Think you’re exactly right. They both end up Wizards either way.

Though having watched both with the Wizards, Ky seems to clearly be more of an NBA player. AJ is fun but seems closer to an AND-1 player than a long term NBA player IMO.

Should have just kept Middleton and waited for him to be an expiring as opposed to trading for a player that is the worst fit next to Giannis imaginable.

But then Washington would have the Double George. 

Look at their draft pick since giannis and b4 giannis, they never knew how to draft

Also really poor at developing talent and finding ways to keep it on the roster.

Divincenzo, Merrill and Mamu are all guys we had in our system that never reached their full potential until after leaving the organization.

Horst has worked some trade market magic in the past, but he does not have an eye for potential at all. When the rebuild starts, he needs to be let go.

They used all their knowledge on picking giannis

Was just reminiscing the other day how we traded the draft rights to Norm Powell for Greivis Vásquez

Does Marjon Beauchamp mean nothing to you?

They’ve been terrible. Hitting on Giannis was obviously massive but they’ve got nothing else

Poverty Franchise that got lucky with Giannis who put the team on his back and won a chip.

I listened to the pod a lot when it was him and JJ, and he was fine as a sidekick/everyman, but him flying solo is a rough listen. The video doesn’t help, as his outfits always make me feel like he’s Steve Buscemi in that “How do you do fellow kids?” scene from 30 Rock.

You didnt hear? Hes got celebrity friends in LA. Thats what he brings to the table apparently.

If podcasting was the NBA, Tommy Alter is at best the 13th man. Like a Brian Cardinal type.

Putting him into a starting role since JJ has left the podcast made me unsubscribe. I find his takes uninteresting, boring, vanilla. Less charming than a wet paper bag. Like Jimmy Fallon but way wose, since Fallon at least has some comedy credentials.

One day I looked it up, and someone else commented that Tommy’s dad is somebody in Hollywood. Tommy seems to have been an early mover in podcast production.

Still hate his dude bro takes and softball questions

Exactly. The dumbest questions along with even worse takes. I don’t get how they haven’t gotten rid of him.

Is that the chode on the left??

Getting a real Scumbag Steve meme vibe from him in this thumbnail lol

He’s basically a cellophane man lol. It’s fine if he’s just there to ask pre made questions but always awkward when things shift off the rails.

Are we sure that wouldn’t have been worth it?

I mean Jabari was supposed to be that, but his legs exploded.

I’m so unaccustomed to someone saying something that good about one of our young players

In the 2015 draft they traded 2 picks that would become OG Anunoby and Norman Powell for Greivas Vasquez.

Obviously alot of that is Toronto having an eliter scouting department, but it just shows the mismanagement of assets.

And when they do draft guys they fumble them away lol.

pause

The Bucks actually had no other wings to even play, He would have gotten time no matter what

Yeah true, I think on a competent team he would’ve had a path closer to Jaylon Tyson, where he might do well in a smaller role and need to wait for his chance to play into a bigger role.

But generally speaking, I think his size, skillset and unique play style would’ve always made its way to a significant role, would just be a matter of time.

sarr could become an all star as soon as next season if the wizards end up becoming mid which isn’t out of the realm of possibility tbh. he can be like a 22-24 ppg scorer (assuming trae actually feeds him easy buckets like we think he will) while being one of the best rim protectors in the league. it’s up to wizards fans to push hard for him and to vote as much as possible for him tho

How is this the most controversial comment in this section?

He would have just gotten traded to DC anyways so it doesn’t really matter.

We would have traded him anyways to Washington

You and the rest of the world
