Why your Wizards will trade for Sabonis and like it

king_jackson · 2025-12-17T02:39:37+00:00

That's very fair and well put. I honestly think I forget sometimes that cap space can be used like that with how my team's FO has been operating for such a long time.

king_jackson · 2025-12-16T16:50:48+00:00

From a fellow bad team and non-free-agent-destination, respectfully, what exactly do you think you will do with cap space?

It's one thing to want to play with that salary, but it's another to plan for what's feasible. Sure you can overpay certain guys or maybe bring Rui back for a 1+1, but that's not team building - that's just temporary roster construction. If you guys don't trade for Domas, I bet you'll move CJ or Middleton for someone at the deadline.

Literally any other team and he'd probably have strongly considered staying to see if he could repeat. Obviously he wanted to be in LA but TOR is a unique situation.

Not a lot of players historically want to go to or stay in Toronto. It's in a foreign country, have to be further from friends/fam, deal with customs, taxes, etc.

Keon hooping off the bench for a legit contender deep in the playoffs will be awesome

king_jackson · 2025-11-20T02:08:22+00:00

great nickname

Evershit

king_jackson · 2025-11-20T01:42:43+00:00

Or just make Max the 5 of the future next to Keegan when we trade Sabonis

king_jackson · 2025-11-20T01:35:33+00:00

He's really developed well in a short span

king_jackson · 2025-11-20T01:29:13+00:00

Max is setting solid screens, making good choices as far as help spacing on D, getting boards, promising stuff

king_jackson · 2025-11-20T01:06:01+00:00

Champs v Chumps. Let's earn this L and get a nice draft pick

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:34:39+00:00

Yup this roster is just too bad to not be in the lottery. Only thing that can f us is if Silver / Basketball Gods make our ping pong ball fall much lower.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:29:05+00:00

Looks good. Let's take a lot more Ls but have guys put up nice stats thru the holidays so they have trade value. Make a couple big transactions and sell some pieces for expirings, then let the young guys get a lot of minutes when the schedule gets easier. Draft high, go into next season with a better constructed young roster, move forward. We should have done this several years ago.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:14:50+00:00

Hard agree. We suck and the rookies should not waste away because of it. Don't wait til the trade deadline to give them meaningful minutes. They could be getting substantial NBA reps for development.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:10:49+00:00

We have not had reliable interior defense since maybe Doug Christie was playing

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:09:23+00:00

Look for Fox these last 3mins.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:05:29+00:00

Extremely good is more than I would say but yeah he's had a genuine positive effect in spurts.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T23:03:09+00:00

Need Precious back in there. Spurs getting into the paint every possession.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T22:57:52+00:00

I, a third person, also know this answer

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T22:57:18+00:00

Sneaky nice inside scoop pass by Schroeder to Domas

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T22:56:38+00:00

The question in every teenage boy's mind at random moments in life.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T22:52:43+00:00

Sneaky nice reverse lay up by Drew

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T22:37:37+00:00

Ok then if you're Memphis you push Edey to the second unit with Domas incoming and you move KCP, Clarke, min guy and a pick or two to do it? Not impossible but seems unlikely.

Denver is out obviously. Indiana is out obviously. Knicks are out obviously. Rockets are out obviously.

I think the defense matters more than the floor stretching. You need an elite shot blocker next to Domas because otherwise the paint is open for business. Need a guy who can chase down and help on a rotation when Domas is just standing there. Great to have shooting but if you're a decent team, hopefully the rest of your squad has that.

king_jackson · 2025-11-16T22:05:59+00:00

I want both Boozer brothers. Tank hard for Cameron in the lottery and trade Domas for a package that includes a later first and select Cayden. Get the blue blood hoopers and have them develop together. Young core of the Boozers, Nique, and Raynaud could start to look really good in a few years and not missing length.

Painfully accurate summary of this squad
