Of course the ATL
It all depends on what the team is willing to pay & what that player means to that franchise...I don't think Wall is a max contract guy & I don't think you make that type of commitment to a player until you know exactly what you've got in a player. Wiz have been horrible, Wall's been streaky & injured, how has he earned the right to get a max contract?

By being the main thing worth a damn there. Look at Anthony Davis. He's about to be done with his first season and barring a major collapse in his talent he knows a max deal is coming without completely proving his worth.

But if you're the main thing on a franchise that has been terrible since you were drafted, what incentive would I as a GM have to give you the max? What if 30-35 wins is the ceiling on this current collection of players? How does a max contract affect how this team is constructed moving forward? Obviously those are questions the Wiz front office have to answer, but nothing I've seen from Wall indicates that hes worth a max contract especially if you're looking at how you're going to build that roster.

The incentive is to give you as a GM a fighting chance to keep your job. If your franchise player isn't worthy of a max deal, someone fukked up and that someone may be you as a GM. Wall's not the cause of the Wizards sucking. He's not the cause of the shyt that surrounds him. Maxing Wall out shouldn't prohibit you from surrounding him with talent unless you're trying to find a player better than him (in that case you lost)

Well, you got to remember. When Ernie Grunfeld took over in 2003 for Michael Jordan, he went out and signed Gilbert Arenas away from Golden State. He gave him 6 years $66 million. The 2008 deal for $111 million over 6 years and giving Jamison $50 million over 4 years was :snoop:

So, this isn't surprising.

You totally removing the "REASON" they did that is what makes me wanna call you a fakkit :birdman:

Abe Pollin was about to die.. died during the season.
He was just trying to bring this city, Chocolate City a title before he passed
Now you wanna hate like if there was this crucial deal we had, but he passed on it to sign them nikkaz :stopitslime:

Everybody can't have the best players. We tried, and injury made it so we never had a chance to see. Lets stop acting like those Wizard teams wasn't beyond exciting. Like if we wasn't the talk of the league at times.

Like Hibachi was :cook:

Like if Eddie Jordan didn't have the Wizards with the best record in the east or close to it... coached in the all-star game/etc.
I guess none of that happened???

Back to the current, we are basically set. We just need to sure up our depth
And we need consistent coaching and team focus.
We draft a center and PG via Free agency and we are poised to make a run deep into the playoffs sooner than later (Tru Story)

The Wiz need stop with this build around a superstar who isn't even a star yet theory and look at what memphis and the nuggets did by building around good defense and getting a bunch of decent players that work hard, hustle and don't take up a huge amount of salary cap. Alot of teams fail by trying to find THE Guy and signed above average players to deals that come back to bite the team. Beal seems to be legit, just offer Wall 10 millish and if he takes it good if he doesn't just build around a good identity for the team.

Bruh, you don't know wtf you are even talking about.
Wizards have been at the top of the league in defense since Wall has returned.
So we are built around good defense. We have a bunch of decent players who work hard
shyt, Wizards will spank the ugly off Zach Randolphs chin
We got better players than you do, yup.. I said it. Gasol = Robin Lopez
You got rid of Gay... Tony Delk :rudy:
Speaking from a looking to the future standpoint, Wizards are in a better position than Memphis by a wide margin.

Nowt only do we have superstars in Wall & Beal. We got Nene and Webster.
Ariza and Okafor. Booker and Singleton. Garrett Temple has earned an honorable mention as well. Then add in the lottery pick we'll have this summer
Then the salary cap space we'll have the year after that, and probably next year because any team would take on Okafor/Ariza's contract for the final year. Not saying I want them gone cuz I don't, but if something better came around teams would WANT to make that trade with us.

Because of all that, Wiz >>> Most other teams

Well, the Wiz are trying to do something similar. They preach that not one guy on the team is going to just get the ball and everyone move out the way.

I know there playing better defense and winning some games. What im saying is WALL IS NOT A MAX CONTRACT PLAYER PERIOD... Tell him the wiz are about to do big things and offer 10-12 Mil. If he has any common sense and a desire to be relevant he will take it. Or if he wants a money grab he can sign with the bobcats or something cuz aint no decent team offering him a max contract.
