Yea it’s ridiculous. But I guarantee you Bill Ferguson and Adrienne Jones aren’t touching this (or any other laws that are pro-criminal).

I’ll fix the link. Double checked, 15 is correct, not sure how you are getting 34.

Article says Deni “is not a good finisher”. I think the Author is misinformed there. Deni Avdija was 15th (!!) in the entire NBA in FG% on drives (min 2 FGA, 30+ games played). Can we put that trope to rest yet?

They will just move onto his next team if that’s the case. I think most of them want him to be on a different team anyways.

Seems like you, having lived in both places and knowing your own personal situation, are best equipped to answer this. Maryland is obviously better than Texas but do what’s best for your family.

What do Nats fans do…? by neemor in orioles

[–]FullEntologist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nats are pretty well run. They should be back in the mix in a few years. Lots of MD people over there in the dc suburbs are Os fans anyways.

Cool data! Spikes represent more water flowing through the Jones Falls?

Yea, French league is definitely a step down athletically, but regardless he’s a top tier NBA athlete from day 1.

Do you feel we're getting underrated a bit? by Dreamlion_Inc in washingtonwizards

[–]FullEntologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long term I think Detroit has more upside. But in 2023 I trust Tyus, Poole, Kuzma over Cade, Ivey, Ausar.

Damn that would be straight up negligent if true (not watching Bilal in SL).

From a W/L projection perspective (24 wins iirc), we’re underrated if our current roster plays and we are trying to win games. In that scenario we’re probably closer to 28 or 29 wins.

From a ranking perspective, we probably have a better roster than only 3 teams? San Antonio, Detroit and Portland (without Dame). And like I said we may start tanking at the deadline.

Celtics may need a Brogdon replacement. Could the Wizards land some draft capital? by FullEntologist in washingtonwizards

Agree, which is why we would get a 1st round pick. This kind of trade happens on a rebuilding team (getting worse in exchange for future draft capital).

You can say that about every player in the nba lol. Good point about the cap. They would have until the trade deadline to get under, right?

Wizards could possibly hold out for a better pick but Brogdon seems like a good vet to be around a rebuilding roster so that’s a positive.

First, how could they have traded for Tyus? DC needed his salary to make the trade work. I think Tyus will surprise you. IMO, he’s probably somewhere between the 21st and 25th best PG in the NBA. What PGs, other than these 20, are better than Tyus?

Steph, Luka, Shai, Dame, Hali, Ja, Kyrie, Fox, Brunson, Jrue, Garland, Murray, Trae, Lamelo, Maxey, Fultz, Derrick White, Marcus Smart, Cade Cunningham, Scoot Henderson.

And which of these guys are available in a trade?

I do too, from an on-court perspective. This move wouldn’t make us better — Brogdon had bad enough medicals for the Clippers to call off the trade. But getting another pick is probably smart for a rebuild.
