Otto is a starter in this league in the same mold as Ariza but a better ball handler.

I'm going to take your word for it I really haven't seem him that much he just seem's like a team first kind of guy who would come off the bench and play 28-32 minutes a game...But you have most def seen that cat play more than me so I sure enough take your word for it.
