Michael Winger on trading for Trae and AD:

“We had two avenues to add proven talent, draft and free agency. You look at the free agent prospects 2026 offseason and we had a ton of cap space at the time, we were scheduled to have $85M in room. It was our opinion that Trae Young was the best free agent on the board…we got into friendly, professional conversations with the Hawks that escalated quickly and we ended up trading for Trae Young.”

“Once we got Trae, our competitive approach changed. A friend of mine was managing Dallas so we sort danced around AD a little bit and it became apparent that they would entertain a conversation. So we decided internally, we’ve already gotten Trae Young, what if we paired him with one of the best bigs in the league, one of the best bigs of all time?”

Five-time NBA All-Star John Wall has become the president of basketball operations at Howard University, returning to Washington, D.C. to partner with the top-ranked HBCU in the country, school officials tell ESPN.

“Could’ve arrived here” our goal is not to be a play in team LMAOO

[Michael Sykes, II @MikeDSykes]

So tired of this revisionist BS man.

If the Wizards kept Deni they'd be a 30 win team on the treadmill of mediocrity and people would shit on them anyway.

You just can't win with NBA media.
