@cueh222 @Domo8186 Maybe but who? No one that moves a needle and they can still afford the types of fringe guys they’ll need to add for depth now. Besides, free agency as we know it is probably dead. Needle movers aren’t making it to the open market anymore. They’re re-signing or getting traded.

@CMillsPXP @WashWizards Don’t “if” us Chris. Having that “if” come from someone in the know is the stuff sudden onset hypertension is made of.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@YossiGozlan @SamQuinnCBS Because the Hawks are such a model organization and astute talent evaluators that they couldn’t possibly be wrong on this, right?

Remind me again how that Risacher decision is working out. Trying to make sure my notes are up to date.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@cueh222 @Domo8186 So the plan would be to pay for a guy who you already know isn’t the answer and won’t help with the development of the young players while you continue to look for a guy who might (like you’ve been doing since one season of Westbrook?)…nah. I’m good on that.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@Domo8186 Me. I was ppl. Don’t mind admitting that I was wrong.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@KonartistNupe His mom and presumably his wife. Neither has the assets to make a trade work though so we’re in a tough spot.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@jondschreiber @GregFinberg That’s because this FO came in with a clear plan, has managed their assets exceptionally, and has drafted well. Their next bad move will be their first bad move so they’ve earned the benefit of the doubt. Tommy and Ernie consistently doubled down on being mediocre.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@TcasWizards Well done Tommy

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@jhatem @GregFinberg @calisurf People leave jobs and cities they like for better pay all the time. Feeling like you’re being paid what you believe your worth is a powerful motivator.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@The_DC_Bob He’s not getting an extension but I’d be in no hurry to move him this year. He has to build value back up and I think that a motivated AD that knows he’s not getting an extension and has to build value to get traded is one who can help this team to wins.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@Deetalksalot Bump?

Mismanaging the Webber/Sheed/Howard decisions? Bump.

Trading a lottery pick for Miller and Foye? Bump.

Having to hype Issac Bonga? Bump.

Goodbye to John? Bump.

Nah this ride still smooth as hell.

Let them go and make sure they know it’s a one way ticket out.

[Brett Siegel @BrettSiegelNBA]

It's not at all. The Wizards have no cap concerns until the end of this contract, and they had to pay someone. Might as well lock in Trae as your PG moving forward and assure him you have full confidence in him to lead the team.

I love the deal for both sides & happy for Trae.

[The Wiz Bob @The_DC_Bob]

The only rationale for calling the Trae Young extension “bad” is one simple question

Does this extension prevent us from extending our young talent in the future?

If the answer is no, which it probably is, the dollar figure doesn’t really matter. We’re not paying anybody.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@Domo8186 Zero issues with this. None.

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

Truth. This is how you plan to be late without actually planning to be late.

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

“I’ll just get gas in the morning” is one of the worst decisions you can make as an adult

[nestle_snipez @yezzserski]

Not arguing about Hurts anymore. Your QB is better? Cool. Hes also a fuckin loser that let's you down every year. Mfs dont care bout winning they care about seeing their boyfriend's stats. Go fuckin Birds

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

@MattModderno Don’t know Mumford & Sons, but good to see you away from basketball and out in the streets enjoying yourself brother. Appreciate you. Have a ball!

[Graybeard the Griot @jshuane]

Dubs. And our girls are at .500.
