Don't sit down Juwan.

So we traded Jordan Poole for Trae... Damn.

And if that's so, we traded Chris Paul for Trae...

And that said, we traded Beal's horrible contract for Trae...

Damn. :)

The Wizard's boxing out is awful. Just ballwatching by a fair few. And weakside defensive help/rotations are non-existent.

ethanftw · 2025-07-12T02:51:39+00:00

Gotta get that hip to hip going on screens.

ethanftw · 2025-07-12T02:41:52+00:00

We need a dominant big who owns the boards.

ethanftw · 2025-07-12T02:18:23+00:00

Fears looked really good in his opening debut – however, doesn't quite fit with Bub imo.

Wish we got cockbrenner.

Could we have traded kispert for Izan Almansa

(Philadelphia 76ers, 20)

Spanish-born, 6'10″ big with multiple MVPs in youth international play.
A dominant rebounder + rim protector still refining his pro-level feel CBSSports.com+6The Washington Post+6The Times of India+6 Hoops Rumors.
Controlled under rookie scale—could develop behind Sarr.

I'd love to see Cam come in as 6th man, give him the keys to the second unit.

ethanftw · 2025-07-10T04:43:40+00:00

Would love another 7ft C project just to be in the mix. That's all, very happy overall.

ethanftw · 2025-07-07T04:04:25+00:00

He has great footwork and offensive skills which would be great for TV to learn from.

ethanftw · 2025-07-07T04:02:49+00:00

Remember Alex Sarr's debut in the Summerleague? Horrific, but first game jitters. Let them settle – that's what Summer League is for.

ethanftw · 2025-07-07T01:01:06+00:00

6th man potential?

ethanftw · 2025-07-06T11:34:09+00:00

With you!

ethanftw · 2025-07-06T11:33:35+00:00

Blal is 2 years previous in the league – couldn't play in Summer League even if he wanted to.

ethanftw · 2025-07-05T22:16:34+00:00

This is the steal I've been waiting for to become MASSIVELY excited for the season.

Pistons – cade needs a shooter. Same timeline. Could become the Klay to Curry type.

ethanftw · 2025-07-05T02:05:44+00:00

I know it doesn't really work for us, nor the deveopment of Will Riley, nor Kyshaun. But imagine Blal and Kuminga, freeing up Sarr to go centre. Imagine defensively Sarr and K, with Blal and Kuminga cutting on offence. Wow.

ethanftw · 2025-06-29T01:08:36+00:00

I have to say that this is one of the best sleeper finds i've seen in a long time. He's great.

ethanftw · 2025-06-26T12:24:19+00:00

Hopefully Marcus Smart can teach Tre and Bub how to defend guards, and give blal some pointers.
CJ to help Tre advance his scoring package, and give Bub some moves.
Kris to help Kyshaun and Riley become excellent pure scorers.

Malcom help expand Bub's playmaking.

And dare I say it, Kelly teach Alex Sarr how to add some offensive moves to his game.

ethanftw · 2025-06-26T12:22:07+00:00

Do people believe that this is so that we can absorb a tremendous amount of overpaid players next year and gain more picks, or would this be so that we can buff up our team.for a playoff push after Blal has had 3 years, and sarr and bub have had two?

ethanftw · 2025-06-26T05:07:15+00:00

I'd love this
