As much as I hate to say it, I agree with my friend @WiggyRuss on the Wizards deal for Bojan now that they let him go. If you were trading him for a 1st round pick then you needed to resign him IMO.


Oh, I hated the trade when they made it. Still hate it.

Bojan is a solid player. But, there was no way they were ever going to be able to resign him. They gave a first round pick in a very deep draft for a role player rental in a season where they had a 0% chance at a title.

It is this type of short term thinking that the Wizards have always pulled. They give up long term assets to get marginally better today. This has been their pattern for most of the last 30 years.

Starting to see why Wizards fans hate management.

Really hope brooklyn get KCP. Marks been trying so damn hard to make free agency splash the last 2 summers. It is only right that he finally gets one to go his way.

They are in an impossible spot. The only way they can land a player is to grossly overpay. It will take them a minimum of 4-5 years to even start to turn this thing around.

Very reminiscent of the Clippers Jeff Green trade.

and Lakers giving up a First Round pick for a 2 month rental of Ramon Sessions.

I loved the Heat moves so far with James Jonson and Olynyk, especially that Olynyk deal. That was a steal.

Both can do a little of everything and they play defense. Just love it.

Giving the Cavs a #1 pick to take the corpse of Baron Davis.

Did I mention that pick turned out to be Kyrie Irving?

I can do this shit all day.

About the Nets and Porter...

All of them added incentives might be a little too much for the Wizards can handle and because of that trade kicker, it might be hard to move him IF he doesn't develop into an all-star caliber player.

Sean Marks is playing with the Wizards. I still think the Wizards will definitely match to his disappointment, but kudos towards him for attempting.

How you feeling about Kelly?

Dude, I really like it.

Chemistry issues at the start of the Season is the only thing that kept you out of the playoffs.

You won't have that issue this year and your roster has gotten better.

Remember: Bam is everything that Kelly isn't and vice versa.

Add those guys to Whiteside, the Johnson boy's and 7 eleven and it's gonna be a fun Season.

I love Lonzo and want Magic to succeed.

I won't root against you unless you are playing the Clippers or Heat.

That's as far as I can stretch...lol
