What’s remarkable is the opportunity this franchise missed out on by keeping Bradley Beal instead of cashing in the golden ticket. That Beal contract is just the Arenas/Wall albatross all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish he would’ve figured out the defensive concepts bc if he had, he would’ve started in DC this year & personally, I would’ve started him & Kuz at forward together. I wanted WUJ to do that last year. But, there was something there between Rui & the coaches, they just didn’t seem on the same page. A lot of people point to his defensive mistakes as being the reason WUJ didn’t start him. Still, I would’ve loved to see Kuz & Rui play together more as our 2 forwards rather than one or the other.

turtle28 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) The league just hates this franchise. What unathletic wing will we draft this year rather than drafting a PG? Edited April 17, 2023 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 For me, the last straw with Sheppard was refusing to read the writing on the wall and (a) trade Kuzma and Porzingis at the deadline and (b) dial up the tank in enough time for it to make a difference. Everyone makes mistakes in evaluations, trades, signings, whatever. But if you’re going to be actively delusional, to the detriment of the team’s future, then you gots to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for like 40 total friends who still care about the Wizards… What's sad is this: Part of Ted’s reasoning is for the tanking move the last few weeks of the season. So, it's the opposite reason why we wanted him fired. We want a rebuild, Ted thinks we should still be playing in the playoffs right now with his stepson Bradley Beal leading the way even though Beal’s inability to stay healthy is arguably the greatest reason we didn't make the playoffs the last 2 years. We wanted Tommy fired bc we didn't think Kuz was going to re-sign so they should've traded him at the trade deadline. Part of the reason Ted fired Tommy is bc he sat players when they still had a chance to make the play-in game.

I that was more Ted saying no than Tommy. Tommy was just doing what Ted wanted. We're going to stay mid bc Ted won't blow up the team while he still has Beal. Now, if Beal asks for a trade, then I think Ted will rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsin2013 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 These are all yes men. Who is the next one? Ted tinkers A LOT. Especially with the big signings, all of which have been wrong. This all lays at his feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard on the radio that they'll hire from outside the organization which is about all we can ask for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
