Woz Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Just as a counterpoint to your happy: the Wizards have played 18 games so far this season, just a smidge under a quarter pole for the season. Points allowed Less than 110 points: 3 times (only twice sub-100) 110-119: 5 times 120-129: 4 times 130-139: 3 times (surprisingly, 2-1) 140-149: 1 time 150+: 2 times They're averaging 122.7 points allowed per game. A bit more like that and they're in the running for all-time worst defense in NBA history (3rd on the list is the 67-68 Seattle Supersonics at 125.1 ppg (why they only go 3 deep, I have no idea)). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Wizards beat the 76ers tonight! Rui with 27 pts & 7 rebounds Bertans 25 pts (7/13 from 3) Ish Smith had 19 points and 8 assists. He continues to prove he should be starting over IT. Beal shot a despicable 29% from the field. They would have won by 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Pretty clear who should be starting and getting most of the minutes at PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 7-17 ... 122.4 points allowed per game ... they stink. Yeah, this feels pro forma to me too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 They need to shop Bertans. I was listening to the Bill Simmons podcast and he was talking about how Kyle Kuzma is not a good fit next to Lebron and his minutes have been cut back. He could be a good addition, or they could try to get a first round pick from someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No trading Bertans. You keep Bertans as instant scoring off the bench to go with Ish Smith, McRae and Wagner. Wall returns next year to go with Beal. You get a top 5 or 10 pick in the 2020 draft and hopefully these young guys continue to develop and then you’re a playoff team again next season.

Skinsin2013 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Trade Beal. Great scorer. Never played defense. Trade Bertans. He's hot. Could get a decent first round pick for him. Build for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants a competitive team so he can fill the seats the best he can - at least if he can still have Beal & Wall and he can for a few more years -even if The Wizards aren't contenders. I think they re-sign Bertans, and draft another versatile forward like Jaden McDaniels to go with the guys they have. PG: Wall, Ish SG: Beal, McRae, Bonga SF: TBJ, McDaniels, Schofield PF: Rui, Bertans C: Bryant, Wagner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plan is a seat-filler plan... it's not a win a championship plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my personal opinion the Wizards will never win a Championship without getting lucky if some draft coming up, the have the #1 pick and a generational talent get drafted by the Wizards when the have the #1 pick. The Wizards are not a big time free agent destination. They have to get lucky, win the lottery and there has to be a generational talent in that draft to take. So, with that being the case IMO they should continue to ride out the Wall/Beal era for as long as they can and be a good team but never a great team with them two leading the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I think they should trade Beal. More bullets in the chamber to get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
