So Ted decides both teams can tank the year after generational talents are first overall

The Bullets wouldn’t have gotten 1OA anyway this year. That was ordained to Pop for all of this “service to the game” over the years. It wouldn’t have mattered

 

[Capsman]

We are going to have the most 2nd rounders in league history

Honestly I’ll take it. You have to figure a somewhat competent GM can hit on one of them. Sheppard couldn‘t even hit on a top 15 pick, but Winger being the new toy, I have my hopes up (for now).

The 4 names to keep an eye on are:

Anthony Black (Arkansas) — 6-foot-5 guard
Bilal Coulibaly (Metropolitans 92) — 6-foot-8 forward
Ausar Thompson (Overtime Elite) — 6-foot-5 wing
Cason Wallace (Kentucky) — 6-foot-4 guard

 

[HandsomeTom43]

So we’re going to end up getting more for Porzingis after he opted in than for Beal. Shows how awful his contract was. I’m not a big NBA fan but I can’t quit the Bullets.

Black is the name I keep hearing….

Always bet on Black!

 

[Langway]

Kobe Bufkin seems to be getting some late buzz.

Oh man:

 

[Marshall]

Anthony Black please. I love big guards who can ball-handle.

 

[usiel]

Anthony Black please. I love big guards who can ball-handle.

I don't mind the Thompson twin. Coolibaby can't shoot but if is something he can't put together the comparable is like a Igoudala. I still probably favor Wallace a bit more than Black just because he has a bit more of a floor general vibe and plays D.

No picks for the Wiz

No picks for the Wiz

I guess they fall into being really nice to KP getting to where it seems like he wants to be is their biggest return.

 

[Cush]

so they get two guys over 30 (34 & 31)

also get pick 35

 

[Ridley Simon]

I don’t know Tyus Jones at all. I hear he’s a PG? Grizzlies fans don’t seem happy to lose him.

The Gizzards have Paul and Jones now? This won’t last long.

Keep tearing it down. Tear it all the effing way down.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

I can’t help but be annoyed by these returns on these trades. Objectively, to receive anything is good but my god…

More or less buyouts but saving Ted money. Not a good look.

CP3 next. Do we even own his right now?

 

[usiel]

These are guys for buy out or holding till trade deadline to spinoff. But in the grand scheme of things a whole lotta meh.

 

[Marshall]

Red Tank see no sport difference. #RedTankisback

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Ugh. Better get the scouting and development house in order. They're gonna need to find some late gems.

The good news is this looks like an actual rebuild. The bad news is they did it a year late and chased playoff fool's gold at the deadline instead of trading Kuzma.

Hopefully some speculation I've read on other forums is correct and they're positioning themselves to be able to fleece teams to take on bad contracts under the new CBA.

Anthony Black intrigues me at guard, with that huge size of his, and his reputed defensive prowess. But please for the love of God get a haircut

 

[Roric]

Tyus is too good to tank..flip him for more picks. Maybe try for an actual 1st, I bet LA would be interested:

WSH receive: 17, Beasley, bamba
LAL receive: tyus Jones, Daniel gafford

 

[Ridley Simon]

Another situation where the Wizards had very little control. They needed Porzingis to agree to this, or he’s opt out late last night and become an FA.
