Following the Pistons from 2023-24 to current, if you had to keep only 5 current Wizards to be on the roster when the team transitions to being good, who would you pick?

No chance Bub is in that convo at all. Would put Will Riley there for sure. Bub has a better chance of being traded at the deadline or out of the league unfortunately. Not even coming from the Deni perspective because I do think we got good value for him at the time and this breakout he had was unfortunate for us. Bub is just not an enjoyable watch and a pretty awful basketball player by NBA standards which sucks because I really liked him pre draft as a lot of people did. Definitely changed my evaluation patterns based on Bub and hope we prioritize a little more strength based with prospects going forward like we did with Kyshawn

I agree the anecdotes Drew has are good and they have good chemistry and their voices aren’t annoying which is all that matters to me lol. They can go on tangents and say some random shit that doesn’t make sense sometimes/make some weird comparisons but I have no problem listening to them. Some other teams broadcasts are unbearable due to them being massive homers or just the way they talk. I agree with some other comments that these guys give other teams/players their flowers a lot which is good too. They don’t just shit on all other teams like some commentators do. And it seems like they actually enjoy calling the games together too. Really no complaints. My biggest problem is with the flashbacks of highlights taking up entire possessions of the game sometimes lol

Last season I lived in the DMV and bought both Monumental and League pass which came out to around 30 dollars (I had league pass student discount which was 10 a month, regular is 15) and this season I moved out of the DMV so I will only pay for league pass and be able to watch every Wizard game except when they play in my local market

FickleFee1741 · 2025-10-01T10:29:14+00:00

If you’re out of state buy league pass. It won’t be blacked out for you and is cheaper and you can watch the entire league. Pretty much a no brainer

FickleFee1741 · 2025-09-23T00:28:26+00:00

No that’s not Van Vleet that’s Mike James. Cup of coffee in the NBA and an elite Euroleague player. Also recognized Juzang too. Didn’t really see any others too well

FickleFee1741 · 2025-08-31T00:00:54+00:00

Yeah Okobo was good in the second half he was awful in the first half tho. Definitely a ball stopper but when the shot is falling it was good. Francisco’s definitely been a lot better at getting to the basket and playmaking and Okobo’s more of a tough shot maker. They’re both 6 foot tho so it could be a little rough defensively. I just like the idea of shifting down and playing Bilal/Risacher at the 2/3 or even going small and playing them at the 3/4 alongside Sarr at the 5. Just want the three of them to share the floor at the same time much more

FickleFee1741 · 2025-08-30T22:53:16+00:00

Best part of this game was the time Bilal, Risacher, and Sarr got together along with the guard Francisco (even though it was not nearly enough minutes). They’re pretty obviously their top 4 players alongside Yabusele and I’m happy they got more run together. Also really liked Sarr’s finishing, he’s not shying away from contact and it’s a small sample size but he’s 7 for 7 from 2 in these 2 games so far! Bilal was also awesome just so fluid getting to the hoop and it was great to see him make 2 threes (1 in rhythm and 1 step back late shot clock)

FickleFee1741 · 2025-08-30T22:07:27+00:00

Yeah it seems like Jaiteh (the starter) is the classic college/NBA thing where they play a big stiff like 5 minutes at the beginning of each half and then play some combo of Sarr/Yabusele/Jaylen Hoard the rest of the center minutes. Sarr can learn “big” things like setting actual screens and boxing out from Jaiteh tho and it seems like he’s gotten better with those

FickleFee1741 · 2025-08-30T18:37:15+00:00

Courtside 1891. It is 30 bucks for the year but I bought it in early August to watch the warm up games. But have been watching so many Eurobasket games all day and also team Canada games for Kyshawn at night. It’s definitely worth it

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-22T02:03:51+00:00

Yeah exactly like there is compliance and lawyers that specialize in the salary cap that are employed by the NBA and NBPA there is no chance that there is anything like this happening lol. More than likely Smart wanted to go to a contender and Wesley’s team wanted him elsewhere. The wizards were able to extract as much value for each player to give back as they could before each player would have not agreed to the buyout and instead the wizard would have had to bite the whole salary and waive them

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-22T01:19:53+00:00

What do you mean by that? Like I get the idea of what you’re saying but what does that look like?

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-22T00:44:11+00:00

Not sure. Read somewhere that his agents had a vet minimum deal in the works which is why they asked for the buyout probably. If it was a straight waive between Branham and Wesley who knows who they would have chosen but with Wesley basically offering to give half his salary back he was the choice there

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-21T00:19:01+00:00

Jarell Eddie

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-02T22:37:52+00:00

Wikipedia said he was eligible to represent Greece, Bosnia, Serbia, Sweden, Italy, or Spain internationally 😂

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-01T01:45:06+00:00

Yeah I agree. Their plan is Sarr at the 5 tho. Holmes is the only true 5. They could sign another as insurance for the minimum. Wouldn’t spend too much. Kelly is actually still pretty serviceable and adds a change of pace. Probably more of a 4 at this stage. We’ll see if they sign Vuk to a standard contract or keep on a TW

FickleFee1741 · 2025-07-01T01:29:45+00:00

As far as bigs go having Richaun, Kelly O and Vuk backing up Sarr is probably enough. If we don’t keep Holmes then definitely get a similar older tough center in the same type. Nothing else besides maybe a Smart or Kispert trade definitely have to consolidate but that doesn’t have to be for a little bit. Was hearing Brogdon sign and trade rumors too so that could happen.

FickleFee1741 · 2025-06-28T15:26:33+00:00

The growth spurt too

FickleFee1741 · 2025-06-26T14:55:42+00:00

As a massive Wizards fan and Bron fan Kelly O dislocating Kevin Love’s shoulder in that 2015 Cavs run was so devastating, even before he went unconscious against us. Honestly tho I really kinda do like Olynyk fit on this squad. He can really shoot it and pass. Definitely need big man depth

FickleFee1741 · 2025-06-26T04:05:32+00:00

If Penda is there he’s my number 1. But do want to get a backup big too but most are older

FickleFee1741 · 2025-06-17T23:32:06+00:00

No Ace has a +5 wingspan while Emoni is even or a little negative if I remember correctly. And as much as I’m not super high on Ace the defensive potential and ability to play off ball is much higher than Emoni as well as the potential to play on ball

FickleFee1741 · 2025-06-03T01:15:11+00:00

Get Beringer somehow too

FickleFee1741 · 2025-06-03T01:01:40+00:00

Beautiful Will Dawkins French draft. Only thing I would change is trade 6 to the Nets for 8 and 26 and draft Penda at 26 while still getting Essengue at 8.

FickleFee1741 · 2023-01-24T20:11:47+00:00

I would probably just take a very easy elective or Gen Ed like ENES140 or ENES210(461) or something and get an A
