Woz Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 20 minutes ago, MKnight82 said: A vet on a 1 year expiring deal could be valuable at the trade deadline. You could flip a vet at like a $15 mil 1-year deal for another team's terrible 3 year contract around that annual price plus get paid draft picks as compensation. Alright. That makes a bit of sense. The cost is the potential damage you're going to do to the young guys that you acquired in hopes of turning them into trade chips, but I suppose it might be more useful to have something closer to a sure thing (provided not injured) than possibilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Wizards should be hoping for is that some combination of Troy Brown Jr., Rai Hachimura, Admiral Schofield, Moritz Wagner, Jonathan Simmons, and/or Jermarrio Jones develop into a reasonable rotation across the 3 and 4 spots. Spending a bunch of money on a veteran for a year or two play ahead of those guys is a waste. You want those guys to develop so you either are built for the future or you have trade chips in a year or two. While it would be a bit dirty, you could rescind the offer you gave to Ishmael Smith and try to sign Quinn Cook now, and then use the exemption you just applied for to find a decent back up at the #2. Just so you know, Jonathan Simmons is a veteran SG/SF (30 in September) that Sheppard traded our 42nd pick for, I think so the Sixers could open up cap space to re-sign Harris and do whatever else they're going to do and Mknight brings up a good point about being able to trade a players like Parker or Simmons away for a playoff contender that needs a bench veteran for another teams player they are looking to unload or some young players or picks.

We got pick 42 for taking his contract. We didn’t trade 42 away. Took admiral with it Edited July 3, 2019 by LoganF89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Once the Lakers trade becomes official, Bonga and Mo Wagner are expected to play in the Summer League. In another good move by Sheppard: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I’m kinda bummed they aren’t going to re-sign Parker but I get it. They’re going to suck and he won’t make the difference between terrible and good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a poor mans Carmelo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't signed with anyone and he does have a market developing but the Wizards are still in play from everything I see and from a report from Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.

lavar703 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Literally every report was the Wizards were letting Portis and Parker walk. I know you saw them because it’s been reported everywhere. Edited July 4, 2019 by lavar703 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you saw them because it’s been reported everywhere. I just posted several things that contradict that from local sources that say they are interested in re-signing him. Do you have anything that says otherwise? I haven't seen it. Now, the Wizards did decline Parker's $20 million offer for this year but that doesn't mean they aren't interested in bringing him back at a cheaper price and if they get the injured player exception for Wall they can use that $9 million to re-sign Parker, Boogie or others.

lavar703 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/nba-free-agency-rumors-jabari-parker-not-expecting-to-be-back-with-wizards/t7qxnztoj69h1kw7v0fphjd5o That’s one of them but there was quite a few more tweets around the start of free agency from Ben Standig. Unfortunately I don’t have twitter anymore and just see it when I to links etc. Basically the team is saying “yeah we like Jabari but not at the price he’s commanding” so essentially they’re saying goodbye. Which, honestly, is understandable considering the circumstances. I totally get letting him walk. Don’t like it but I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just took your words of “letting him walk” as they weren’t interested. That’s where I was hung up. They’re interested but not at paying him near what Portis got which, is the right move to make. Neither of those two are worth that much and Sato isn’t work his contract either.

Could be. But it's like they expected him to get (for example) a 2 year $30 million dollar deal - and no one is biting. So now his price drops. Now he's floating around a 1 year prove it for $10 million. Maybe now, yes, you would consider him back. But originally, you weren't because of what you expected market demand at. I have no insight into where his numbers are, just using examples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
