the Wizards might trade Beal about 3 years too late

Well, not like I wasn’t saying they should have traded him in 2019.

And I was also right that they wouldn’t until he was no longer viewed as an asset.

Eh…

Brook Lopez is a major stretch.

Very nice role player. Great fit for Milwaukee.

But KAT is more than that.

And Brook’s defense is overrated in the same way that Rudy Gobert’s was. He is an asset defensively, but he is no Bam.
Bam def. better than Brook defensively- and obviously no where near Mobley.


Trivia- can you name the 1 player in NBA history to be first team all defense younger than Mobley?

Lowry's expiring and Herro would probably work.....wonder if Miami would dod that

I don’t understand the contract. That was the moment to do a sign and trade and both parties would have won. Man. You guys would have also seen the team that invested him by giving you assets have him play 90 games in 2 years due to injury. You’d feel like you fleeced somebody.

Welcome to my life as a Wizards fan!

Long history of making the wrong moves.

Now that could be interesting. If Portland is committed to still trying to contend around Dame, the Raptors offering up Siakam in some kind of deal for the #3 pick could make some sense.

If they do that it’s a quick admission they messed up at the trade deadline

You mean nabbing Jakob Poeltl and fighting for that 9 seed wasn't the right path?

He’s kind of a weirdo but he’s not totally wrong

Dude is gifted

Biggest issue for him is he gets in foul trouble

And since he yells at the refs so much he definitely gets targeted now

2 playoffs wins in 8 seasons

How many times has his team been favored?

They’re a dumpster fire org who didn’t deserved kat

Another reason why they need to do the lottery tournament vs stupid ping pong balls

Thats fine and all but as a former #1 pick i believe he was, you should have better team success by now imo

LOL.

As the 4th best player on his team.

KAT has always been 1 or 2.

Put KAT on a team where he is #4 and they will be damn good.

For 1/2 or 1/3 the price? Give me Bropez.

KAT has always had the talent. His 2 cent head has gotten in the way, clearly.

Contract considered?

Sure.

That wasn’t the how this conversation was framed.

Tim Hardaway straight up said Lopez was a better player. That is what I am pushing back on.

He didn’t say better value, he said better player.

If this is true, Free dame

I don’t even care that it’s Miami

Don’t be dumb like Washington and pretend you got a shot.
